Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this charming B&B run by a wonderful family. The food was delightful, especially the coffee, but the Wi-Fi didn’t work for us. While the queen room was spacious and comfortable, the bathroom had a step that was a bit tricky to navigate. The twin room had nice views, but the loud seagulls were a bit distracting. Overall, this place has a darling atmosphere and great food, making it a lovely experience!
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The lounge area could really use some updating, and it felt a bit run down. However, the staff was friendly and the food was quite good. Unfortunately, three of our group had a booking mix-up and had to stay elsewhere. Also, it's not great for those with mobility issues, as there's no lift. Overall, I'd say it needs some improvements, but the service was a bright spot.
I was really disappointed with my experience at this hotel. While the rooms were decent, they had an unpleasant smell and some outdated features. The service at the restaurant left much to be desired, as the food quality was poor and the response to feedback was defensive. Overall, it felt more like an expensive stay for what we received.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Although the exterior could use some sprucing up, the overall value was good, especially considering the delicious breakfast. However, I did find my room a bit cramped for the price I paid.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel, especially the amazing breakfast that was offered. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making for a great night's sleep. The location was convenient, being within walking distance to the wedding venue, but my dining experience left something to be desired due to the restaurant’s dated decor and uninspiring menu.
This hotel offers clean and cozy accommodations in the heart of Nairn, making it a decent spot for a quick stay. While the rooms met our expectations for comfort, the dining experience left much to be desired with mediocre food and limited breakfast options. It's a good value for an overnight stay, but dining here may not be your best bet.
We had a lovely stay at this B&B, with delightful hosts and delicious meals. While the queen room was spacious and comfortable, the twin room had some issues with the shower and noisy seagulls. The Wi-Fi was tricky to connect to, but the overall charm of the place made up for it. My daughter absolutely loved it here!
