Nairn Hotels | Places to Stay in Nairn

August 6, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Thanks to its unique micro-climate, Nairn gets more hours of sunshine and less rainfall than other towns just a few miles away. Thankfully, this combination of abundant sun and no rain provide the perfect weather conditions for golf, as Nairn boasts two 18-hole championship courses. (And if you have time on your hands, there are 30 more courses within 60 miles.) Don't miss the town's jazz and film festivals, the latter of which was started by Nairn resident and actress Tilda Swinton (you'd know her if you saw her).

Reviewed By Martin F

What a charming hotel! Great views, walking distance to town and restaurants. Right on the beach. The staff are lovely and so willing to help. The lounge and honor bar is such a nice touch. I would recommend anyone to stay here. It was a great “home base” for us to take whisky tours of Speyside and historical tours of Culloden, Cawdor Castle, Clava Cairns.

Golftrip

Reviewed By Laurens D

This is an old and slightly neglected hotel. Carpet worn, bathroom old (shower curtain? Really…) staff must be hard to come by, but a barkeeper with infected lip piercings and black nailpolish was shocking. Two large coaches “dream tour of Sotland” parked right in front front of the entrance during the night was disturbing. Food reasonable, breakfast limited.

Enjoy a cup of tea and home-baking by the fire when you arrive, and a fantastic highland breakfast to set you up for a day admiring the beautiful scenery and history, golf, fishing, riding- just a few activities to be found close by.

Short business trip with golf thrown in

Reviewed By R8115KKdavidw

Owners very accommodating as my BA flight was cancelled last minute meaning my arrival was a day late! A warm welcome, spotlessly clean lovely room with toiletries. Tea & coffee in the room with access to more if needed. Breakfast was excellent, nothing too much trouble, everything cooked fresh to order, truly cannot fault anything. Sadly I didn’t have time to sample the afternoon tea & fresh cakes which can be enjoyed in their lovely garden area. Final point, my room had a walk-in shower, I know if I had brought my wife she would have wanted a bath tub, no idea if any rooms accommodate this?

A Wonderfull Stay in Scotland

Reviewed By kristabT7999TX

We, four Canadians, recently made a trip to Golf's mecca in Scotland and were fortunate enough to have been booked for four nights at the Sandown House. The accommodations were first class and would equal any 4/5 star hotel. They rooms were spacious and well appointed. What made it special was the host, Liz. The breakfasts offered were delicious. Liz also gave us helpful info on local activities and dining choices. Do yourself a favour and stay here!!

We offer a well stocked cosy bar serving good quality food at very competitive prices, popular steak nights every Friday and Saturday are a must try.
