Cullen Bay Hotel, an ‘eye-catching premises’ with panoramic views over the Moray Firth and Cullen Golf Course, is now on the market through Graham + Sibbald.

The 14-bedroom hotel, in the seaside village of Cullen on Scotland’s north-east coast between Lossiemouth and Banff, has a mix of public areas, with two restaurants looking out to the sea view through an entire wall of picture windows. Much of the hotel’s letting accommodation, on the first floor, also benefits from those sea views.

Externally, the hotel sits on approximately two acres of land, which offers potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning consent. There is also car parking for around 60 cars, as well as a beer garden and children’s play area.

Cullen is a popular tourist destination, amidst an area of great natural beauty, dotted with historical sites and golf courses. It is, of course, also internationally famed for the traditional Scottish delicacy of Cullen Skink.
