海菲德阿姆斯酒店(The Seafield Arms-Cullen)

Stopped here for dinner on the middle evening of my three-night stay in Cullen. What a lovely experience from start to finish. I was really looked after as a solo diner by several attentive members of staff, and the food - langoustines followed by the quarter pounder burger - were delicious. The place had a lovely, quietly buzzy atmosphere too. If there was one tiny criticism, my starter plate had only just been removed and I hardly had time to breathe before my main dish was delivered. Really great, efficient service, but a little gap would’ve made it feel just a little less rushed. Didn’t take away from the experience though.

The website promises fabulous food. It wasn’t, pub food at a push with high end restaurant prices. Whoever the chef is needs a lesson in seasoning and adaptation. A £40 fillet. Not seasoned at all. Served with 3 cherry tomatoes and a mushroom!! Fries are extra and at nearly £5 for fries, I was expecting amazing. They were awful. As a prominent hotel restaurant in the town you expect excellence. I gave it two stars as the staff (all youngsters) tried their best.

My parents had booked a table for 11 for Sunday lunch to celebrate some birthdays. They arrived first and were greeted at reception by a lady who, rather than showing them to their table, pointed them in the general direction. Mum then returned to the desk to ask if she was at the right table as there were three individual tables rather than the table for 11 she had booked - the receptionist told her to push the tables together if she wanted… my mum is in her late 70’s and dad in his 80’s. We arrived slightly later and found the table ourselves. I then took my daughter to the toilet and on asking the receptionist where the toilet was got a short and not especially helpful response. Felt like I was interrupting her chat with the barman. The waiter who served us was very nice and the food was ok but the day was definitely spoilt by the way my parents were treated. I appreciate maybe the lady was maybe having a bad day but we didn’t deserve to be treated like an inconvenience. Manners cost nothing.

I knew to book after being turned away previously and sure enough it was very busy. Food was excellent and of a quality you'd expect for the price. Three of us enjoyed our meals and were happy with the service, we will be back. Outside terrace looked inviting in the sunshine but we ate in the bar.

Excellent hotel. Staff. from receptionist to restraint and bar staff very friendly and efficient. Room facilities were excellent and the room was very clean. Only had afternoon tea, which was excellent, and breakfast but the evening meals that we saw being served in the bistro looked very good. Only downside was that the hotel doesn’t have a lift and we were on the 2nd floor. There were 40 steps to the room. Fortunately we only had small overnight bags with us.

This was a great experience, the hotel is well situated in a stunning village, main street. It is tastefully and beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable and cosy, the bathroom was excellent, particualrly the strong shower. Everything was truely perfect and we enjoyed our stay. The icing on the cake was the quality of the food in the restaurant, a delight for gourmets. Artfully prepared food and yet not pretentious. A very comprehensive menu, fresh ingredients, a culinary delight. The breakfast matched the two dinners we had there. Good wine, good service.

Excellent meal, drinks and service in this stunning property. Always well looked after by the young team, and food was excellent on our most recent visit. Great selection of local beers and excellent wine list. Can't wait to return. A must visit when you're in the area.

We wanted something a little special for our friend’s 80th birthday dinner , and the private dining experience here was brilliant. We were very well looked after by Alex and his team members, the service was attentive without being intrusive and we couldn’t have asked for better . The food was delicious, the menu caters for everyone lots of choices cooked to perfection. Thank you team , your efforts were much appreciated by our group .

Popped in Bar19 for a quick lunch and were lucky to get the last table. The food has been a bit hit or miss here in the past, but very pleased to say lunch on this visit was a great hit. I enjoyed the chicken roti and hubby had the seafood cigar, both served with a side of (delicious) fries. Extremely pleasant servers, fast service and really tasty food. Based on this visit, I’d definitely recommend.
