Best guesthouse I've stayed at, generally avoid to be honest. Lovely room, friendly welcome from all and a good breakfast. Situated close to town centre for meals at night. Already booked a further stay since leaving this morning.

Breakfast had home made sausages which were amazing. The whole breakfast was delicious. The owners were lovely. The location was great. The room was lovely and spacious. The shower room was a good size and so was the shower. Literally nothing wrong with our stay - it was fantastic! We really enjoyed our mini break in Elgin and if we returned to the town, we would stay there again.

Ideal location for the purpose of our visit. Very accommodating in being able to check in early & the full cooked breakfast was fantastic. Requested an extra night and was able to stay in our original room due to some re-allocation by our hosts which was also appreciated.

Southbank is a Georgian town house in the middle of Elgin and the Whiskey Trail. It is a few minutes' walk from the town center'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 whiskey.

Close by are the Glen Moray distillery, the Elgin Cathedral ruins and biblical gardens. Beautiful beaches are 10 minutes away where you may spot bottlenose dolphins or even a minki whale.

Southbank is close to museums, Johnstons Cashmere Center, and Baxters, where you can sample a local pancake.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

This property is also rated for the best value in Elgin! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

Southbank Guesthouse has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Jun 14, 2010

Friendly & Flexible regarding check out time for my specific 1 night stay. Breakfast was fab with possibly the tastiest Black Pudding I can remember having for years... if i handn't been so full i would have asked for more... Wish I had asked Isobel (?) where she had bought it... Fairly narrow access road/street, however good private car park in hotel grounds and surrounds.
