Stayed there for 5 nights as I was working in Elgin for the week. The owner was very nice and accommodating felt right at home. The room was lovely and very clean. Also had a lovely en-suit shower room which was also really nice and clean. Breakfest was really good and plenty choice. Loved the coffee must say. Also has good parking and is very close to the main shops in town. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking to stay in Elgin for a break or work purposes.

Travelled to Elgin to visit family and we chose West End Guest House due to the locality. On arrival we were met by Blair, who was really friendly and helpful. The guest house is immaculate, Ross did amazing poached eggs for me on both days, nothing was too much effort. We will most definitely be booking again when we visit the family at the end of the year.

Perfect choice for staying in Elgin: Nice and comfortable B&B with very kind and welcoming hosts close to the center of Elgin. Exceptional breakfast with plenty of options (of course including a yummy full Scottish) along with a lot of fresh fruits, cereals and much more. Parking on property. Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend this place enough. I had a wonderful stay here with my son and friend. They were personable and accommodating. It was better than a 5 star hotel. Immaculate, great food choice at breakfast, and beautiful bedding and bathroom facilities. If you ever go to Elgin you should go here. I'm so fussy and I really really loved my stay. Will definitely go back. Fair pricing too. Thank you guys.
