Skerry Brae Hotel in Moray

The time we were there for drinks was so good, the staff are lovely so welcoming and there is always someone there if you need anything, I will definitely be back

This was our first visit since the Skerry Brae since it changed its name to the Golf View. Nothing much has changed. A good range of dining options in the menu plus specials. Prices were on par with other Lossiemouth restaurants. Finally the view from the dining area was breathtaking with views of the golf course and the Moray Firth. Service was quick and friendly and our meals were most enjoyable. All covid regulations were strictly observed. Recommended

4 of us went for a few drinks on the balcony and received great service. It was a little chilly but a great selection of gins on offer.

Visited as a family of 4 over weekend for dinner - good choice in the current limited menu climate and every meal was enjoyable with a great view from the table over the West beach during sunset

Been coming to the 'Skerry' now the Golf View for years if not decades. The newly refurbished conservatory is good and the views are obviously great especially midweek when the Typhoons are flying in and out of Lossie. Service was attentive and friendly. But I'm sorry the prices are ridiculous! £12.50 for scampi and chips was about 6 scampi and literally a dozen overcooked chips. Sadly I'm not wasting time going back for a while until I hear things have got better.

Amazing from start to finish. The young waiter was very polite and nothing was a problem. The mains were great, freshly cooked and large portions. Everything was spot on. Would highly recommend.

Was the Skerrybrae, now the Golf view. My friend and I had dinner here before going elsewhere. I had the beer battered haddock. Delicious. This whale of a battered fish came out, light, fluffy, really yummy. My friend had the chicken goujons, not so great. A couple of them were a bit pink and the batter was soggy. The meals came with salad and chips, we both declined the salad as the meals were large portions. For me, I would say 10/10, my friend, more like a 7/10, especially as there was no offer of a discount, even comp the drinks. I would go back, just not have chicken.

Now the Golf View. Just had lovely meal tonight great food and service in a friendly atmosphere with stunning views. Looking forward to a return visit soon

Have eaten there before years ago, the staff were very good and attentive, the food was fine, not great however certainly not bad. For me it was the setting and decor and layout seemed just poor

On arrival was made welcome and seated, food was ok but service wasn’t the best. We ran out of drinks mid-meal and weren’t offered more. After plates being swept away in a hurry we weren’t offered any more drinks or puddings!! So we clearly got the message to leave without anything else.. leaving very thirsty and not very amused!!!

I will start this by saying we do enjoy good food but don’t consider ourselves food snobs. Well maybe a little bit. Having recently changed its name to the Golf View Hotel and having a bit of a refurb, we were looking forward to a nice meal at around 5 pm on a Sunday. It really wasn’t much good. I ordered the pie expecting an up market version of the traditional scotch mutton pie as pictured. When it came I was disappointed with the puff pastry topped stew. My partner ordered the seafood linguini which arrived over cooked and with the pasta broken in to 3 inch pieces. When I mentioned my disappointment in the pie to our waitress the reply was “Yes they need to change that. A lot of people say that” Not really an adequate response in my opinion. The view over the firth was far and away the star of the evening.

Restaurant was being refurbished so understandably chaotic. What I was surprised about was the high cost of very mediocre microwaveable meals! The cheese board was 3 tiny bits of cheese, with 3 biscuits! I won’t be returning, even for the view!

Great location and staff, but food was bad. I ordered venison and it was terrible. No sure if repeat my visit because of the food.

Love this place for a meal it is absolutely brilliant we have visited on at least eight different times and the food and service is always first class. The view out over the golf course is absolutely beautiful. Will be back next time we are up.

Enjoyed a lovely family meal here after a long walk on the beach! Lots of choice on the menu and specials available, there seemed to be a 3 course option as well for a better deal. We were originally going to be seated down at the bottom with no view but on asking as we noticed another party were leaving, a waitress kindly set us up a new table so we could have a seat with a view. Barman who I think might have been the landlord was also every so friendly and made us feel very welcome! Portions were very good and and vegetarian options available which was a must! The blue cheese on the veggie burger was delicious! Huge pieces of fish too! We also enjoyed use of the pool table! Would love to come again!

We had a lovely meal here,good selection of meals, specials on a board. Good beer,had the Belhaven bitter and a White Blonde,a hoppy beer,locally brewed. Staff friendly. Good views over sea. Parking on road but room to. Been couple years ago,didn't disappoint. Has a outside terrace if nice but mind the golf balls from local course,ha,ha!.

