Great Wee Spot
Pros:

Super comfy bed, excellent location for both town/beach/parkrun/sauna.
Staff are reallh friendly, great drinks selection including Alcohol Free.
Food portions at dinner were huge.

Cons:

Room was very cold, even with the heating on, food (albeit big portions) wasn''t the best quality - overcooked chicken strips, overcooked pasta, greasy onion rings etc. Would prefer smaller plates done better.
Bed wheeled itself away from the wall several times so I lost my pillow down the back, haha.
Take earplugs as it's noisy when live music is on (expected since it's a pub).

Pros:

Great location: We were in Nairn to do the Parkrun. The Havelock was a few minutes walk from the start point down by the beach. It was a 5 minute walk into the town centre. The beds were comfy.

Cons:

The heating wasn't on in the room when we arrived. It took ages to warm up. Brrrr
