Zofia made us very welcome, I had stayed there before and it was good to be back. Ideally situated in Elgin, clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. I would thoroughly recommend and I look forward to staying there again.

Zofia's B&B in Elgin is a handily close to the centre place to stay with immaculate rooms and a great breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything I needed. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area and need somewhere to stay.

There is a very good Turkish restaurant (Ada) in Elgin that I can also highly recommend which is about a 5-10 minute walk away from the property.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th September 2022:

Zofia was an absolute gem, very friendly, very helpful. Room was large, bed very comfy. Breakfast was great. Lovely house, peaceful and quiet.

Great location, 5 min walk to shops, restaurants and bars. If arriving in a Sunday, check beforehand the opening hours of restaurants, some are closed in a Sunday.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2022:

I would recommend Zofia’s BnB without hesitation. The Victorian house has been renovated with an artist’s attention to style, taste and detail. Our room was large and comfortable with a grand bathroom attached that had a beautiful bathtub for soaking. While the location is a few blocks from the center of town and close to restaurants, coffee shops and shopping it is blissfully quiet at night. Beyond all that, Zofia is a most gracious host and we were well taken care of during our time with her. If you have a problem she likely has a solution.

Ada Turkish Restauant - lamb shoulder, melt in your mouth delicious… Planta Cafe and Eatery (Authentic Neapolitan Pizza) - great coffee, pizza and fresh green salad…. The Qismat Tandoori- sophisticated venue, owner very nice man, professional staff, good food. Big tip- ask for chai (is not listed on the menu but is available - best we have had in Scotland.

Would Recommend: Yes

Felt incredibly looked after during my time, lots of great recommendations for places to eat and drink in the local area as well as a lovely room/place to stay

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2022:

This is a very comfortable guest house. I stayed over while on a business trip and found a warm welcome, very comfortable bedroom, and breakfast was fresh and well presented. Hard to find a better option, and it is good to spend the money with a local business, helping to keep the local economy alive.

The owner was very helpful to recommend restaurants for an evening meal. I had a meal in the Drouthy Cobbler. Good pub and good food.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th August 2022:

15th August 2022:

The host provides an impeccably clean and comfortable room, a more-than-ample breakfast, and cheerful, warm conversation. It's a lovely place to stay in Elgin. The B&B is in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of most everything one would want.

Moraybank is within walking distance of the bus station (busses traverse the length of the Moray Coast regularly), town center with its shops and restaurants, Elgin Cathedral, and more in Elgin.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th August 2022:

Zofia is a wonderful host, and the room was excellent. Short walk to town centre and parking was fine for our car. Only issue is if you need WiFi it is extremely weak in room1.

Do not change anything ... even the pure scottish tissue inventory in the stairs. And stay as you are Sofia ! I let a comment on Google maps with a nice photo from my room. Thanks for all

Drouthie Clobber and Toscana are fine. First go to Duffus Castle, nice place. Then go to Portknockie to see Bow Fiddle Rock. Findochty harbour and take a beer in Admirals Inn. If more time, discover Crovie Village (view & village)

A beautiful old house that has been renovated and decorated to a very high standard. We had a very large room overlooking the lovely gardens, with all the facilities to be expected of a superior guest house. The host was friendly, helpful and very accommodating and provided us with a delicious breakfast in the beautiful dining room.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd March 2022:

I stayed two nights and have to say this was perhaps the most comfortable B&B ive stayed in. Close to the town centre yet no traffic noise. A lovely garden to sit in if you wanted and a comfortable armchair in the bedroom. Couldn't fault the breakfast, with sensible portions. Highly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st March 2022:

Fantastic guest house. Ideally located for the town and railway station.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th March 2022:

Simply delightful! The pictures I shared with friends back in Australia asked if I was staying in a Castle! The fine, old style decoration, Scottish tartan theme and old style grand dining room and lovely designed trees in the back garden. Really a taste of Scotland! and the host was lovely. Real chatty and so helpful. Couldn't do enough to help. The place was absolutely spotless! No fridge in room, but I'm new to b +b's so maybe this is normal. Quite sure if I asked, Sofia would have let me use the fridge in dining room. For me it was the perfect, relaxing holiday getaway from the rush of real life. Thanks for a lovely stay.

I went further to Inverness. Urquhart Castle, a beautiful waterfall with a nice walk and a drive all round the loch with a meal at the side of the loch.

Moraybank is a really lovely house, very homely and clean with a really good atmosphere. Zophia, the lady who runs it is so wonderful and will do everything she can to make your stay memorable. The breakfast is superb (would really recommend the "full English") The rooms are spotless and the beds really comfortable. Will definitely be going back!!

There are very good restaurants nearby and the town of Elgin has lots of good shops. Elgin is quite central to many places of interest. Loch Ness is only 1 hours drive away and well worth the trip. A trip to the Cairngorms is only about one and a half hours away and the scenery is absolutely stunning.

Zofia is a wonderful host, very friendly and very welcoming. We had a beautiful clean room( number 2) in a stunning house, a fantastic shower and comfiest bed on our trip round the north of Scotland. I would only want to stay here again if I’m back in Elgin.The cooked breakfast was fab too. Thx Zofia for a lovely stay, loved it.

Zofia recommended a pub on the high street but we ended up in an Italian restaurant named Scribbles, busy but inexpensive and great food. We went to Elgin Cathedral( ruin ) but were a bit shocked at the price £9 per adult so didn’t bother, maybe cause I’m a tight fifer🤣 the high street area is quite nice and had a coffee in a nice cafe called Planta.

Moraybank is a bed and breakfast place I have stayed at many times. We are always assured of a warm welcome . Zofia’s bedrooms Are very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Moraybank’s situation in Elgin is ideally placed for so many places to visit. The dining room is beautifully furnished and the breakfasts are scrummy..

Elgin is a lovely place to.be based. An interesting coastline to explore, as well as the delights of Speyside With its distilleries And wonderful walks.
