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 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.

My single room on second floor was clean, comfortable and quiet....perfect for a good night's sleep. Hotel is well situated, just a 10 minute walk to the train station or a nip around the corner to the Nairn Museum. Breakfast was sufficient...partly self serve, partly hot; but staff was a little scarce so no second cup of coffee was to be found. No gluten free bread, but several GF cereals and plenty of other choices. If I am back that way again, I would rebook but stay for longer.

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.
