My stay at the Killy was excellent, from the time of my check in until I checked out. My room was very comfortable though not modern but was spacious, very clean, quiet and cosy and afforded me a lovely view of the beer garden and a beautiful sunset sky. My dinner and breakfast the following morning were delicious and throughout my stay the staff were welcoming and friendly. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

Nil, well maybe the car parking at the side of the hotel is tight, but hey, it was built in the day of horses and carriages not for motor cars.

The Kilmarnock Inn is an amazing, family run hotel in a quaint little village. The proprietors operate the Inn and I cannot say enough about how amazing the experience was for us. The rooms are spotless, the Inn itself is SO comfortable, the area is beautiful, the food in the restaurant is outstanding. Lots of places do a good job on most things, but the Kilmarnock Inn does it all better than well. This lovely Inn is a place that I would consider making a destination location. We took public transport, but a car would be helpful as the surrounding area has lots to offer. That said, there was plenty to keep us busy.

Nothing. There is nothing not to like.

Room was clean and comfortable, unfortunate it overlooked the busy road. Staff were all lovely, always a cheery smile and did everything to make your stay comfortable. Food was excellent. Hotel could do with a repaint to improve the kerb appearance but inside was quaint and interesting. Cruden Bay is a pretty village and has easy access to other towns and villages in Aberdeenshire.

The outside appearance was in need of improvement.

Staff were very friendly. Room was huge and spotless. Best bit was food. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast and every meal was great. Great choice, plentiful, and really good and prices were reasonable too

Property is a bit tired and in need of some upgrading, but very comfortable and clean

Everyone was friendly and kind. We had a family room but I was expecting a twin room for me and my grandson. The staff chatted with us and even pointed out places to visit. On our final day the waitress said the chef could make pancakes for our breakfast if we wanted, which were absolutely amazing. Everyone was smiling and happy

There wasn't anything to not like

Hotel had a great history and vibe. Staff were incredibly friendly and had helpful tips about local attractions. The Bram Stoker connection was cool too. We really loved staying here.

Nothing - it was great!

Location was perfect, breakfasts were great and the dinner we had was excellent. Bar also has a great selection of single malt whiskys.

Noticed that floors could be swept more often.

Ideally located for playing golf at Cruden Bay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Fabulous food for dinner and breakfast. Large bedroom. Traditional pub/ hotel.

Nothing in particular.
