Top Dufftown Hotel Reviews
Ben Mhor Hotel
"Pleasant stay thank you."
Firth Hotel & Restaurant
"Helpful staff. Good was good and a great menu choice. The room was small but had everything you need. The location was great and the view of the beach was amazing."
Golf View Hotel
"We had a nice double room overlooking Moray Golf Club. The room doubled in size if you kept the bathroom door wide open, so we did."
The Royal Hotel
"Friendly efficient staff, nice restaurant with a good breakfast. Handy for both the train and bus stations. My only problem was the room I was in, although it had almost all that I needed, was a bit small."
The Station Hotel
"I was genuinely impressed by this hotel. We checked in later in the day, and our family suite exceeded expectations. It was perfect for our trip, with exceptionally comfortable beds, high-quality bedding, plush towels, and thoughtful amenities that rivaled what you would expect from a five-star city hotel. The bathroom was immaculate and appeared to have been recently renovated, while the furnishings and dรฉcor struck the perfect balance between refined comfort and the charm of a cozy Scottish country inn. The staff was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The restaurant was also a highlight, offering excellent food and a full bar in a relaxed and inviting setting. I would especially recommend taking advantage of breakfast and dinnerโthe quality of the food and the service were outstanding. Its proximity to the river and the surrounding scenery only add to its charmโthe setting looks as though it could have come straight out of A River Runs Through It. I highly recommend it and would gladly return in the future."
The Mansion House Hotel
"Our room was slightly unconventional, being more like a conservatory with a four poster bed in the middle. Many curtains to close! Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Would come back. There are some areas that need maintenance. Old furnishings are antique. One negative was that my son stayed in a camp bed in the room with a very thin mattress and wasnโt entirely comfortable. Other than that we had a nice stay."
The Grant Arms Hotel
"The property was very clean especially the bathroom. Our room was quite small but had everything you need. The staff were really friendly."
The Old Coach House Hotel
"Clean room, comfortable bed good parking, staff were very helpful and friendly, close to shops and amenities"
The Mill House Hotel
"Fantastic stay and delicious meal in the restaurant"