We were looking for a dog friendly bar in which to enjoy a few drinks. The staff were very warm and welcoming, especially the man who we guessed to be the owner.

Ordered fish and chips and it was really greasy, was a bit disappointed about that. The waiting stuff were very lovely, we sat outside and had a nice view. It was really sunny and unfortunately the waitress's leggings were very see through. Maybe not an appropriate uniform.

Took us in at 11pm due to failing hotel up the road. Staff excellent, food good and local ales on offer.

7 of us dining a nice menu with lots to choose from. We all chose and it arrived all meal were delicious.

Went with family for lunch. The food was very good and reasonably priced. First impressions on walking in are not brilliant as feels like everyone staring at you. The staff are friendly and the views over the golf course are stunning.

The barmaid was very friendly and attentive.

My husband and I have stayed at this hotel many times. Ian, Rosie and all there staff always make us feel so welcome and make our stay so enjoyable. Food is very very good and the room we request is very comfortable with lovely view of golf course and looking over the Moray Firth

The food is good and the service fast.It is great value for money and the portions a quite large but they do offer smaller portions. This is of course reflected in the price you pay. It is about £3.00 cheaper for the smaller meal.

We visited here at teatime on Friday, it was very quiet but plenty friendly staff around to serve, We only purchased drinks from the bar but the waitress was very nice and gave us information about the area. The views from the restaurant and great, you are able to see the golf course and over to the lighthouse.

Spectacular views, good Bar style menu, comfortable surroundings, pleasant/efficient staff, a well stocked bar ----- and the rain stayed away. Enjoyed the Beef Yorkie, with side orders of garlic mushrooms and garlic bread, and a nicely chilled glass of pinot grigio. Will be back soon.

Great food, service was very friendly, food was well presented, hot and good value for money. Great selection for all the family.

Menu was typical pub grub but a tad on the pricey side for what we chose. We opted for the grill chicken and steak. Asked for well done and it was charcoaled and the chicken was better. Also got the scampi and chips which was a better portion. Bar was really busy so compliments to the staff for coping. View was to die for and they have a massive outdoor area. Would recommend and would return.

Popped in for lunch with the family. Great value for money and huge portion sizes. Great freshly made menu. The views are amazing and the staff super friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Good menu, reasonable prices, friendly staff & efficient service. Breaded whole tail scampi, chips & garden peas was very nice. Free wi-fi, would return.

Order at the bar and receive good food, modestly priced with generous portions. The views across the Moray Firth are brilliant, as is the warm welcome you receive.

We stopped in to the Skerry Brae hotel for a late afternoon meal. We were not dissappointed. The food was very good, especially the roast beef which just melted in your mouth. The hosts were very friendly and we were made most welocme. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and the views were amazing out over the Moray coastline and the golf course right in front of you. The hotel also serves local ales from the Lossiemouth brewery. Pefect spot for lunch or just a drink.

Great food, friendly service, and fabulous views. Typical pub food menu, but the food is excellent quality. My mum loved that she could order a "pensioner portion" so she wasn't put off by a big plate of food. Plenty of choice, I'd recommend the scampi- tasty and plentiful. Very busy restaurant- at 6pm we were lucky to get a table, so I'd advise booking if you can.

I haven't been to The Skerry Brae for a while and thought it would be good to try it when my parents were up visiting. It is a nice place to go, the weather was nice and you get lovely views over the Golf Course and out to sea. The menu is straight forward with the usual pub meals available, including the fish dishes you would expect. I am a Coeliac and they have a separate menu for GF that you can look at. You order and pay at the bar and our food arrived fairly promptly. The platefuls are large and filling and my parents and wife enjoyed the salmon. I had the steak and they were able to provide a GF sauce with it. We ordered puddings and for myself there was only the ice cream, which I ordered, a slight oversight was that it came with a wafer in it, this was probably through habit as I did say to the waiter taking my order that I was GF, I mention this for the hyper sensitive Coeliacs, as I am able to take the wafer out and eat the ice cream. Overall a nice meal

booked for a night out and i was really dissapointed it had the potential to be great the restraunt has amazing veiws but the food was poor.it was hot and fresh but the steak was thin and over cooked id ordered medium, but the most dissapointing thing was upon finishing out meal we were told we could not have dessert as the kitchen had closed it was 8.45 and we had just paid a £110 bill.the service was straight out of 1990 and frankly disapointing. unfortunately places like this will alway be busy because they do an oap menu.

