Appraisal
The ornate frontages of this very distinctive public house are greatly enlivened by a polychrome pebbledash frieze, render surrounds to window and door openings and the incised decorative detailing to the gable end. Its interior has unusually high-quality timber detailing. Sited in a prominent position at the main crossroads in Cullen village, this building retains its original character and continues to function as a public house.
