"What a contrast to my last hotel (Balmoral Lodge, Southport ). St Michael's was everything I want from a B&B and more. Beautiful vintage furniture, period features, immaculately clean, lovely owner, great atmosphere. Loved it and the presence of a coffee machine, a fridge and a balcony (looking over the garden) made this a great experience. . I was slightly worried about possible noise from the main road, but, even sitting on the balcony, it was surprisingly quiet. My only issue was the very...

Top Duffus Hotel Reviews

Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside

8/10 Good

"The Whisky Bar was fabulous and the restaurant was very good. We loved the atmosphere. The room was nice."

Sunninghill

8/10 Good

"Good hotel with lovely, helpful & friendly staff. Got chatting to various people in the bar area, which was relaxed with a nice atmosphere. Bar staff were very helpful & chatted with ease. Room was spacious and clean as was the bathroom, but the shower was very weak indeed, but the water was warm enough. The room/bathroom/decor are what you would expect of such a hotel in the area. Make-over would be welcome, but in thee difficult times, fully understand if it isn't priority. Would recommend."

The Station Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a pretty decent choice (more of a bread and breakfast place) given its accessibility to the distilleries. It was clean with very friendly and helpful staff."

The Aberlour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cozy old but quaint property. Staff were lovely. Food was good. Loved the location. Small town so close to everything ."

Laichmoray Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and exceptionally friendly staff. Highly recommend"

Modern Fisherman's Cottage with Stunning Uninterrupted Views of the Moray Firth

10/10 Excellent

"Much more spacious than I expected from photos. Very clean and well prepared. Well equipped. Superb location next to little beach / swimming cove. Others in walking distance, and many in driving distance. Pretty village, one shop, and only one pub, which has limited opening hours , especially for meals. Good heating. Large bath."

Golf View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great gem in Lossie, lovely warm welcoming staff, meals are spot on, rooms lovely and warm, comfy bed, brilliant breakfast. Love staying here and always try and go back."

The Mill House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The service was great and the food was authentic Scottish."

The Old Mill Inn

10/10 Excellent

"For an unknown reason receiving the entry details was difficult but eventually successful. The room was clean and the facilities were very good. The decor won’t please everyone but the invisible staff refreshed towels and drinks efficiently. Aware that no food service was available the presence of the fridge was helpful to store our own items. Didn’t try the recommended place for breakfast. It was a fair price to reach Findhorn and Forres for the festival. When the noise issue was mysteriously fixed it was a comfortable stay."
