Location: This 120 year old lodge was the original club house for the Old Moray championship golf links. Lossiemouth's newest addition to the quality B&B establishments in this picturesque original fishing town with it's two harbours and RAF base carries a prestigious 4-star Scottish Tourist Board award. Overlooking the 18th green of the Old Moray course, west beach and Moray Firth to the hills of Sutherland beyond, this is the perfect location for holiday or business. Ask about our 'sister' property (next door) a six bed Apartment'. Lossiemouth is the birthplace of Britain's first Labour Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald. An area rich in wildlife, golf courses, forest and coastal walks The town and west beach are watched over by the Stevenson-designed Covesea Lighthouse. Very close to the Malt Whisky and Castle Trails. Just 6 miles from the main town and cathedral city of Elgin. The county of Moray is home to a number of world-renowned quality brands including Baxters (soups and jams), Walkers (shortbread), Johnstons (cashmere & woollen mills) and among a host of other top names in the whisky world, Macallan. The Spey Valley boasts the highest concentration of distilleries in the UK. Quick and easy access to the countrys' fastest flowing river, the Spey, famous for fly fishing. Golfers will appreciate the challenges of Lossiemouth's two courses - the championship Old Course , designed by Old Tom Morris and established in 1889, has a par 71 and SSS 73. The 'New' course opened in 1979 and was created by expanding an original 9-holes into 18 (incorporating some of Henry Cottons design following his visit here in the early 1970's). It carries a par 69 and SSS 69 and although laid out on the same terrain as the Old Course is a different challenge featuring fewer bunkers but smaller greens. We have storage and drying facilities for clubs etc and transport is not necessary for those playing at Lossie as we overlook the 18th green of Moray Old. |
