Great little place to stay. Welcomed from arrival. Bar atmosphere good. Room perfect for what we were after. Somewhere to sleep, breakfast next day gave you the perfect start. Don’t go thinking the Ritz you’ll be left wondering. Go thinking a quant wee inn with lovely staff, wholesome food and a bed for the night.

I travelled from New York to Scotland alone. It was 20hrs before i arrived at the Garmouth Hotel. It looks plain on the outside but when you walk through their doors you are treated like royalty and family rolled into one. I slep like a log every day. The breakfasts are incredible and the dinners delicious. They have a cafe where they brew their own beans. The pastries are sublime. I will miss their warmth and friendliness and god be willing i will be back next year for more. Thank you jody. Grant and staff for making my stay so special.

We had a delightful stay at Garmouth Hotel. The room was comfortable and we slept very well. We had tea and delicious scones in the afternoon, and a hearty dinner and breakfast as well. Food was very well prepared. We were most impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the entire staff. We are Americans on a walking holiday and probably won't return to the Moray Coast soon;if we were Scots I would say we would definitely return often to this hotel.

Walking Moray Coastal Trail from Forres to Cullen. Didn't fancy doing 17 miles so broke our journey at Garmouth. We love walking and can cope with all sorts of weather but, as we're 70+, we also like our own rooms and a little bit of comfort. This we had in abundance at the Garmouth Hotel. Both of us had a large, spotlessly clean and comfortable room. Mine had a large bath as well as a shower - yes, my friend was envious! What a joy to find warm, welcoming and smiling owners and staff throughout the hotel. Our dinner and breakfast was excellent, again served with a smile. Even had some local info about the seals at Portessie from the lady vacuuming the hallway and yes, we did enjoy seeing them basking on the beach. Well done to all at the hotel - a first-class overnight stay.

We have used this hotel before when visiting family in the area so had no hesitation to use this lovely wee hotel again when visiting. The staff are so friendly and make you feel so welcome. The room was large, clean with the most comfortable bed and also with plenty tea & coffee for a quick cuppa before going to the restaurant for tea. There were 4 of us in our party for tea and we all had something different to eat but each one of us would like to send our compliments to the chef. Excellent food with a good choice and the sticky toffee is to die for. We used the public bar for a couple of drinks afterwards and were made so welcome. Breakfast again was plentiful with such a great choice served by the most lovely of staff. Would recommend this wee gem of a hotel to anyone who is in the near vicinity. It is only a few miles off the main road but is well worth the detour. Roll on our next visit

After a 19 mile bracing walk along the Moray Coast from Burghead we were warmly welcomed at the Garmouth Hotel. The real ale and fire in the bar were a delight at the end of the day!
We ate in the restaurant and the food was great. A combination of roast dinners, fish & chips and macaroni cheese.
The bedrooms were spotless, plenty of space, comfy beds ands plenty of hot water.
Lovely breakfast the following morning before setting off for our final day of walking to Cullen. The coffee roasted on-site was much appreciated!

I stayed 2 nights while on a local business trip. The room was really well equipped and clean, the food and beer were good quality and the staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. They catered for my special dietaryrequirements amazingly It was completely unpretentious but everything was good. It seems like the kind of place where all the effort goes into giving a really good and good value service, rather than into a glossy facade and high prices. It put a smile on my face. I don't usually bother leaving reviews but this place restored my faith in quality service at reasonable prices. Obviously, the local scenery and river spey and beach is amazing too!
