Hotel was good very outdated. Nice staff room. I had a single room was quite small was great for a two day visit. I wouldn’t recommend for a week. As room was small very close to town and beach
This hotel is a gem. Although the building is older, the room was spotless, updated, and everything was in perfect working order.
The restaurant cooked an excellent breakfast to order and the Italian dinners were authentic and delicious. To top it off, the hospitality was warm and welcoming, it was a 5 minute walk to both the downtown and the beach.
Loved this place and would return in a heartbeat.
The hotel felt more like a B&B than a traditional hotel because the staff were so kind and helpful. The rooms were quite large and the food was delicious. I was concerned about parking at first, but we had no trouble parking on the street next to the hotel. I am not a savvy enough driver to park in their lot, but we always found easy parking on the street. Again, I can’t say enough about the staff. I would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat, should I return to any area near Inverness.
Hotel was very clean, I was in a single room so was fairly small, but adequate and very clean, bed was very comfortable.
All staff very friendly, great service and great breakfast. My second stay here and would definitely return.
The proprietors were very lovely and helped us navigate around Nairn since we were only in town for one night. Dinner at the restaurant was also very good!
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.
Friendly staff, good food, clean room. Sensible prices

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.
Nice little hotel and restaurant with a small bar. Good Italien cuisine and beer, very friendly staff.
They even managed to get us a low-fare cab to the airport the next day, thank you!
