Food and Drink Options

The on-site Macintosh Restaurant serves up hearty Scottish fare, ideal for pre-show fuel or a post-concert bite. The hotel bar offers a cozy space to sip local whiskies or a nightcap. While 24-hour room service isn’t available, the restaurant and bar are perfect for evening dining, and the peaceful location means you can enjoy a slow breakfast the next morning without the rush.

Nightlife Options

While Lossiemouth isn’t known for a booming nightlife scene, you’ll find a few friendly pubs within walking distance. The hotel’s own bar makes a great place to start or end your evening, with a laid-back vibe and local drinks. Elgin, just a 15-minute drive away, offers more options if you're looking to keep the night going after the encore.

What People Say

Guests love the clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the beautiful sea views from the terrace. Many highlight the peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind after a high-energy show. The food gets strong marks too, especially the fresh local ingredients.

Areas for Improvement
