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.

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.

We had a lovely stay at Aurora, check in was seem less, the lady that greeted us is the owner along with her husband, very nice, hardworking couple. The building is a bit older, parking in the lot is tricky but on the street no problem. The food at the restaurant was excellent.
