Elgin

"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

The Old Coach House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was good value for the price. Had to go out for food service, but there was a 'chippy' and a Chinese restaurant close by. And it was quiet at night in the hotel. If I was intending to stay in the area, I would consider Old Coach again."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The view is just stunning - watching the sunset was incredible and we were lucky enough to see dolphins twice. The telescope was a fantastic bonus. We have fallen in love with Findochty and Cullen so we have every intention of coming back! Thank you so much it’s a lovely property."

Golf View Hotel

8/10 Good

"I love the location and been staying here on and off for 20 years but just feel the price is a little steep nowdays for a single person, especially as they want to charge you extra for breakfast. Staff are lovely and can't do enough to help you. Always clean and tidy and they are doing upgrades at the moments"

Stotfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely location overlooking the coast, inside was charming although a little dated but with a bit of investment could be stunning. Booked a room with sea view and wasn’t disappointed, room furniture old but functional, bed was clean and comfortable. Main road directly outside but very little to no noise. The bathroom looked as though it had been modernised but was let down by a hole in the wall panelling and one side of the towel rail hanging off the wall. Breakfast offerings pretty standard, cooked items of bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, hash browns, mushrooms etc, cereals, yoghurt, juices and hot drinks. For a Saturday night / Sunday morning the hotel appeared quiet with only eight other people in the breakfast area. As we were there for only one night it was just a place to sleep really so can’t be overly critical. Lastly, the staff we encountered were all courteous, pleasant, and polite."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Duffus?

The best area to stay in Duffus for a classic Scottish experience is in the village center, particularly around Duffus Castle and the nearby Moray Coast.

The village center of Duffus offers a peaceful setting with a rich history. The ruins of Duffus Castle, a medieval motte-and-bailey fortress, dominate the landscape and provide a direct connection to the area's past. The village itself is small, with a few local amenities and traditional stone cottages. It's an excellent base for exploring the surrounding Moray region.

For couples seeking a quiet and scenic getaway, staying near the village center is ideal. You'll find opportunities for leisurely walks to Duffus Castle, exploring the local countryside, and enjoying the tranquility of a rural Scottish village. The proximity to the Moray Coast also allows for easy day trips to picturesque fishing villages and coastal paths.

Families looking for a relaxed vacation with educational opportunities will also find the Duffus village area appealing. The castle provides an engaging historical site for children to explore, and the open spaces around the village offer room for outdoor activities.

When is the best time to go to Duffus?

The best time to go to Duffus is during the shoulder seasons of May-June and September-October, or the peak summer months of July-August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.

For those who prioritize pleasant weather and outdoor activities, May-June offers blooming landscapes and generally drier conditions, ideal for exploring the Duffus Castle ruins or walking along the nearby Moray Firth coast. There are also fewer crowds than in the peak summer.

Couples looking for a relaxing trip with ample daylight for sightseeing will appreciate July and August. These months provide the warmest temperatures, making it comfortable to visit local distilleries, explore the quaint villages nearby, or enjoy a round of golf without the chill.

September and October are excellent for travelers interested in a quieter experience with beautiful autumn scenery. The weather remains relatively mild, and the changing colors of the foliage provide a picturesque backdrop for exploring the area's history and natural beauty.
