About this property

Very well-presented and welcoming semi-detached stone cottage on the outskirts of the pretty coastal town of Nairn in the Scottish Highlands. Presented to an excellent standard with great attention to detail this cottage would be ideal for a family or group of friends who want to spend time together exploring this lovely part of Scotland. The cottage is deceptively spacious with two sunny bedrooms on the upper floor along with a shower room and on the ground floor there is a second bathroom, very well-equipped kitchen with dining area and cosy sitting room with woodburning stove, just perfect for cosy nights in after an active day. There is a parking area to the front with bench seating and a fully enclosed private garden where barbecues and alfresco dining can be enjoyed on the warmer days. The town of Nairn itself has much to offer but the main attraction has to be its beautiful stretch of golden sandy beach where visitors can walk for miles taking in the unspoilt beauty of the area. Pretty little shops and cafés are dotted around and if you continue northwards along the Moray Firth coastline there are an abundance of small fishing villages, each with their own history and visitor attractions. Leaving the coast why not pick up the famous Malt Whisky Trail and drive through some of the country’s most stunning scenery, stopping off at the distilleries along the route. Nairn is close to the capital city of the Highlands, Inverness, and a drive around the banks of famous Loch Ness partaking in a spot of Nessie hunting can be great fun. This is a fabulous part of the world and this pretty and welcoming cottage will ensure an amazing holiday for all. EPC Rating: Band E

Nairn is an attractive and lively seaside town dating back to Victorian times. It has long been a popular holiday destination and is just 16 miles from the town of Inverness. Nairn even lays claim to being one of the driest and sunniest places in the country! The town offers some of the top beaches in Scotland and cleanest bathing waters in Britain. Also, one of the only two dolphin colonies in the UK is based in the Moray Firth.

    The cottage was super clean and lovely and cosy. Everything was there to make life comfortable, a fully equipped kitchen, two lovely warm bathrooms, a comfy sitting room and two gloriously light bedrooms with velux blinds to make them dark at night. The position of the cottage in Nairn was ideal. Walking there is a handy supermarket just down the road as well as a patch of woodland. The beach is only a 15 minute walk and in the opposite direction over the level crossing there is countryside with public footpaths to discover. By car, Nairn is in a great situation. We went to Culbin Forest, Knockando woollen mill, Dulsie bridge and Ardlach watchtower, Dullas castle, Loch Ness and Grantown on Spey. We had such a lovely time. Thankyou Phill and Karen I hope we can return very soon.

    The cottage is well situated around a 30 minute walk to town centre. The cottage was clean, well furnished, the bed was very comfortable and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The owners lived next door and were very quick to respond to a couple of wee problems. We would not hesitate to return and definitely recommend a stay here.

    Feedback, there could be a better larder in the kitchen. We’re used to having the basics ie oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, items you don’t really need a lot of but handy for cooking.
