What an amazing place to stay! What a gorgeous building! Jules and Lloyd sure know how to take care of you. Excellent service, charming room, (we stayed in Balchin's den, the dog-friendly room with our 2 Tibetan Temple dogs), and truly exquisite food. Lloyd knows his way about the kitchen and wowed us with his delicious desserts. If we're ever... More

As I planned to visit Lossiemouth, I looked for a good accomodation in the near, and Forres was perfect. But I was pleasantly surprised with my choice. The building itself is very nice and very well maintained. The rooms were very nice arranged and each of them different from the other. And then...the last pleasant surprise: the food was excellent,... More

We stay locally and are always looking for a new restaurant to try for special occasions, this time we've come up trumps! The food is exceptional, prices on the high side locally but when you compare a starter here at around £7-8 and find other local hotels charging £6 for significantly poorer quality food, it really is superb value for...

From the minute we arrived we felt at home here. Lloyd and Julia made us most welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The room was beautifully decorated and so peaceful. The hotel itself is stunning but the gems are Lloyd and Julia. The food which Lloyd produces is absolute heaven on a plate. I could wax lyrical for hours... More

This review is really just a question of adding another voice to all who have said how great this place is! It’s hard to say anything that hasn’t already been said by other happy guests, but we do want Lloyd and Julia to know how much we enjoyed their hospitality. Our room (the Queen Betty suite) was lovely, and the... More

Lovely family run hotel. Jules and Lloyd are great hosts who provide great service to guests. The room was spacious with nice original features. The gem in this hotel is the food. Lloyd is a talented chef. Taking great local produce and turning out what I would consider to be five star food. His passion for food comes through on... More

This is simply and quite possibly one of the best country hotels we have ever stayed in. The other reviews extolling Lloyd's culinary expertise say it all. Your meals are up there in the top 10 best we have had the pleasure of experiencing Lloyd, and coupled with your enthusiasm (floor show?) means we had a wonderful evening's dining. As... More

I had high expectations of our stay due to previous reviews on Trip Advisor and I was not disappointed. My partner and I travelled with my Mother, who is 84, and Lloyd and Julia, the owners, made us all so welcome that it will be a holiday hard to beat and indeed forget. We had chosen the Garden Room, now... More

A cosy and attractive stone built building full of character and charm this small family run hotel has one aim - pleasing their customers. We arrived fairly late in the evening and were met with a truly genuine welcome from the hosts and then the chef rolled off a long list of dishes that he was prepared to conjure up... More

My wife and I stayed three nights bed, breakfast, and dinner. Don't do it any other way. Not cheap, but a real bargain for the quality. It's a lovely little hotel in a historic building in one of the loveliest areas in Scotland. But the real attraction here is Lloyd's food. At breakfast, the eggs with Scottish salmon is the... More
