The Best Premier Inn I've Stayed In

Reviewed By akaGaz

This has to be the best Premier Inn I've stayed in. Very clean, had a USB charging point (very useful these days), a quality walk-in shower (rather than one over a bath) which I much prefer and had a quality eating place attached. Both myself and a colleague were quickly booked into our separate rooms with table bookings taken for dinner and breakfast. The Brewers Fayre next door was busy, but the staff were courteous and our orders arrived quickly. The food was good quality. I had one of the best night's sleep for a long time. The self-service buffet was well stocked at all times, despite it being busy at our chosen time of 7:30am. 5 stars for the best premier Inn I've stayed at!

Finger buffet lunch - excellent standard

Reviewed By hilltopOxon

After a family event all gathered here for a private finger buffet lunch . The quality of everything provided was just excellent , everyone enjoyed it and I’d be hard put to recall such a high standard finger buffet with its home made high standard sandwiches , sausage rolls , mini quiches , confectionary and more . The service was discrete and helpful . I also had a lunch snack in the bar on a different occasion which was good although small quantity for the price. Overall a place to return to for food .

The Seafield Arms

Amazing place

Reviewed By 892alicer

One of my favourite places to visit. Todays special main meal of cod with king prawns was amazing. The South African chef, certainly puts a slightly spicy twist to a fish dish. I also was tempted with the delicious creme brûlée with Prosecco on side. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

Travelodge Elgin

Shiny, new and comfortable but….

Reviewed By GarryJW

This is a new build hotel with the normal corporate Travelodge facilities with the added bonus of a bar and cafe onsite. As always the biggest asset are the staff, who were friendly and extremely helpful. Being new, everything was clean and shiny. Beds were comfy. Shower was excellent, and unlike many new hotels, there is a bath, if that’s your preference. There was also plenty of parking. My only complaint is that it’s opposite a building site which started work at 7 in the morning on Saturday. The constant beeping of a vehicle reversing siren as it drove backwards and forwards was equivalent to the most annoying alarm clock ever! Whilst I realise there’s little the hotel can do to prevent this, I recommend you keep your windows shut to minimise the disturbance. Other than that this is a very good hotel and I recommend it,

A lovely old hotel retaining its original charm, with modern amenities.

Reviewed By Yvonne S

We stayed for one night, after a lovely trip around Scotland. We were greeted by Kelly, receptionist, waitress, bar tender and all round friendly, helpful and person. The hotel is stunning, lots of original features, homely, clean and spacious. Our room was lovely, spotlessly clean and fresh, beds were comfy and the shower was powerful. We had a delicious evening meal (served by Kelly) compliments to the Chef, absolutely amazing food. Then our freshly cooked breakfast this morning was delicious and served on hot plates. The hotel is situated on the main road, but is set back & is in a lovely and quiet setting, with a beautiful garden full of sweet smelling plants. We definitely recommend that you stay here in this amazing hotel, as we will be again, without a doubt.

Reviewed By jayne h

OMG what a hidden gem. The food was absolutely amazing with a truly Scottish menu to die for. Staff are Uber friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Before we were seated tonight our two pooches were provided with a dog bed, biscuits and fresh water, very impressive, so sad we found this gem of a place late in our holiday but we will be back. Well worth a visit
