Golf View Hotel

Seafront hotel in Lossiemouth

Promising comfy rooms, sea view dining and an atmospheric lounge bar, the family-run Golf View Hotel is a very peaceful escape. Situated on the seafront at Lossiemouth, you can also enjoy gorgeous ocean sunsets, romantic ruins and scenic golfing at Moray Golf Club, right next door to the hotel.

Locally sourced cuisine

The hotel’s Macintosh Restaurant offers the chance to sample home-style cuisine crafted from local ingredients, all while enjoying a view of the waves crashing onto the beach.

The menu includes a selection of signature dishes, classics, burgers and grill steaks. Choices can change seasonally, but sample mains include oven-baked Caprese salmon on a bed of mozzarella, tomato and basil; Mexican cottage pie with beef mince chilli and cheesy mash, and 80z sirloin steak with a choice of sauce.

Veggie options could include the blue cheese mushroom and leek gnocchi or the halloumi and falafel burger.

Lovely Lossiemouth and magical Moray

As well as being around an hour’s drive from Inverness, there are plenty of attractions around Lossiemouth and the rest of Moray as well.

Why not try to spot leaping dolphins at the Moray Firth? Or explore the remains of the 14th century Spynie Palace? For atmospheric Gregorian chanting, head to Pluscadden Abbey where Benedictine monks sing by candlelight or to sample a dram, stop by Benromach Distillery.

Moray Motor Museum, Brodie Castle and the Medieval Sueno’s Stone are all worth a visit as well, as is the tranquil Findhorn Bay, which looks lovely at sunset.
