"Good stay. Breakfast was nice with hot options from the menu included. Floor carpet was full of coffestains, bur overall clean and a nice hotel."

Ramnee Hotel

8/10 Good

"The new owners have a lot of work to do and have plans going forward. Rome wasn’t built in a day but they are doing their best. My room was comfortable and I had a couple of issues which were rectified as soon as they were made known to the staff. The food was good and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. Would certainly go back"

"The property was absolutely fabulous, we had a great time and our dig loved the beach. House is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The area is stunning with lots to do. Will definitely be back!"

Laichmoray Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and exceptionally friendly staff. Highly recommend"

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."

The Old Coach House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The ladies on reception were so lovely. Friendly and very helpful advising on gpod eating places and places to visit. The bedroom was clean with very comfortable bed. Sadly the hotel is in need of tlc it showed the signs of great potential and could offer a wonderful eating and drinking venue if developed. The price was very reasonable given the standard of the amenities and a place to certainly use if only needing a base"
