With Christmas fast approaching, the Seafield Arms in Cullen has designed a Swiss-style lodge in its outside area.
Situated on the town’s Seafield Street, the space recently opened and has been inspired by Alpine skiing holidays where “relaxing after a hard day on the pistes is always enjoyed”.
Boasting a capacity of 24, the initial design and idea for the Seafield’s Ski Lodge was the brainchild of the hotel’s receptionist, Rachael Adam, and depute manager, Ailie Flett.
It was then built and brought to life by the hotel’s sister company Milne Property Developments.
‘You could just be off the ski slopes’
Guests are encouraged to wear ski gear to complement the atmosphere at the attraction, which is located in the outdoor patio area.
Ailie said: “Some customers are still apprehensive about eating inside, therefore the lodge is ideal for eating out in our Alps atmosphere.
“A considerable amount of time has been invested but the cost has been minimal as we have used recycled bark for the walls, and the décor has been loaned from Cullen Antiques Centre.”
Each table has an overhead heater to ensure guests are comfortable throughout their stay.
“Guests are thoroughly enjoying the ambiance of the lodge,” Ailie added. “It is already booking up quickly.
“I love the overall impression of it. You could be just off the ski slopes. Guests always get a lovely surprise when they see it.”
