Nairn’s hidden gem

The English Breakfast served daily during my three day stay was prepared perfectly. The room was clean and quiet for sleeping after a long flight. The staff was super friendly upon arrival and check-in was seamless. I would recommend others to stay at this hidden gem in Nairn.

The town of Nairn is lovely, we were able to walk around in the evenings and enjoyed a walk along the beach. The hotel staff was great, lovely family atmosphere. We had the large room which was very comfortable for a family of 4. We also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant which was excellent.

Excellent value

The owners were exceptionally friendly. The room was big and airy with comfortable bed and excellent bathroom/shower. Breakfast was very good with a good choice. Overall very good value for money! The only downside was our room was quite noisy as it overlooked the main road. Would certainly stay again(with a different room!)

Everything went very well. The bathroom was a concern because the floor was soft as if it had water damage.

Best little Italian in Nairn

Great spot, the room was comfortable and had toiletries too, I had a meal downstairs and it was a massive portion! Too much to be honest.

Welcome hosts, superb food.

We felt the front area of the hotel was a little tired and we were not sure what the bedrooms would be like. When we got to the bedroom is was very clean and comfortable, there is a new bathroom fitted and the bed and linen was very good quality. There was a good choice of tea and coffee on the tray. The food was superb! Wonderful choice well prepared for dinner about mid price with big portions especially the starters! The hosts were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We will be back.

Very friendly staff, great service in restaurant and great food. Hotel and room were clean and well appointed. The hotel is nice, but decor is lived in and slightly overdue a refresh, though by no means scruffy.
