We had a great stay at The Pines Guesthouse. The hosts Lynn and Les were wonderful and very accommodating. The house is beautiful and our room was very comfortable, spacious and clean. The location is very good and although it is on a main road, it is very quiet in the house. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

Had such a wonderful stay. Hosts were lovely. The building and rooms were amazing. I don’t think the photos do it justice. Breakfast cooked to order was one of the best I’ve had. Much nicer than staying in a generic hotel and at a similar price. It really is the place to stay if you’re in Elgin.
