Outside - Hill Crest has a fabulous cliff top location with a sheltered private patio garden in the back complete with picnic table. &nbsp;The paths are gravelled and lead across the garden to our decked area which has a lovely, covered timber gazebo with a table and bench seating. &nbsp;There are also 4 timber deck chairs ideal for sunbathing and dolphin watching in Cullen Bay. &nbsp;Our outside area is a truly special place and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do! &nbsp;

Hill Crest - Clifftop Escape with Sea View

This is my second stay at Hill Crest with my 2 sisters. We look forward all year to returning, and it never disappoints. From the minute you open the door the warmth and welcome greets you. Euan has thought of everything to enable guest to make their stay comfortable and stress free. His attention to detail and style only reflect the love and pride he has, not only for Hill Crest, but Cullen. We were able to enjoy the views and walks better this time, as the weather was kind. It was lovely at night sitting out watching the sun going down. We hope to return again next year all being well. Thank you Euan for allowing us to experience the magic of Hill Crest.

Home from Home

Every time we book Hill Crest we look forward to “coming home”.
The location, superb scenery, and thanks to our host, very comfortable both on the amazing patio and living areas.
Look forward to returning again next year!

Coming home!

The most perfect week in the most perfect location and the most perfect holiday home. You never tire of the views and the home from home comfort is effortless. We walked for miles, Mollie our fabulous golden retriever swam & walked for miles ( i think coming home was a rest for her). Until next time Hill Crest, we thank you for a stress free holiday.

Fabulous

We stayed at Hill Crest in Cullen and can truly say it was one of the most memorable and relaxing vacations we’ve had. The house is beautiful. It’s spotless, thoughtfully furnished, and full of character. The views over the bay are absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Our host, Euan, went above and beyond to make us feel at home. His warmth and local recommendations added so much to our stay, from coastal walks to hidden gems around the area.

Cullen itself is a charming village with friendly locals, delicious food (don’t miss Cullen skink!), and one of the most scenic stretches of coastline.

If you’re thinking about visiting the Moray coast, don’t hesitate. Hill Crest is the perfect place to stay. We can’t wait to come back.

Five-Star Stay, Breathtaking Views

A fantastic week at Hill Crest with extended family - 3 generations and a dog. The house is immaculate, luxurious and has a view that's instantly relaxing every time you see it.
There are so many lovely walks, quality food and sports options in Cullen and the surrounding areas, and spotting the dolphins visit the bay is always a beautiful sight.
We would definitely recommend staying at Hill Crest - this was our 6th visit over the past 10 years and it was lovely to be back adding to special memories.
Thank you Euan! And extra special thanks to Helen for her attention to detail!
