A lovely old hotel retaining its original charm, with modern amenities.
Reviewed By Yvonne SWe 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.

Great food but strange booking regime
Reviewed By pburgess2016We rang to book a table for 7pm and wheee asked could we go at 6.45pm which was no problem. When we got there we where the only ones eating which was strange. We found out later that the landlord always does this when you book a table. VERY strange. The food was excellent but no atmosphere.

My 2nd Visit and as good as the first
Reviewed By PJ020664Cycling round the area, I decide to stay at Knockomie again, and wasn't disappointed. The team and the hotel were on top form, and made me feel very welcome. All the meals I had were great and a few Drams after dinner made me a little late one morning! Heading up to the coast just a stones throw away, the air is so clean and fresh its like drinking an ice cold glass of water, and with so many places to visit its a cycling nirvana. I had a puncture and needed to do some minor repairs and the owner had a high level bike stand he let me borrow. A great little inn, cant wait to go back.

actually made to feel quite uncomfortable
Reviewed By alanmV7784VII feel as though I should apologise because we obviously offended the waiter/manager greatly because I assume that's why he was so rude and unpleasant. So I'm sorry we drove a 7 hour round trip to try this restaurant on the recommendation of friends, I'm sorry I listened to them I'm sorry we paid £250 for b&b and a meal and were made to feel like unwelcome gate crashers, £750 total for table I'm sorry that I wasn't driving as I would have simply got up and left when it all kicked off, but as I'm not as rude as our 'friendly' waiter, I didn't want to ruin the others' night. I'm sorry we made the hotel feel that we were going to 'do a runner' as we were told more than once that we had to settle the entire bill before 'we left the table' that night. So it all kicked off when I asked if I could have a starter portion of the lentil daal on the mains menu. It's often served as a starter or a side dish so I thought it was worth asking. I had seen some social media of the Indian dishes and they looked good so wanted to try, but not as my main. The harrumphing and storming to the kitchen should have been my time to get up and leave, but I took my naughty schoolboy telling and stayed My wife then went 'crazy' and asked if they had any fresh chilli. Cue another strop. 'Modern Scottish cuisine reinvented', but don't ask for any spice up north! It was only a question and that shouldn't be a cue for downright rudeness. But the order complete, we expected some calmness. But it was the six year old who didn't get their present strop that followed, with every dish being hissed onto the table. So much so that we all ended up looking at the table in case we made eye contact with the serpent of service. This all came from the two questions, unless there was something else that we had done to mortally offend him. If so, again, I'm sorry It seems that the 'deal' of dinner bed & breakfast made them worry about us ripping them off with our orders. The daal was £4 more than the prawn cocktail, but my main was £9 less than the steak. So I wasn't trying to rip them off but lord was I made to feel as though I was. And the worst bit was, the daal was ok, but the prawn cocktail was better. And the steak at £27 was not great. The bar has 'a wide range of beers and whiskies to enjoy', just no where to drink them apart from your dining stool. So not really a hotel, more a restaurant with rooms. So I'm sorry that this has reinforced the reputation of Scotland being overpriced and unwelcoming. That was genuinely the most unpleasant dining experience I've had , the food being ok but the experience was horrible, really uncomfortable. But the following day, the Seafield Arms at Cullen restored some faith, with good food and FRIENDLY STAFF, amazing eh

Forres finest B&B
Reviewed By treasuresmumWe had the pleasure of staying at Knockomie Lodge for 3 nights. I contacted Catherine prior to arriving as I knew we would be late, unfortunately my sat-nav took me down a very quiet lane so I had to ring her saying I was close but not close enough so she directed me and stood outside the lodge waving to me! We had a wonderful warm welcome, our room was perfect as was the en-suite, we had a separate sitting room to use as we pleased, the room had everything you needed including a phone charge plug, soft fluffy flannels, hand soap.shower gel, shampoo & conditioner, tea tray with fresh cold milk,biscuits plenty of hanging space with hangers everything was perfect. Breakfast was served in the conservatory ~ there was everything you could wish for and more besides I think she has the biggest selection of Teas this side of China! The Lodge is spotlessly clean,rooms sublime,food fantastic and company first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending Knockomie to couples or singles, it is ideally situated within the Malt Whiskey trail, there are many other places to visit nearby. We have already warned Catherine that we'll be back!

RobinHill or is it Robbing Hill
Reviewed By 29hectorBefore arrival we were a bit dubious , as nothing was mentioned about breakfast , self check in etc until after the payment had been taken. The house is situated in a lovely part of Forres surrounded by lovely homes and gardens. The same can’t be said for Robbing Hill. Reading reviews I can not for the life of me think that anyone who had ever stayed there would write in glowing terms. The garden is a mess, milk cartons lying by the front door. Our room was a twin and very small. The bathroom was tiny and the door hit a bed when opened ,it was impossible to dry oneself in there. The beds had seen better days and my husband resorted to the floor. Breakfast was laid out for our arrival on a table outside our room! No chairs! Breakfast consisted of two bananas, four satsumas , two variety pack cereals and a very cheap pre packed bun. Would I stay here again- absolutely not. Would I recommend this establishment to anyone-absolutely not. RobinHill run I think by Benny Hill.

Big “thank you” to Elaine
Reviewed By 393grahamgHaving sold our house in England, arrived at Forres with no accommodation booked. Elaine at The Carlton Hotel booked us in and really went above and beyond to look after us. She is an amazing asset to the hotel and is typical of all the friendly people we have met at Forres. Would definitely stay here again.

Charming B&B in Forres
Reviewed By imbsjsDuring a Scotland tour in January we stayed at 6 Gordon Street for two nights. What a gem! Our hostess, Mrs Ruth Marland, went out of her way to make us feel at home. We had our own sitting room with television and the bed in the tastefully decorated bedroom (also has a TV) was one of the most comfortable ones I have ever slept in! Everything was immaculate. We had delicious breakfasts with freshly squeezed fruit juices, a variety of eggs, homemade breads, jams and everything you could wish for. Everything beatifully served. Mrs Marland, who is a cordon bleu cook, knows the area extremely well and gave us useful tips on what to see. We will definitely come back!
