The house was lovely as was the gardens. As we stayed 6 nights we were upgraded to the room with the 4 poster bed. Which was lovely. Te breakfast was freshly made every morning from local sourced producers. The hosts, Lee and Lyn were very friendly and welcoming. The only thing I could find fault with was the shower. The hot water took ages to come through and was not powerful enough. Otherwise a lovely place to stay.

The Pines - a critique

A quite exceptional property. Breakfast was nutritious, especially the porridge (always a good test of the standard of cuisine).Bedroom was pleasantly warm and the double bed comfortable. All in all, a credit to Elgin.

Lovely well equipped & homely B&B

We had a lovely two night stay at the pines. We appreciated the warm welcome & shown our room. It’s was lovely and well equipped. Also liked the option to order our breakfasts for each morning. Avoided waste. We were in room 3. Comfy king size bed with a Coffee machine & biscuits which were replenished each day. Breakfast were made to order, hot & delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the pines. Highly recommend it & hope to stay there again when we visit our friends in the area.

We stayed just one night, but wish we had time to stay longer. Check in was a breeze and the staff were lovely! They were super friendly and welcoming. We received a great recommendation for a dinner place from them. We also enjoyed the decor and the feel of the hotel. It is definitely unique and beautiful. Also, breakfast was FANTASTIC! We would love to stay here again.
