It was perfect for me.
Pros:

The hotel location was brilliant for me as I was doing the Nairn Links parkrun which was a 5 minute walk away. That’s the reason I didn’t have breakfast . I usually eat after a run.
However , I enjoyed a lovely evening meal in the dining room.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

Lovely pub with great food downstairs. Great central location for shore and town centre. Helpful staff.

Cons:

We like to sleep with windows open and because of its location on a corner the room was a bit noisy with traffic in the morning. To mention on Booking.com that the room has a seaview is a bit of a stretch. You can see the sea at places in between buildings but the guy at check-in did mention this. Bathroom is a bit dated....it is a really big and has so much potential....shame.

Very comfortable and welcoming hotel
Pros:

The accommodation in the hotel was large and clean. The location was perfect near the waterfront and pier. The staff were wonderful and we had the best breakfast in Scotland there. The whisky selection was very extensive. We were given excellent recommendations regarding which distilleries to visit. World recommend the Havelock to others.
