The Sunninghill, built in 1869 by a retired merchant sea captain, stands imposingly in its grounds, which originally contained the building's own orchard and stables. The Sunninghill is situated not far from Elgin’s main shopping centre and within easy walking distance of the city’s commercial heart and amenities. For over 32 years, Donald and Winnie Ross have owned the Sunninghill, an hotel with elegant, comfortable interiors, attractive well maintained gardens, a large, private car park and free internet access via WiFi or hardwired broadband connections, through out the hotel.
