My husband and I came home after a short break at Golf View today. What a lovely, friendly hotel. The service was great, the staff were so helpful and the food was fabulous we are already looking at booking to go again soon. The facilities are as described, our room was lovely though we did spy a four poster bedroom which we will try next time.
We stayed B&B and recommend eating in the conservatory, the set menu is ok but there is far more choice with the alternative menu, not overly expensive more worth every penny.

This hotel is fantastic but let down by the menu.

The staff are very freindly and helpful the rooms are great and the pool is fine.

BUT don't like the offering on the set menu they charge though the nose. We were on a DBB basis and I would have liked something for the alternative menu. They would have charged a supplement for a simple sirloin steak of £11.95 I had already effectively paid £30.00 for dinner based on a comparison with the B&B rate. THis is not accepable, they have to have the food on the "Bistro in the Restaurant" menu available for B&B guests or "walk-ins" anyway

We had always looked forward to a Short Break at the Golf View Hotel and managed to achieve this a few weeks ago. We were not disappointed.Everything about this Hotel was excellent.The Food,The Rooms,The Spa facilities,th SwimmingPool which looked over the Moray Firth,andthe Staff were first class. It was well worth the Long Drive. I rate this Hotel 10/10.

My partner and I had just got engaged and decided to celebrate by having a weekend away. Unfortunately our celebration was short-lived at the Golf View. Our room was a great size, however very cold and the windows are definitely needing upgraded as the noise of the wind kept us awake most of the night. We went down for dinner with approximately another 10 people in the restaurant and were told there were not enough menus for everyone so we had to share and we would be in a queue to get another one. This second menu never appeared as we watched other tables receive their second one from the queue!!! Ridiculous for any restaurant mind as well as supposed 4 star! We booked the hotel due to the seafood menu but were unfortunately told that there were no lobsters and there wouldn't be any all weekend, strange when the hotel is located right on the water! We then sat with our empty dinner plates for about 30 minutes each course whilst the waitress staff either chatted to each other or set-up for breakfast, extremely rude when we were eating dinner next to these tables. The food was lovely but the menu and service spoiled the evening for us. After this we decided that the hotel was not for us as we were suppose to be celebrating not becoming frustrated and annoyed by the quality of the hotel. We proceeded to reception to tell them we would be checking out early. The receptionist called the manager who tried to convince us to stay, offering us a nicer room the next night but we were fed up by this time. We went to swimming pool in the morning as we had a treatment from the spa in on our deal, this was lovely but the jacuzzi was out of action, so disappointing again. All in all we were glad to leave, but the disappointment continued as when leaving the receptionist told us that the manager had been hoping to speak to us but had to leave to go on holiday but would contact us to offer us a 2 night complimentary stay to show us how the hotel could be different from the experience we had had. We thought that this was a kind gesture and thought we would give the hotel and second chance. However, not surprisingly we have never heard from the manager. Just a token gesture that was never followed up. Spoiled our engagement celebration, but we will always remember, unfortunately not for good reasons!!
