Best little Italian in Nairn

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.

Lovely place to stay!

Friendly and accommodating staff. Great location and a great restaurant. Roadside rooms are a little noisy with traffic and some noise from the restaurant below (it closes at nine so the noise after hours was a bit surprising).
