Erg leuk plaatsje en goed hotel voor een paar dagen
Pros:

Goede locatie, vriendelijk personeel en een mooie vernieuwde kamer. De rest van het hotel zou ook een opfrisbeurt kunnen gebruiken. Het ontbijt kan wel iets uitgebreider, maar was voor ons voldoende. Achter het hotel is parkeerruimte. De eigenaar geeft aanwijzingen hoe je de auto moet parkeren.
Nairn is een leuk plaatsje. Je kunt vanuit een hotel naar het strand lopen (ongeveer 1 km) en daar een mooie wandeling maken over de boulevard. Verder is Nairn een goede uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes naar bijv. Fort George, Inverness of Culloden.
Wij hebben ook één keer ’s avonds in het restaurant gegeten, het was heerlijk, aanrader!

Pros:

De kamer was recent gerenoveerd en zag er erg goed uit. Ruime kamer, goede bedden en goede WiFi. Goede badkamer. Het ontbijt was in orde, voldoende.

Cons:

Er was geen goede plek voor de fietsen, ook moesten we ze verplaatsen terwijl gezegd was dat we ze overal neer konden zetten. Het hotel ligt aan een drukke straat.
Er was geen ventilator terwijl het toch wel erg warm was in de kamer, dat is jammer, want een ventilator helpt al erg veel.
