The hotel is 2 minutes from the beach. The hotel was easy to find with free on site parking. Check in was quick and easy. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable with good facilities in the room. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and there was a wide selection. We had an evening meal in the hotel which was great, especially as we enjoyed a view over the estuary. In the evenings we enjoyed watching the sunset over the estuary whilst sipping cocktails. The hotel has a pool and spa but you need to book the spa before you arrive as it was fully booked on our arrival. We did still use the pool, steam room and outdoor hot tub which was very relaxing. A short walk to Nairn harbour will put you on a sandy beach which doesn’t get crowded as it just goes on and on. A 25 minute drive will see you in Inverness with plenty to see and do, and also a wide range of restaurants. Overall we had a great time at the hotel the surrounding area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had long interesting conversations with the bartender while she kept us supplied with cocktails, mainly the “Dark & Stormy” but unfortunately we didn’t catch her name. Overall we enjoyed our time there and won’t hesitate to incorporate a further stay when we next plan a tour of Scotland as this holiday was.

Birthday gift. Hotel is good and very comfortable. Small issues but overall we had a great weekend. Reception desk computer covers half the desk when you sit down. Bar area good be better but the lounge space is very comfortable. Light dimmers would be nice in the evening though. We wanted a small snack after 9.30pm but the kitchen closes so nothing available except crisps. Good points - everyone was lovely. We had a great day at the spa and spent time in a very nice pool area. We had a lovely dinner on our first night. The area is easy to walk to the beach promenade and into town. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the sea and managed to see a pod of dolphins swim past.

Wonderful views across the Moray Firth, this old fashioned famous hotel lives up to its reputation.

Lovely hotel, amazing views, great food.

Lots of good, more recent replenishments, like the bathroom, the dining area, and the great swimming pool, hot tub, saunas. Nice well-tended gardens. Great service. But a lot of windows painted immovably shut. And the food was a big let-down. We arrived on Sunday for Sunday dinner at 8, couldn't eat our mains. Breakfasts had the feel of having sat a long time after cooking, bacon burnt to a crisp on 2 out of 4 breakfasts.

My stay was excellent from start to finish. The hotel was clean and everybody was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend, and I will be staying again next time l am up in Inverness.

Beautiful Victorian Hotel, tastefully furnished with excellent service and super staff. Fabulous room with sea view, and a fab bathroom with copper and chrome tub and a 32inch TV fitted into the wall! Even the huge mirror with heated glass!! The dinner menus was excellent and very good food served by courteous staff. All round a super stay, AND a beautiful Spa pool with sea view and every pampering option you could wish for.

Very nice hotel not a very big lift but our room was big and comfortable I need a mobility scooter for getting about was able to use it without any problems

Very relaxing, great food and facilities.

I had ordered a room with sea view but we had view to a roof with iron pipes. However standing looking out the top window we could se the sea between trees! Not what I had expected. I got that thought it had something with my Reward night! But can't prove it. Poor reception, no iformation if we didn't ask ourselves. Room ok but no soap at the washbasin. Breakfast first day fine with fruit nice on a plate, was one af the dishes - second day the fruit was served in a bowl with so much juice, that it look like dishwashing water - not delicious. The hotel likes to appears with a high standard, but then the breakfast must be the same every day and not so different. Very nice pool area - however only one bath, not much if you want people to wash before walking the pool.

This was such a lovely hotel and spa! We stayed here for the last night of our honeymoon and only wish we could have stayed longer.

Amazing experience.

The most wonderful and relaxing stay. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Our entire group of 4 said we would go there in a heartbeat.

Very nice and historic location - beautiful views and atmosphere.

Staff were great and hotel very clean

Lovely hotel, rooms are well decorated and comfortable. We loved going to the pool for a swim! Our view from our room wasn’t ideal but we didn’t upgrade to seaview room so can’t really complain on that, just worth noting if that’s important to your trip! The staff were lovely. I’d recommend booking dinner well in advance, we had to go into Nairn because they were fully booking on arrival - we will be back to try dinner! Breakfast was delicious! Oh and lovely little tray of goodies to congratulate us on our recent wedding!

Beautiful hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed out stay

Everything was fine apart from not much car parking had to end up parking in the street , also the service at dinner was terrible does not cost much for a smile now and then staff was not very pleasant.

Lovely hotel with great leisure facilities and friendly staff

Great hotel & Spa - I'd advise book Amy for a facial & massage, Carl for an excellent tennis lesson & book a golf lesson with Murray! You need to book restaurant early as not many tables but food good. Lovely walks along the beach definitely going back the views were outstanding!

Nice hotel for relaxing break. Leisure facilities and assistants good. Enjoyed our stay.

Lovely hotel & friendly staff. Food was really good & view’s beautiful

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous location. Rooms were lovely. Staff were friendly. The spa has been recently refurbished and is one of the nicest I’ve been too!

Hotel clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Good spa facilities. Excellent service. Good food.

Liked the food Liked the pool

Great place where we go back to a lot . Great food and staff and they accommodate the dogs very well .

Wonderful staff

The pool and spa were out of action due to upgrading work. That is fine but there did not appear to be any reduction in charges due to this being unavailable.

I booked this hotel solely for the use of the gym and swimming pool but upon arrival was told both were closed for refurbishment - there is nothing at point of booking to advise this is the case. I am extremely disappointed as I could have stayed in the Elgin area where I was working and saved myself a 40 mile round trip!!!

Fantastic food and a really beautiful spot to relax .

Lovely hotel in a perfect location. Sea view room was well worth the extra cost. Staff were helpful and friendly - especially enjoyed our massage as well as relaxing in the hot tub 😀 Will definitely be back

Nice hotel. Beautiful location. Electric car charging facilities.
