Excellent breakfast, good choice. Comfortable bed. Good selection of beers in the bar.
Rooms were a bit small but fine for one night. Live music (on a Saturday night when I was there), was heard softly in one of our rooms, nothing in the other (finished at 11:30) so if you don’t like live music maybe ask before booking.

every time someone closed a door my door banged. There was a lot of banging but it stopped after 11pm
Location was amazing.

Ideal location, friendly staff, clean and tidy rooms, live music a bonus, and lovely food.
Nothing
Perfect location for visiting Nairn, Moray and the Highlands. Friendly, helpful welcoming staff. Cosy, cheerful bar and a truly wonderful breakfast. Very relaxed atmosphere throughout.
Parking is on the street, which didn't prove a problem.
we were greeted by a friendly member of staff on arrival and checked in and directed to our room, which we had stayed in before.
The bathroom was fully supplied with various soaps and gels. There were two complimentary bottles of water available for our use along with tea/coffee and a biscuit each. There was a generous supply of clean towels of various types.
The next morning we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to ur seat for breakfast. We were immediately offered tea/coffee, provided with a menu and showed where the cereals were located. We were then invited to order from the menu and additionaly order different types of toast. When it came the order was well cooked, tasty and filled the plate.
On check-out I was invited to comment on our stay by a helpful member of staff - which I did.
On entering the room we had a look around. Alhough we noted the positives detailed above, we also came across a number of less positive points. The details are as follows:
1. The clock on the mantlepiece did not work.
2. After less than ten minutes of operation, the TV stopped working, showing there was no signal.
3. Various wires were trailing down from the TV, disappearing behind the wardrobe.
4. There was a large dark stain on the carpet in front of the bed.
5. In the bathroom, above the sink, there is a glass shelf. It is quite possible/likely that a sink user who bends down could strike their head on the shelf. I did, but luckily I was bending down slowly. If more swiftly, I could have cut my head. A small shelf could be fitted to the left side of the sink.
6. The cold water tap needs to be tightened.
7. A number of the lights in the bathroom's ceiling did not come on when the switch was pressed.
Normally, we would have raised these matters with the hotel at the time. However, as we were going out for most of the night and leaving relatively early the next morning we decided to let things lie. However, I did mention most of them at checkout.
Although I have mentioned and given credit for the very positive staff aspects, the above taken together mean that overall we don't feel that the stay was value for money.
Staff were excellent, polite, helpful and attentive. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Lovely view from the restaurant over the Moray Firth. It's a cosy wee place and was excellent for my 3 night stay.
The bathroom door in my room would not stay closed, so I was a bit anxious that the steam from the shower would activate the smoke alarm. That is a very minor complaint though. Everything else was good.
Excellent location & service. Friendly, relaxed.. great food
Excellent breakfast choices. I had full Scottish breakfast & it was delicious. Dog got a sausage & welcome on lead in designated part of restaurant.
The location of this hotel is ideal for the beach!!
View, the staff and mostly everything
Windows were left open kinda cold although heated up very fast once radiators were turned on + (not criticism but might need to fix curtain rail)
Comfy room great bar and food in restaurant was excellent
