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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.
