“A really pleasant stay”

My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights - we came by train and were happy to find that the hotel is only a 15-20 minute walk from the station around the ring road. The hotel is set back from the main road via a short drive and is fronted by a small park with the river on the far side. We arrived early but the room (21) was ready so we were able to check in. The room was delightful with 2 four poster beds, tea and coffee facilities, a TV and a lovely bathroom with bath and shower over. There were 2 French doors, although only one opened, which led onto a terrace at the side of the hotel. Decor of the room was in keeping with the beds and the curtains were thick; the carpet was very pale and unfortunately showed stains around the tea and coffee table. Be aware that this room is next to the public areas of the hotel and noise did travel through the walls - we were kept awake one night by a group chatting loudly in the lounge. We had 2 great breakfasts, everything served hot and with attentive staff. There is a menu with a good selection of choices, as well as a self service buffet for cereal and yoghurts and juices. This hotel was a great base for seeing Elgin and the surrounding area; we were able to walk out of the hotel and find the river walk around the town.. Staff are helpful and the interior decor is generally good. The outside of the hotel - the side and back - need a lot of attention however, as there is peeling paint on windows and doors, and the swimming pool is closed, but generally this didn't bother us.

“Tired and tatty”

It says on the reviews that this hotel is "tired" after visiting family close by I would say its more like in a time warp (circa late 1980's) Its quite tatty in places the bedroom (25) as specially .Carpets in corridors are stained and the ones in the main reception/snooker room has a big rip down the middle. The spa pool and gym haven't been open for at least five years according to locals even though it states its closed for refurbishment. It must have been lovely once .It dose have a nice lounge area the staff were lovely and breakfast was good.

“Currently a 3* rating but potential for higher”

Beautiful setting, very picturesque. Interior is very clean, albeit a bit worn in some areas, peeling wallpaper, chipped woodwork, dated room decor. The gentleman who runs the hotel is very attentive, we weren’t happy with our original room as it was smaller than we anticipated and just felt very dated, spoke to reception who showed us two alternative rooms of a better standard for us to choose from. There is a lovely walk along the river, and the town centre is in walking distance (about 10mins) from the hotel. Not many facilities, bar only open until 9pm and no food on site after breakfast, which is a shame as the breakfast is lovely. With a bit of attention to the interior, and a bit of money spending on it, it’s got the potential to be a really stunning place! I’d say it’s currently a 3* hotel but it’s got the potential to be higher!

“Nice enough.”

Booked by my children for my 60th birthday. My daughter showed me pictures of four poster beds before we left but on arrival we was informed we were in the lodge.

Booked by my children for my 60th birthday. My daughter showed me pictures of four poster beds before we left but on arrival we was informed we were in the lodge. Room was pleasant and there were full kitchen facilities if you wanted to cook. Tesco’s was just across the road. Breakfast was nice and staff friendly. Location was a pain to be honest. Train stop only a 15 minute walk but service was not frequent. Buses were same. Few and far between.
