    We really enjoyed our stay. The property was spacious, very clean, and located right in the centre of Cullen. The host was friendly, responsive, and made everything a hassle-free experience. Would definitely recommend!

    Toilet water inlet made horrendous noise when flushed. Noise from the upstairs occupants, with creaky floorboards, waste water gushing, thumping up the stairs. More annoying than anything.

    Location was great, out of the way but central at the same time. Everything you needed within walking distance. Easy access to Castle Hill for the stunning views. Well stocked Co-op just up the road. Well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable bed. Excellent shower.

    The sofa bed was really poor and uncomfortable. Kids didn't mind it but wouldn't recommend for teenagers or adults.

    Cullen is a fantastic little seaside village and although I stayed here for proximity to work it is nice to be beside the seaside! Property was functional, excellent kitchen and living room and the main bedroom was very good. On street parking is fine, never short of a space and some fantastic local places to explore (yellow deli 50yds away!)

    That we could not stay longer

    Lovely cosy cottage, in the centre of Cullen. Apartment is comfortable and has everything you need. Bonus they accept dogs as my dogs love being able to walk to the fantastic local beaches. Coop is on the same street plus there are 3 pubs you can walk to all doing excellent food, plus there is a great fish and chip shop and an ice cream shop.

    The only small thing was that the fan in bathroom didn’t work and got a lot of condensation after a shower, but everything else was spot on.

    The apartment had everything we needed, bed comfy , good shower, close to amenities, lovely coastal walks. Good contact with host before stay. Most importantly was it was dog friendly,

    Washing machine facility or indoor clothes line would have been a nice addition. Also, coat hangers near the front door would have been good

    Quiet and very relaxing

    Fab location, could park right outside, even at the weekend. I especially loved the kitchen. It was so quiet, we all slept really well. We were there during a bad winter storm and didn't see the best of Cullen views/beaches but it was a very pretty little town. We will definitely come back. Thank you!

    Nothing! Hard to find dog friendly places in Cullen- but Royal Oak was great! And loved the walks and beach 😊

    Location great, loved the character and space, everything you needed, easy access to town and walks, co-op across the road, easy parking, nothing to dislike!!

    General living noise from upstairs, very creaky floorboards and could even hear their bathroom noise. Bad plumbing/drainage of shower and toilet. A short shower resulted in ankle deep water that did not drain for up to 1/2 hr. Water gurgled up into shower when other taps were run. Toilet did not flush well.

    A lovely comfortable cottage in the very pretty seaside village of Cullen. Good kitchen with full size fridge, stove, oven and microwave. Good communication from owner.
