Eight Acres Hotel

Each of the hotel's newly redecorated rooms exude individual charm, with modern furnishings and en suite bathrooms throughout, while many boast scenic views over the grounds. Sizzling meals are cooked up at the on-site restaurant, with the locally sourced produce used where possible. Guests seeking a good workout or relaxing dip are indulged at the leisure club and spa where qualified therapists can be booked for soothing care ranging from massages to facials.



Groupon Recommends

The Deeside Inn lies in the Cairngorm Mountains, where natural beauty abounds in every direction. Explore this outstanding area and marvel at the Grampian Highlands which dominate the skyline. Those feeling brave can attempt the challenging trek to the majesty of Balmoral Castle or alternatively hop in a motor and be there in 10 minutes. If staying in the Eight Acres Hotel, ditch the history books in favour of engaging in some hands-on exploration at the grand medieval ruins of Elgin Cathedral. Once done, stroll to Elgin town centre to browse the restaurants, bars and shops. Alternatively you might wish to strap up your hiking boots and embark on a mission to the Highlands to explore its many lochs and forests.

Reviews

Eight Acres Hotel & Leisure Club and The Deeside Inn both receive a satisfying 3.5/5 rating on TripAdvisor. Visitors commend the helpful staff and the delicious dining in both restaurants. Some reviewers felt the facilities to be a bit dated.

Warm, cosy hotel with traditional Scottish decor, room we had was plain but had everything in it you could ever need, with everything working. En-suite was a bit on the small side, but again we were only there for 3 nights so not really an issue.

Meals in the restaurant were of a high quality and we didn't gave long to wait for things. Breakfast was lovely, the only criticism I would gave is that the toast was brought out before our breakfast order was taken so it was cold by the time our cooked breakfast arrived.
