Golf View Hotel

Booked a wee 2 night stay with my husband to celebrate our anniversary, the room we wanted had no availability so looked through the rooms and picked another one that looked good. On arrival at hotel, reception staff work the bar too so it’s just your luck if someone is at reception or you have to go to bar and find someone. Got to our room (13) the smell was horrendous, didn’t look as if the bathroom and been cleaned properly, cups were stained, room was very dark and dingy due to a wall halving the room. There wasn’t any rooms available so had to make do with what we had, end of the day it was just a place to get our head down. However at night, walls are paper thin, could hear every noises from rooms either side and corridors, the door to the entrance to the annex’s slams and ignorant guest allowed this to happen. If you think your getting a lie in, think again the annex is so loud and from 7am all you could hear was loud talking, showers, doors banging. House keeping starts at 10, so if you’re there just to relax get up at your leisure forget it. Check out was a simple case of a cleaner by chance passing and taking the key from us, no how’s was your stay or small talk just thanks and away she went. This is the second time we’ve stayed at the hotel and I see issues haven’t improved from our first stay, when we travelled up to find out our room had been flooded and had been but in a tiny room instead. No phone call or anything. Won’t be giving them another chance

Some family were travelling from further south on the day of a funeral and when asked if they could book in early so they could change in time for the funeral the staff were very helpful.

My room had a lovely sea view and overlooked the golf course. below. The hotel is set on the side of a hill, so there is a drop down to the course and onto the seaside. It was rather fun to watch the people walking past as they played the game. The room was comfortable and very clean. It did have a little fridge which pleased me, as I prefer to have fresh milk than the little long-life containers supplied. But they are available, along with tea and coffee options. I did eat in the restaurant and there was a nice selection on the menu to choose from. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was convenient location for the coastal walks, plus a few local shops to choose something different to eat or a small grocery to purchase the milk and other items if needed. There is an on-site parking area but there is also a bus service within a very easy walk. Overall I would stay again if the opportunity occurred.

Lovely restaurant very friendly staff. Busy didn't have to wait for anything at all. I had nachos which wasn't to my taste smothered in sauce jalapenos far too many and salsa very hot!! Main course chips tasted like they were cooked in old oil.

Very Friendly staff, but the food OMG amazing some of the best food I’ve had for a long time. I stay away a lot for work, I had Nachos to start they were light and really tasty with mixed cheese melted on top. Then for a main I had the lasagna which is made in house from scratch the best lasagna I have ever had. The room I’m in is spacious with a sea view of the Moray. If your into this sort of thing the typhoons and Poseidon aircraft from RAF Lossiemouth fly right past with and unhindered view and if your lucky on a clear night you might get to see the aurora Borealis.

We booked for dinner and on arrival were told table11 had been reserved for us. When the lady in charge came to show us to our table she then said she had given our table away. She then turned to another member of staff and said “ it’s ok I’ll just put them through here”. Her attitude to us was appalling. She showed us to an area where most people were drinking. When I said I was unhappy with the table she said there was nothing she could - the restaurant was fully booked - despite us having booked. We walked out and will never go back. It’s sad when one person not doing their job can destroy a restaurant’s reputation.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Golf view Hotel , was greeted immediately with a friendly smile , upgraded from single to double room with fantastic view and sound of the sea, A quiet fridge with two complimentary bottles of water . Bed was very comfortable, lovely fresh and fluffy towels . I didn’t stay for the £13.95 breakfast, as I just take tea and toast in the morning, maybe they could offer a continental breakfast at £6.95 for guests like me . Overall fantastic stay and would recommend it highly

L'albergo si trova in un' ottima posizione, con vista sui campi da golf e sul mare. Tuttavia l'interno non risponde alle aspettative, in quanto la struttura appare datata, con evidenti segni di usura (macchie di umidità sul soffitto, intonaco scrostato, moquette lisa...). La camera assegnataci dava l' impressione di non essere stata sufficientemente pulita: moquette ed arredi sporchi, bagno con evidenti tracce degli ospiti precedenti, muffa nella doccia. Abbiamo informato la receptionist, che dopo un sopralluogo in cui confermava la situazione, si presentava disponibile ad offrirci delle opzioni, non essendoci altre camere disponibili (pulizia del bagno e l'indomani della stanza). Tuttavia abbiamo preferito cambiare struttura, ottenendo piena disponibilità per un rimborso totale, avvenuto nell' immediato.

The hotel was good and the staff were very good. The restaurant food was excellent. Massive selection of food, all freshly prepared. Prices were very reasonable in today’s climate. Great views to the sea and along the coast from my bedroom. Plenty free parking.
