Overall Ratings & Reviews The Mill House Hotel

After escaping the dump that I the Eight Acres in Elgin we were lucky to find this lovely wee country hotel. Janette who booked us in couldn't do enough for us and I am so grateful. Food superb, room great and we had the bonus of the best bath ever!

I was so looking forward to this stay. It looked unique in the pictures. BUT. It was tired and needed some attention for sure. The shower had mold in it and there is no excuse for that. An easy fix to replace. Just not up to the expectations it looks like.

I did a last minute booking, and it was a good choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious. The bed was softer than I am used to, but I slept well. The shower took a couple of minutes to get hot, but once it did, it was nice. I had supper there, and it was very good, as was the made-to-order breakfast. There is a nice lounge area to sit and have a drink. Spey Beach was a short drive away, and was a nice “pebble” beach walk.

The food was delicious. The chef deserves much praise. However, the property appeared somewhat worn and could benefit from some care and attention in the common areas; the bar chairs look dated, and the carpets could be upgraded. The staff was wonderful.

Excellent stay staff very friendly and welcoming

Room was freezing. Slept with my clothes on. Staff were nice and friendly.

Good for an overnight stay. Very comfortable bed and cooked breakfast was great. The building was cold and it was difficult to get warm. Would have liked the hot water to be hotter.

Room Smelled so bad of damp heating didn't work great.

Great place to stay! Cute hotel ☺️

Nice rooms very comfy bed. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again

The service was great and food was amazing, but the condition of the room was very poor and dated, the bedside units were broken and the window was cracked.

Overall our stay was very good. The food was well prepared and delicious tasting. The staff where helpful and eager to fill requests and there was always someone available if you needed something. The rooms are well furnished and spacious but the facility is older. The carpet and walls in the common areas show their age. There are some endearing qualities to this hotel. We stayed four days and enjoyed a couple of nice dinners in the restaurant. We did have a car to explore Spey Bay and Elgin but note that there isn't much right around the actual hotel. The fact that this hotel used to be an operational grain mill does make it a place of interest for those who like places with character and history. You can still see some of the machinery and they have a comfortable bar to lounge in.

Couldn’t fault the staff, and the food was amazing, but the property definitely needs some money spent on it. Stained carpets, damaged wall coverings, ancient decor in the bathroom, missing shelves, damp on ceilings, etc. The other thing I need to mention is that the rooms are up 3 flights of stairs, the restaurant is upstairs too, and there is no lift. It’s a lovely old mill building but needs some care and attention.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was bright clean, fresh, well-appointed and comfortable. The evening meal was excellent, using local superb produce. The breakfast was enormous and delicious.

Lovely staff.... excellent breakfast

Excellent stay at The Mill House! Very comfortable and clean. The staff are lovely - very friendly, chatty and helpful. The food is amazing - top quality and the menu has a great choice of dishes. Definitely recommend a stay here.

The bar ran out of my draught beer on Friday evening, the kitchen ran out of my choice for dinner.We returned to the hotel at 9:45pm after a day’s touring and everything was closed on the Sunday.
