It’s a small town so don’t expect much for entertainment and you’ll be great. The place is homey and clean. The hosts are a lovely couple who care about their guests.

We stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting family in Elgin. It's a beautiful house and our room was also lovely with coffee making machine, water and biscuits. We loved the heated blanket as well! Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. The hotel is also perfectly located with just a short walk to the main shopping area. Would definitely recommend. Owners were also delightful.

Really enjoyed talking with the hosts and grateful they found a fan for our room. Our bed was comfortable, the en suite room very clean and the breakfast generous and delicious. We were grateful they booked dinner for us at a local restaurant and let us park our car on premises while we explored the Elgin Cathedral. Very pleased overall and would highly recommend!

Beautiful old property, made to feel very welcome
Beautiful property in close reach of city centre, we were made very welcome and our host could not do enough for us. The breakfast was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. If I was back in Elgin I would certainly stay here again. If I was to pick a slight negative it would be the low water pressure in the shower but everything else was great and didn’t really detract from the many positives.
