With stunning views over Nairn’s beach and the Moray Firth, this comfortable independent hotel offers a friendly welcome, an award-winning bar with a range of real ales, delicious locally sourced dishes and weekly live music. The traditional pub was named CAMRA Highlands and Western Isles’ Pub of the Year for 2025 (following wins in 2020, 2022 and 2024!) and is Cask Marque accredited – and its popular events such as the Bandstand Beer and Music Festival have been recognised by the Scottish Hospitality Awards. The hotel’s Sea View Restaurant offers fresh seafood, steaks and traditional Scottish cuisine, with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options available. A cosy fire glows in the guest lounge over winter months and come summer the beer garden is the perfect place to soak up the sun. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden.
