Independent, Elgin hotels

"Don't miss the Quaich bar ( over 700 whiskeys) and have Oscar help you make a selection. A delightfuly informative young man."

"I was traveling alone through the Cairngorms and chose to stay at The Speyside. What a great choice. I had a lovely suite with a generous living area and a comfortable bed. I arrived late after a long day of driving and was met with a smile and an offer of a late dinner - and what a great meal it was. A quick drink before and then a deliciously prepared meal with very friendly service. The morning was much the same - great breakfast and then off on my way. I'd stay here again any time and recommend it highly. PS... while you are in town, don't miss the terrific little town museum just up the street. It is worth an hour of your time for sure!"

"We were touring around and this was a great location, with the beaches of Nairn nearby and good connections to travel wider afield to Inverness and Loch Ness in one direction and Aviemore in the other. The facilities were what you'd expect and we enjoyed the bar and dining in the restaurant on both nights we stayed there - excellent food and service. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, with our many questions about places to go etc. It was also fascinating to learn about the link with Charlie Chaplin, and I would happily stay there again. "

"It was beautiful. There was a heat wave and a fan would have been nice but we all had a great time. "

"Great ensuite room, very clean and very quiet. The hotel is in the town centre so is very convenient for local amenities."

"An old building but everything was clean. The staff was"

"Excellent hotel…staff so friendly. I forgot a gold ring in the hotel room after check out and Yola from housekeeping was kind enough to help me find it. "

"Great hotel, free room service breakfast was appreciated."

"Lovely bit of highland grandeur/history. Mostly just passing through for a local event so didn’t get the full experience. Wee bit expensive for room alone but no complaints about the standards/staff etc bar/dining facilities looked very pleasant "
