Nestled within its own grounds on the banks of the River Lossie, The Mansion House is a peaceful getaway just a few minutes’ walk from the historical center of Elgin.

The breakfast and staff were great. The bathroom was clean but only one towel. The bed was comfortable. See below.

Overall a good hotel. Pros: Carpark, amenities (coffee, tea, biscuits, shower/shampoo soaps/iron) comfortable bed and room/ good power plug placements, TV channels, front desk.
Cons: The electric kettle was dirty, may require a new replacement, didn't have the time to highlight it to the front desk. Additional portable heater could be offered during very cold days.
Others: Did not have the chance to try but the restaurant is very popular.

Breakfast was good. I had an egg, sausages, ham, beans, toast, cereal and fruit. I think I was the only guest, so it was very quiet. The proprietor gave me an en-suite room (I thought I had booked that, but she said I booked a shared bathroom room)

Not a great deal in Elgin, to be honest, but it's still well worth a visit just to see and go round the cathedral, particularly on a fine day! The city's also well placed to stay over as you explore the coast and surrounding countryside (including its many distilleries and castles). The hotel where we stayed had no dinner service, but there's a selection of restaurants in the town to choose from and the local 'Spoons is the same good value no matter where you are!

Town centre looking a bit tired like most other town centres but nice places to eat. Great base for travelling. Everywhere is within walking distance. Ate at Toscano Italian Restaurant which was excellent. Very reasonably priced but booking recommended at peak times

It's a good base for visiting lots of places in Moray and it has a few historical attractions itself, like the cathedral. It has a nice swimming pool, ice rink, park and places to walk. You can walk most places easily. The town centre has a lot of character but the actual shops are getting more sparse with each year. We enjoy the charity shops. There are some good cafes and restaurants too.

A hire car is vital, though I also travelled by bus.
A hire car is vital, though I also travelled by bus. The cathedral Is very interesting & I enjoyed the museum. Johnstons cashmere factory has lovely things & an excellent restaurant. Elgin was my mother's home town & I know it well but for many it will seem small & unimpressive ; it is however a useful base to explore the valley of the river Spey if you like the best whisky, or go to the sea at Lossiemouth or visit the lovely walled garden at Gordon Castle at Fochabers.

Elgin is a nice market town and like many Scottish towns, it has seen better days, but it is perfectly located for exploring the local area - notably the coast villages of Lossiemouth and Hopeman - both are charming.
It has a couple of nice pubs - Thunderton and Drouthy Cobbler, the latter being good for food, and a few excellent coffee shops - allowing you to avoid the chains. It's time will come again.
Luca and Anna always gave the very best of service, and this trip was no exception. Great location right across from the station and less than 10 minutes walk to the centre of town. A great base for turing the Whisky Trail on days out of Elgin; or visiting Gordonstoun. Car parking free. Rooms have everything you need. Of particular note are the breakfasts (full Scottish) prepared and served by our two lovely hosts. We hope the new owners will match the service level provided before. Very best wishes for the future to Luca, Anna and family.

The grounds and building itself are magnificent, and the proprietress Zofia keeps everything running smoothly. The beds were comfy and the room lushly appointed. Breakfast was wonderful (the poached eggs are delicious!).
The house is well situated for downtown Elgin’s restaurants, and close to the train station and bus stop if you want to explore further afield. Highly recommend for Scottish exploration!
Lovely old style hotel, with a warm cosy atmosphere. Spacious room with small but satisfactory en-suite bathroom. Good internet and a nice TV. Comfortable bar with excellent whisky selection. Very good breakfast served using a clever pre-order system which led to quick delivery of piping hot Scottish breakfast. Well done Laich Moray
Breakfast was really good. Isabel was a great host/owner. She went above and beyond to help us with recommendations and golf tee times. The neighborhood is cute and within walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. Came for a race in dufftown and the proximity to everything from Elgin was great
We had two rooms for a work event in Elgin. Highlight was the hosts providing us with our preference of oat milk for tea/coffee! Both rooms were very clean and bright which was nice. Bathroom facilities were great and overall no issues with our stay. We did not have breakfast during our stay.
Happy with the room, so spacious and had everything we needed. View was nice looking on to the carpark/Elgin/the hills in the distance. Had a quiet nights sleep & the overall cleanliness and decor of the hotel was great! Especially the restaurant for our evening meal, gorgeous food.
The property had everything you could need for a short or long stay. The hosts are very generous and friendly people. Perfect for a stay if visiting Speyside, Lossiemouth, Elgin, or just need time away from the city.
Good location, near centre of Elgin. Not far from train or coach station, plenty of car parking.
Good breakfast, generous size clean room, coffee and tea making facilities. Helpful host recommending restaurants.
