Me and my son were at Elgin-Scotland in August 2022 and we stayed at the "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC " guesthouse. The proprietors Ross McDonald and Blair Robertson, are really very warm hearted and staying with them gave us a feeling of being at home away from home. Infact on the evening of our arrival there were some travel issues and we reached Elgin and the guesthouse pretty late at night. But, inspite of the delay, the way these two gentlemen greeted and welcomed us with their warm and endearing smile literally took away all that travel stress and has left a permenant positive image in our minds. The property is absolutely well maintained. The lovely garden with a variety of flowers is very soothening to the eyes and mind. For those travelling by their own vehicle, there is ample private parking space available on the back side of the property....so you can leave your vehicle there and enjoy stress free walks /tours in and around Elgin. The room was very clean, neat and tidy. Very cozy beds. We had a real good sleep. The table in the room was well stocked with tea, coffee, sugar etc ...which made the morning quite enjoyable...you know...sipping on a hot cuppa tea /coffee and taking in views through those large windows. The breakfast was fabulous. One can indulge in that absolutely Scottish breakfast or go for the other available options too. Whichever you choose...it is absolutely delecious. The fruits are very fresh and of high quality. Same goes for the meats, salmon etc. You can wash it down with ample amount of fruit juice (various options available) which one can pour from the decanters. What I must mention here without fail is the "Service with a broad smile " and a little chat with both of them that makes the breakfast really very enjoyable. This property is located at a short, walking distance from the Railway station, Main Bus station and the market place ...thus making it very convenient for ones travel plans. Before I end this review, I would like to say : "Dear Ross McDonald and Blair Robertson, me and my son shall never forget you, your warm smile and the lovely way you greeted and welcomed us at such a late hr on that first night of ours". Our best wishes will always be with you. Best regards, Girish and Saumit
