Hotels in Forres

"This is obviously a budget hotel now. The house itself was once a very grand house and it has a fascinating history for sure. The views are good and our room was basic and clean, as well as warm. The bed in our room (56) had not been put together properly though, so there was a metal ridge down the centre that was raised up too high and should have been placed lower. Our main issue though was that we heard loud voices at around 4am. Men were walking around the corridors of the hotel and talking loudly, They did not sound like residents. The hotel gives travellers a key to their bedroom door but it seems that the main entrance to the hotel is open 24/7. There is a person looking after the hotel but he does not sit at the reception. So it seemed to us that people were able to come into the hotel during the night via the main entrance and wander around. This was for us a pretty unpleasant experience and we did not feel safe. The hotel needs to ensure that the main entrance is lockable and that people feel safe. "

"We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful historical house. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and they made it really special. I called a couple of days before arrival, and Mr. George took note of our anticipated celebration. We got a very nice upgrade. Upon arrival, Ms. Leena was wonderful. During our stay Mr. Scott, Mr. Jimmy and the rest of the staff treated us like royalty. But Mr. Scott in particular was awesome. Accommodation was excellent and the food and drinks superb. We will go back!"

"Mark and his team looked after us extremely well. "

"Rooms need a refresh"

"Friendly staff who did all they could to accommodate us."

"A slightly tired hotel in need of upgrading/modernising. Cannot fault the staff or amenities."

"Excellent location with wonderful view of Ocean and golf course love the restaurant and the open seating bar unfortunately our shower had a little dirt which spoiled the trip"

"Beautiful character hotel, plenty of parking and a steam railway next door. Check-in was friendly and very efficient, the room was clean and very comfortable, and dinner was excellent- really tasty and a good choice of dishes at a fair price- one issue; put the main course on a plate- the bowl makes it tricky to use a knife and adds nothing to the dish (on the plus side, at least it wasn't on a slate or an old breadboard!). Breakfast was individually cooked and tasty, but I should have liked more than the one and a half mushrooms- next time I'll ask for a couple more! Overall, this was as near a perfect stay as one could reasonably hope for; all the staff were friendly and efficient and my small observations are not meant to detract from my visit in any way. I am looking forward to going there again later this year."
