Kilmarnock Arms, Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire
This independent, warm, and friendly hotel features burning log fires, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, and ample parking. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from both Peterhead and Ellon and only one mile off the A90, the hotel offers a cosy retreat in the heart of Cruden Bay.
Situated just 800 metres from the renowned Cruden Bay Golf Course, the hotel is a short walk from the beach, harbour, and the imposing ruins of Slains Castle. The castle is famously known as a source of inspiration for Bram Stoker, a frequent guest of the hotel when writing his novel *Dracula*. In recognition of this, Historic Environment Scotland has awarded the hotel a commemorative plaque, noting that the early chapters of *Dracula* were written here in 1895. Guests are also just a 30-minute drive from the city of Aberdeen, with scenic views of Newburgh, Trump International, and Royal Aberdeen Golf Courses along the way.
Recently restored, the hotel offers 22 en suite bedrooms that maintain the historic charm of the building. A variety of room options are available, including standard, attic, garden view, and patio rooms, catering to different budgets and preferences. The hotel also provides two pet-friendly bedrooms with outdoor areas.
Guests can choose to dine in the bright and airy dining room or the warm and cosy lounge, with all menus available in both settings, including room service. The Head Chef and his team use the finest seasonal and locally sourced ingredients to craft delightful dishes. With Peterhead and Fraserburgh home to Europe’s largest white fish and shellfish ports, fresh, high-quality ingredients are always in abundance. Guests are encouraged to view the hotel’s menus online.
The hotel also features a local public bar that broadcasts all major sporting events, including football matches on Sky Sports and BT Sport. Guests are welcome to ask the friendly staff if there is a specific event they wish to watch.
The hotel strives to offer a home-from-home experience for business travellers, leisure guests, and golfers alike. Guests are invited to visit TripAdvisor to read reviews from those who have previously stayed and shared their experiences.
