What's nearby

  • Much like their scotch, the new visitor center at the Macallan Estate is the perfect blend of new, old, and natural. I highly recommend the tour and tasting. #Culture photo contest

Booked this hotel for location close to hospital. Ideal and close enough to walk. Booked a small double room which was sufficient for our purpose. The bathroom was compact but had a good shower and constant hot water. The breakfast each day was excellent and when there weren’t many guests, it was cooked to order. Very fresh good quality food and sufficient choice. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Adam

Liked: Cleanliness
We're rather disappointed on arrival as the pool was closed as was the restaurant. But were able to walk into town and get meal. Breakfast was excellent and the room comfortable. Most importantly the staff were superb and very helpful. We had a fire alarm on the first night and they responded superbly. Calm and organised and so reassuring. Liaised with fire brigade and the police so that all was calm. The fire was a bin set alight with a cigarette stub. The hotel is about to close for renovations and should be good when done. Well sited and a good centre for the whole area with easy parking a good grounds.

No pool, no gym, no dinner service

Not so good overnight business stay. Booked primarily due to leisure facilities. Upon arrival they weren't available in over a year, but still been advertised on booking sites as a feature (plus over other hotels in the area). Rooms walls were paper thin, no dinner service in restaurant. Only breakfast. One plus, staff at reception was super friendly and helpful, was happy to change my room on request.

Very tired rooms, mattress was pretty bad, smallest TV I've had in a hotel. All draft lagers were off. (no gas!!) Wonder if they are struggling to survive. On the plus side, breakfast and staff were very good.

Never again, don’t be fooled by the pictures

Staff were excellent in the sense that they found me another room. Fact is that the place is dated, unfit for purpose and nothing like the images. Walls were so thin that I could hear every word of next doors conversation as if they were talking to me from the next room. It’s obviously been decorated but it’s the equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig. Never again

Exceeded Expectations.

We had a fantastic stay at Eight Acres Hotel and were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room had been recently refurbished, and it was fresh and comfortable with modern touches like faux leather headboards a mirror frame. There were plenty of sockets, which was really convenient for charging devices, although none had USB ports, so remember your plugs. We also enjoyed the tea, coffee, and hot chocolate facilities and especially the shortbread biscuits. The shower was powerful and hot, perfect for a refreshing start to the day. Breakfast was another highlight, with a delicious full Scottish breakfast featuring black pudding and tattie scone. There is currently no catering facilities, (or pool/gym/spa), at the hotel other than breakfast, but there’s a bus stop just outside the hotel and it took us 5 mins into the centre of Elgin. We didn’t want to drive as we wanted a drink with our meal. Overall, our experience was great. With good hospitality, comfortable rooms, and a decent breakfast.
