Didn’t spend a lot of time in hotel but lovely location and will def visit Findhorn again .
Pros:

Great location for an overnight stay during a tour of north of Scotland. Nice & friendly staff and nice cosy bar which was dog friendly.

Cons:

This was the most expensive hotel out of 4 we stayed in and not including breakfast. The room was ok but clearly needing some work done especially to the ceiling.

Character filled Inn, in one of my favourite towns in Scotland.
Pros:

Was comfortable, cute, clean. Good off street parking. Lovely meal. Close to everything - walking distance. Amazing staff.

Cons:

For me the walls were a little thin. Not much can be done about that. Otherwise perfect.

An excellent hotel with friendly staff, and good food.
Pros:

We had breakfast and dinner both nights, and both were really good. I have a daily allergy and the staff were more than happy to accommodate food to meet my needs. Only one downside is that there was no non-dairy spread to have with my toast for breakfast - some flora would easily have met that, and I heard another guest ask for this too, but hotel didn't have any! The staff upon checking in/out, and when at the bar/restaurant were all really helpful and friendly.

Cons:

I was in room 6. The room was clean, however, there was a large damp patch on the wall above the bed which let the room down a little. Also, there was no extractor fan in the tiny shower room which meant it got very steamy and there was some damp around the shower screen as a result of that. Also the room was advertised as a sea view - there was a window where you could see the sea, however, this view was obstructed by a tall chest of drawers in the way and you could only view the sea if you stood right at window. It was not able to be seen from the bed or the seating area which is a shame. A reorganisation of the furniture would be better. Also the pictures of the car park on the website made it look bigger and it was tight to get in some of the spaces when car park was busy!

Findhorn a lovely place but I consider the charge of £105 to be excessive for the standard delivered

Cons:

The room was awful. Hot water at sink intermittent, window only opened at bottom so draughty, beds too soft, only one bedside lamp

A very good location for an enjoyable stay, which we will deifinitely be repeating.
Pros:

We had both dinner and breakfast and they were both excellent. Dinner was in fact too much for us to finish, but we really enjoyed it. Breakfast, which in my case was the cooked breakfast, was a great start to the day. The room was comfortable, and the night was very quiet. We slept well. The staff on both days were very friendly and helpful. We have alrerady decided we will use this hotel again, for further exploration of the Moray coast.

Cons:

Nothing to do with the hotel, but that the nearby RAF Kinloss is no longer an operational Maritime Patrol base seems to me to be a crime against the defense of this country.
