2023 Update: The 8 Acres hotel, and its leisure facilities, is closed until further notice. They have contracted with the UK Government to provide accommodation for asylum seekers. See other Elgin hotels.
For many years it was owned by Crerar Hotel Group until early 2020 when it was bought by Thailand-based Lake Merritt Group. It is operated by Perth based 7 Hospitality Management.
The 8 Acres is the only hotel in Elgin with a leisure club which offers a 15m heated indoor swimming pool, a poolside jacuzzi spa bath, sauna and gym with resistance machines and free weights.
The onsite Darroch Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to residents and non-residents and there is an all day Sunday carvery. The bar is open until 11pm.
The hotel offers free wifi, though reception in some rooms is not great. If it’s important to you, then mention it when you book.
Elgin city centre is a 27 minute walk and the train station 32 minutes – both are only a few minutes by private car or taxi. There is ample free parking available at the hotel.