Very welcoming. Warm pub feel with a fantastic view. Quick, friendly service! Good food - hot and alot! Will be returning soon!

We ate in the restaurant and each meal was fresh, hot and well presented. The staff are friendly and knowlegable.

Took family here for dinner while hey visited as recalled the great food and stunning views. Sadly we were met with a few tables on a Saturday evening, very bland refit since previous visits, reminded of a plain Weatherspoons in style

been here a few times now and the food has always been great, staff are very polite and helpful too!! reasonably priced meals and a family friendly atmosphere, they also allow dogs in some areas which is quite unusual, but handy if you have one!!

In the decade I've lived on the Moray Coast the Skerry Brae has been one of my favourite eateries. Perched above the golf course looking over the Moray Firth to Easter Ross its location is stunning, and a very comfortable place to eat or relax with a drink.

Had dinner here whilst staying at the hotel. Ate in the bar as the conservatory was busy. Nice comfortable seats and surroundings. Reasonably priced food. Large portions - no complaints.

Went to the Skerry Brae for an early Sunday evening meal with family.

Good sized portions and all freshly cooked! The beer battered fresh haddock was amazing! Sea views. Dogs welcomed in the bar area, but for those who don't want dogs, the Conservatory is a 'dog free' zone

I love the skerry brae and was gutted when it shut down for a while. I'm glad it's reopened.

Had the sirloin steak, which was perfectly cooked, but sadly half of it was fat & gristle. Nice chips & veg ok. I know I put 'average', but just didn't feel I could stretch to 'very good'.

Good bog standard food, but music far too loud. Chips with everything. Menu - a bit tired. No specials.

Visited on Friday 10th January as a new resident of Lossie. Staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Food arrived quickly and we were impressed by the quality. Starters of breaded brie and battered chicken were both crispy and tasty; perhaps one more brie bite would have been nice, but the quantity of chicken was generous. We had venison casserole and ham & leek pie for mains. Both were thoroughly enjoyed, the only gripe being that the casserole had 3 pieces that were a bit gristly, otherwise I'd give it 5/5 for a good combo of quality and price.

Nice selection of food. Fairly priced and friendly staff. Would recommend going for a meal. Absolutely stunning views of the sea. Some areas could be doing with a bit of a makeover but in the whole a decent place to eat.

We dined on Saturday 7th September and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Although empty upon arrival we secured a window table. You order and pay at the bar and collect your cutlery but your plates are cleared promptly after finishing and during our starter and main we were asked if everything was okay-which it was.

Went for a Sunday lunch and felt I had gone back in time . When entering about 1 pm was ignored by the Chef , waiter and barmaid who were chatting at the bar . Had to ask if we just take a seat or where to sit , obviously neither attended any hospitality courses as manners throughout were in short supply . Went and got a table which was of plenty choice as only one other lot of guests were there . Menus were a basic plastic wrapped A4 sheet of paper which looked very crammed . To be fair the choices looked good . Ordered a smoke haddock chowder and a stuffed mushrooms on a rocket salad . Now the mushrooms were nice but the rocket salad did not exist as there was no rocket ! . The soup lacked taste and only tasted of the cream , also my pet hate is lazy chefs that make there soups with baby boil potatoes . Both mains were well presented but again lacked taste . No one ever came at any point and asked if our meal was okay . The hotel works an order and pay at the bar with your table number . Felt it would have been nicer if they worked a waiter / waitress service and might even encourage some customers as they were in short supply . We stood up and left without a thanks or goodbye and do not think I will be returning in a hurry

One of the best hotels in the highlands. I work my way around the country every month and I have to say the skerry Brea is the best hotel not only in Lossiemouth but maybe even the north of Scotland. Very friendly and nothing to much bother .

