Despite the outdated decor from the '80s and poorly furnished rooms with a grotty bathroom, my stay was still enjoyable thanks to the relaxing and warm atmosphere. The beautiful grounds and building added a touch of charm. The service was really helpful and the staff were polite. The location was perfect, close to coastal walks and offering a quiet retreat with a unique view of Highland cattle on the grounds. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with good food overall but the occasional overcooked dish. Overall, the hotel provided a mix of positives and negatives for a memorable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a good homely atmosphere but were a bit noisy due to their proximity to a mechanical room. The service was excellent, with attentive staff, although there were some issues with additional charges for meals. The location, set in a beautiful wooded garden park, was relaxing but a bit far from the beach and town center. The dining experience was a hit-or-miss, with some meals better than others, and the facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and disappointing experiences. The location was superb, near the beautiful coastal town of Nairn, and the room was quiet and spacious, although the view of old carpets and branches in the back garden was not ideal. The service, while mostly friendly, had some hiccups with a waiter/manager. The dining options were good, especially the fresh products, but there was room for improvement. Overall, a decent stay considering the value for money.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while warm and comfortable, could feel a bit depressing at times. However, one of the rooms I stayed in was of lower quality due to an old bed, weak shower, and poor socket placement. On the bright side, my other room was very spacious and comfortable, with a large bathroom overlooking the garden.
