Matt Damon in Scotland: Hollywood superstar Matt Damon says Scottish hotel is ‘best in the world’ for food

The actor, who is sporting a long beard for his role as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s historical epic, has previously been spotted walking along the streets of Cullen, taking pictures with locals at a Buckie gym and even visiting a a go-karting track near Lhanbryde.

Damon’s latest appearance was a visit to the Seafield Arms on Thursday evening where, The Press and Journal are reporting, the actor named it the ‘best dining experience’ they’ve had during their worldwide travels.

The P&J reported how managing director of the hotel Charles Milne took to social media to share details of their interaction.

He wrote: “It was Thursday evening, and as I walked through the dining room of The Beverly Hills Hotel, I recognised a famous face at every table.

“One A-lister leaned in and said, “The food here is the best we’ve had on our journey around the world — and the young staff are remarkable. We wish we could stay longer.”

“Then I blinked… and realised I was still in Cullen.

“The compliments weren’t for Beverly Hills — they were for the outstanding staff, chefs and managers of The Seafield Arms Hotel.”

The owner then went onto praising his staff and said: “I couldn’t have been prouder of our hard-working team and the brilliant young people who represent us so well.

“A heartfelt thank you to Christopher Nolan for bringing his incredible crew to Banffshire — and my very best wishes for the success of Odyssey.

“What a month.”
