A HOTEL overlooking the renowned Cruden Bay golf course in Aberdeenshire has been sold – more than three years after being first put on the market.
Family-run St Olaf Hotel, based in the seaside village of Cruden Bay, offers views of Slains Castle, a location believed to have inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
It was put on the market in October 2020, when hotels in Scotland were temporarily closed because of coronavirus restrictions.

The property, which located just a few minutes’ walk from Cruden Bay Golf Club, attracts a range of business travellers, domestic holidaymakers, and international tourists. It includes five en-suite bedrooms, spacious lounge, restaurant, breakfast room, and public bar with separate entrance.
Brian Sheldon, regional director of selling agent Christie & Co, said: “This sale was a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to acquire a small family-run hotel in a location which attracts custom on a local, regional and national basis. The St Olaf Hotel is an ideal location for business people, tourists and holidaymakers.
“We wish the previous owners all the best as they look forward to a well-earned retirement. We also wish the buyers every success and we're sure they will further enhance this already established and popular business.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
