Amazing Spa Experience!
Pros:

WOW! What an amazing day our group of four (three woman/one man) had at The Coast Spa. We chose the Drift Away Massage and one person the Stress Not Massage. We upgraded with the Thermal Experience for £30 per person for 2 hours as an add on to Coast Spa packages. The changing rooms are small, so pack lightly, but well appointed. The facilities were great with use of the stone bath, pool, hot tubs and salt room. The massage therapists were all just amazing. Huge shout out to Shirley, Sarah and Tara (so very sorry we missed the name of the 4th), as this was probably the best massage that I personally have experienced. We didn't stay at the hotel, but drove from our Airbnb in Inverness, for a day of pampering and it didn't disappoint! Highly recommend booking well in advance!

Relaxing stay at the golf view hotel Nairn
Pros:

The golf view hotel in Nairn provides a relaxing experience due to its location on the beach front. The views of the sea are stunning!
The room had a sea view was able to sit on bed and look out at the sea and beach ! Room very charming and spacious. Beds very comfortable. Fan was provided as no air conditioning and very warm in the summer despite being able to open window in our room. Spa amenities absolutely fantastic enjoyed the outdoor hot tub ! We dined at the restaurant in the hotel with a window seat overlooking the views. We had the hickory burger which was delicious no faults. Service was good. Breakfast was also excellent ordered French toast with bacon very tasty and impressed.

Cons:

The lift was out of order very steep climb to top floor especially annoying if you are ordering drinks from the bar to take to room on top floor.
No fridge in room would be handy.
Room service very disappointing as tried several times to phone to request room service but got not answer each time !

Mémorable.
Pros:

J'ai beaucoup aimé la manière dont la chambre avait été préparé lors de notre arrivée. La salle de bain est somptueuse et que ne parle même pas de cette vue spectaculaire qu'offre l'hôtel sur les très belles falaises au loin. La plage juste devant l'hôtel est un incontournable, surtout au moment du coucher de soleil...

Cons:

Le seul petit bémol concernant l'hôtel serait peut être ma surprise lorsque, voulant aller à la piscine avec mon compagnon, nous n'avons pas trouvé de chaussons. Après avoir demandé à la réception, c'était soit 2 £ soit y aller en chaussettes. Un peu dommage.

Un très bel hôtel dans un très bel endroit
Pros:

L'ensemble des prestations étaient très bien. La piscine et l'espace spa étaient admirables. La vue est splendide depuis l'hôtel. Restaurant très bon également pour le dîner même si la carte est surprenante au vue du statut de l'hôtel.

5 star location, 2 star service.
Pros:

Very long wait ( c. 25 mins + ) for meal to arrive once ordered. Asked a waiter how much longer it'd be before our meals arrived - he said a couple of minutes - meals finally arrived 10 minutes after that. Not all meals arrived at the same time - more waiting, and one order was missing part of the meal - which was eventually brought out too when I asked. This was on a quiet midweek evening with the restaurant maybe 40% full. Milk served with post dinner tea was sour - off. Food itself was very good - when it arrived. I used to be a regular here and loved it, the location is spectacular. Five star location, five star prices but two star service.

Wonderful wonderful place
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful: The room, the breakfast room, the grounds and the view -- all superb. The staff was most attentive and helpful. We LOVED everything. It was our second time and we will be back.

Cons:

Air condition would help on hot days. We also recommend adding a small refrigerator.

Very enjoyable
Pros:

Location is superb with amazing views

Cons:

Untidiness around lounge and outdoor area. Empty glasses left on outdoor tables. A chair had blown over or pushed over into the garden where there are tables to sit and enjoy a drink. That chair was still like that when we left the following day. . Not one member of staff picked up the chair and placed it around the table making it inviting to sit down and have a drink. At the price they charge and the star rating they have it’s the little things that matter

My favourite hotel
Pros:

This is my favourite hotel. I try to come once a year. It’s the place where I come when I am stressed. It’s been a really stressful couple of weeks - work issues. The hotel always puts me back to me. Sorry for being grumpier than normal.
The hotel has salt room in its spa. The salt room has good benefits for people with allergies. I have a lot of allergies. Since using the salt rooms I can go months without feeling the affects of the allergies.
Wonderful hotel and lovely staff especially the dogs ( the managers has 2 black labs Xx
Oh and next to the beach perfect.

Must update ratings to lower stars
Pros:

**For the location and views, this hotel deserves 5 stars. Unfortunately, almost everything else falls well below expectations.**

One of the biggest issues is that the elevator is not working. This should be clearly disclosed—in large, prominent text—on the hotel's website before guests book. It is not a minor inconvenience, especially for guests staying on the upper floors who must carry luggage and climb several flights of stairs multiple times a day.

Another serious problem is the water pressure on the top floor. It is virtually nonexistent, making it difficult to take a proper shower or even flush the toilet reliably. This is unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber.

The spa facilities are also poorly managed. Guests entering the spa directly from the street will find no towels, bathrobes on the spa level. If you didn't bring these items from your room, you're forced to climb multiple flights of stairs back to your room—without the benefit of an elevator. This completely undermines the convenience and relaxation that a spa is supposed to provide.

Overall, while the location and views are exceptional, the hotel's operational shortcomings significantly detract from the guest experience. Until these issues are addressed—or at the very least clearly disclosed to prospective guests—I cannot recommend staying here.

Even with the negatives mentioned it was the best hotel we have stayed in and I have been to a lot and if they could sor
Pros:

The room was fantastic and the view was gorgeous. The little touches made a big difference down to the radio and old phone. The bed was so comfortable and the room was huge and the decor was gorgeous. The dog package was appreciated. The food was excellent.

Cons:

The lift wasn’t working and we were on the top floor. The water pressure in the shower was just a trickle and when we reported it the staff made excuses like it’s an old building try running the sink tap it could be an air lock. We did that and it made no difference. We went to have a shower in the spa instead but there was only one shower and had to wait for other people to use it first.
The coffee machine wasn’t working and it took a long time to get a drink. It would be a simple fix to put a machine in the restaurant so people can help them selves as my breakfast was almost gone before I got my drink. The service was slow and we had to ask for everything instead of being offered and it was not busy. My partner went down to get me a drink later in the evening as we were watching football in the room and the barman commented on how many he had already and shamed him in front of everyone when it wasn’t even for him. I couldn’t face the six flight of stairs in the 27 degree heat as I have lung issues due to radiotherapy. There wasn’t a big choice of food on the menu but what I had was fantastic.
