Ian, Lorraine and the Devenish Family welcome you to the Cruden Bay Bed & Breakfast, a relaxing and comfortable home on the Northeast of Scotland. We offer spacious en suite accommodation with full Scottish Breakfast year round.
Lorraine and I owned and operated the Red House Hotel for over 20 years. During that time we hosted weddings and provided a fine dining experience in the Slains Restaurant. In 2014, we transformed the hotel into the Cruden Bay Bed & Breakfast catering to travellers looking for an authentic Scottish experience. We pride ourselves in being a family business and our two children, Michael and Lyndsey, have worked along with us at one time or another.
Lyndsey grew up taking golf lessons with her Grandfather, a former captain at the Cruden Bay Golf Course. She went on to represent Scotland as an amateur, winning the Cruden Bay Ladies Golf Championship two years consecutively. She played at the University of San Francisco, turned professional in 2003 and played on the Futures Tour 2003-2004. Lyndsey no longer works in the golf industry but still has a very keen interest in the game.
Michael has been in the family business from a young age. He attended culinary school and went on to work in the hotel. In 2007, he moved to the U.S. where he earned his helicopter pilot license. In 2013, he moved to Seattle and started working with the Seattle Mariners as Operations Manager of Concessions. He met his fiancee Michelle and in 2015 we welcomed our first grandchild, followed by a grandson in 2018.
We are always pleased to welcome guests from all over the world to Cruden Bay Bed & Breakfast. We hope they will fall in love with the area as many have done before to join our ever growing number of returning guest who have chosen to make this little corner of the Buchan coastline their home away from home.
