Toggle location map

The Kilmarnock Arms Hotel offers a home-from-home experience for businessmen, leisure guests & golfers alike, but you don't have to take their word for it – simply log on to Trip Advisor to see what previous guests have said about their time at the hotel.

The hotel also has a ‘local’s’ public bar, which shows all major sporting events, including Champions League matches, so feel free to ask the friendly staff if there is something particular that you want to watch. 

For meal times, the bright, airy dining room and warm, cosy lounge are both available depending on your preference, with all menus being available in all areas, including room service. The Head Chef, Matthew Lobban, and his kitchen brigade use the best seasonal & local ingredients to produce dishes for you to savour. Matthew’s real passion is fish & with Peterhead & Fraserburgh boasting the largest white fish & shellfish port’s in Europe, fresh quality ingredients are both readily available & plentiful.

The hotel is situated within the heart of Cruden Bay, just 800m from the renowned Cruden Bay Golf Course & is a short stroll from the picturesque beach, working harbour and the imposing ruin of Slains Castle where the hotel's once-regular guest, Bram Stoker, gained inspiration for his novel Dracula. A commemorative plaque has been awarded to the hotel by Historic Environment Scotland in recognition of the early chapters of Dracula having been written there in 1895.

Having been recently restored, the hotel holds 19 en-suite bedrooms, which remain sympathetic to the design of this historic building. The hotel has a selection of standard, attic, garden view and patio rooms available to suit varying budgets and requirements, as well as two pet friendly bedrooms with outside areas.
