Southbank is a Georgian town house in the middle of Elgin and the Whisky Trail. It is a few minutes' walk from the town centre's shops and restaurants.

The guest house is over 200 years old and located on a quiet road. It is popular with those keen on golf, fishing, or seeking castles and malt whisky.

I had a wonderful stay at South bank guest house for two nights. it has such a lovely atmosphere about it. The hosts, Malcom and Isobel were very welcoming and made me feel right at home. Breakfast was delicious. you can tell that the other guests enjoy their stay because they all seemed to be returning guests and I can see why! the room itself was spotlessly clean and was very cosy. Overall I’d give this property 10/10 and if I visit Elgin again, I’ll definitely be checking in! Thankyou for a lovely experience.

The property is around 34 km from Nairn Dunbar Golf Club, 34 km from Nairn Museum and 36 km from The Nairn Golf Club. The property is non-smoking and is located 24 km from Brodie Castle.

Lovely hosts, Cottage was well prepared with tea, coffee, milk, scones, and a couple of little bottles of wine. The cleanliness of the cottage was great. The space in the cottage is great as well, which is good as we came with 2 small dogs. We found the bed fantastic and probably the best we have slept in at a cottage. We went across to the owners Bar, Bramou Inn for food, which was also very good and well priced. Stayed for a couple of drinks as well and were made to feel very welcome by Marlyn, George, and the family. Will definitely be back here again.

    Both Oldmills Garden and Wendy are absolute gems. The property and room are spotless, both the room and Wendy are warm and welcoming and the location is perfect if you like natural surroundings off the beaten path. And one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept on! No breakfast suited me better, but there is tea, coffee, cereal and toast, so you'll not go hungry at the start of the day. It was one of the loveliest stays I've had anywhere. Will be back!