Rosie & Jim (Ian) fantastic hosts, who install a friendly environment within the hotel, bar and their staff. Nothing was too much trouble, Rosie even at short notice, moved us to Room 5 fantastic views not too be missed! Our luggage was moved and as we were staying for 2 nights Sat/Sun, moved the table in the bar to accommodate me watching wimbledon, having my lunch at the table. Meals are great and good value! Breakfast was excellent, back on Slimming World Plan so smoked haddock and poached eggs for me, brilliant views from the dining room of the die hard golfers. I would most certainly recommend this hotel in Lossiemouth, easy walking distance to the beach, the village, everything you need, nothing too much trouble. Rosie even took photos of Thelma and myself for the Summer Ball. The staff are a credit to Rosie and Ian! Best of luck for the future, and I wll most certainly be back to the Skerry Braein the very near future. Kind Regards Kath and Thelma x

Went out for a meal for our friends birthday last Friday 15th February 2013 (evening) There were four of us, I can honestly say the food was awful! One of us had steak, it was cooked on one side and not the other and it tasted awful, One of us had a burger and wasn't cooked in the middle, sent it back to be recooked to be told that the chef said it was an angus burger and could be eaten like that...well would have been nice to be asked! One of the meals was just about ok to eat and the gammon gave the birthday boy the runs the rest of the night. Was the most disgusting meal we have all eaten! Will never go back. We think the reason it was rushed was that the chef was going out after cooking and couldn't wait to get the food out quick enough! The service was terrible too. Avoid if you don't want to be ill after eating!

Took the family for a meal and the food and service were terrible. Overpriced microwave rubbish to put it politely. Stay away.

My family and i recently purchased a caravan on a near by site and decided to try out the local eateries. We were very impressed with the food and staff. The owners went out of their way to greet us and make us feel welcome. We had a tasty, wholesome meal, at a very reasonable price. The service was second to none and we were made to feel very at home. My son (aged 3) was given colouring pencils and paper and was told to feel free to explore his surroundings, which made me feel at ease. Thank you again for a lovely meal, we will be back to see you very soon.

set in the coastal village of Lossiemouth, the Skerry Bear has good pub food, a great location & friendly staff.....good beer too!

This was our 3rd visit to Lossiemouth,and we were delighted to find that the skerry had re-opened after being closed the previous year.

Having arrived late, I was lead to my room (11) in the annex by the friendly & courteous young lady to what I can only describe as my cell; It was colder in the room than outside. I did raise this issue with the staff but they were unable to provide a solution. The room was basic & poorly furnished, towels were dirty & the beds have a plastic under sheet. The breakfast was mediocre but plentiful although the sea view was fantastic. I was originally booked in for 2 nights but checked out after the first morning

Went to the Kerry brae after a re-fit it,s opened the restaurant into wide open airy space with nice furnishings an excellent choice for all the family with a very nice view over the bay great food helpfull staff

I spent the August bank holiday weekend in Lossiemouth and had a lovely evening in the bar/restaurant at Skerry Brae which is located on the west beach side of Lossiemouth . The outside terrace and the bar area (which is light and airy with big windows) are both great spots to have a drink whilst watching the evening sunset across the bay. The view is just fabulous with the ocean, the lighthouse and of course the odd golfer or two to watch teeing off on the last few holes on the moray golf course. There is a good pub style menu and a daily specials board, all reasonably priced, and the food was of a good standard. The staff were really friendly and there was a nice ambience in the bar and restaurant which was nicely full with a mix of local couples and families, people on vacation and those staying in the hotel. I would definitely visit again when next in the area.

The fish & chips were soaked in fat. The chilli was just mince in water with a sprinkle of chilli powder, disgusting.

Just spent two days here on a b and b basis. Had a nice single room with a fab view of the sea, it was lovely. Breakfast was great, a big fry up, way to much for me , but good grub. Staff were very nice and helpful , managing to squeeze me in for an extra night. Would visit here and stay again.

Was here with the family last week, not been for a few years. New owners I believe so things seem fresh, food still similar, reasonably priced & presented.

Went years ago amazing, not so impressed now :( needs tlc

Decided to head off for the weekend for an unusual aniversary.

Cracking views over the Moray Firth, must bring my banoculars next time to see if I can see any dolphins! Food was good, well cooked, homemade and good value. The outside seating is also excellent if the weather lets you sit out. Would return.

The views over the Moray Firth were spectacular, the food delicious (haggis, neeps and tatties) and the staff so warm and friendly.

Nothing exciting to report about the food, I had the curry and it was very flavourless. The service also was very poor, think I seen one lady smile but it might have been a twitch. Besides this the value was very good for the amount you get and the view over the ocean was beautiful.
