Off the tourist path, but easy to get to, the Kilmarnock Arms was a wonderful side trip. Lots of history and beautiful beaches of the North Sea. Well worth the trip. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Perfect hotel near Cruden Bay Golf Club

This hotel is very consistent. We have stayed there 3 times and have always been happy. Staff very friendly and helpful. If you have a lot of luggage, ask for a room with the least amount of steps to climb.

Great location with an easy clifftop walk to Slain (Draculas) castle. Memorabilia of the town and Golf course was really intriguing. Good sized bed, large room with outdoor courtyard was a real bonus. Food and Drinks were fantastic (Try the beef pie) Some lights in the room did not work but overall really enjoyed our stay.
