A special place indeed. Recommended.

From the moment of entry, the Mansion House disappoints. Stains on a carpet that has pealed up in the center to obstruct your luggage. Windows that won't close due to rot. Canopied beds, decayed and dropping detritus on your head as you sleep. A bath with a trickle of shower pressure, scalding hot with no cold water. No response to requests to address the water. No one to staff the front desk. The kitchen closed for dinner. Off site property manager no where to be found. A once proud grande damme with stone cheekbones rotting from within.

Very comfortable stay, would recommend

A friendly warm welcome on arrival, spacious bedroom.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Mansion House. It is within walking distance of all the sites in Elgin plus has very accessible parking. The surrounding walks and neighboring river made me feel like a character in a Jane Austin novel. Iona, Billy and all the staff made us feel like family. We even learned how to play snooker. Breakfast couldn’t have been better or more convenient. Will definitely try to return every time we go to Scotland!!!

Overall, it was a wonderful hotel and experience. Excellent shower !! Carpet was a little threadbare, but you have to give it a pass because of the age of the property. It’s a castle.!! Great breakfast. Would definitely stay there again.

In desperate need of bringing it up to date. You could breathe the dust mites in the common areas.

Great service at breakfast

Staff was very accommodating! I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Fabulous breakfast!

A very convenient and nice location. Staff was very helpful and the breakfast was good.

Classical property with lots of history. Excellent breakfast and service.

What an enchanted place to stay! It was absolutely perfect. We felt like kings and queens. The staff were super polite and helpful. They made us feel very welcomed. I cannot speak more highly of this place. It is a must for us whenever we get to return to the area.

In 2026 I’d have imagined that the supply of gluten free bread/toast and cereals would have been standard. On the second day they had ‘run out’ and could we try ‘something else’. You aren’t Coeliac by choice and when there is nothing else on offer it doesn’t really help. That said when we let them know that Tesco across the road was open they did send someone to get some. Only to be told on the 3rd day that they may have run out! The public areas of the hotel are tired but on the whole it wouldn’t put me off staying again but o would let them know that the GF stuff was more than a nice to have.

Nice place to stay. Bed was horrid but other than that...

The breakfast was lovely, the beds were comfy, the bathroom/tub great. Property could use some updates and a little life. Overall a good place to spend the night.

Fantastic hotel! We stayed there after attending the Gordon Castle Highland Games. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious with every amenity. We really enjoyed our breakfast! Highly recommend!!

Clean comfortable rooms. Fantastic full Scottish breakfast.
