A nice hotel situated beside a park with open views of the sea. The rooms are reasonably decorated although they could do with a spruce up just to liven them up.

We enjoyed a quiet room with a sea view. Ate out so can't comment on restaurant but breakfast was good. Friendly staff. Only improvement I could suggest would be that the carpet in the bedroom could do with being cleaned.

We've visited Nairn many times but this was our first stay in the Braeval. The room was clean and comfortable, with a superb view across the firth - the only down side was that the bathroom was slightly cramped. The breakfast was excellent and all staff helpful and friendly. We will return.

I was visiting Nairn for a wedding and so spent the majority of time with the wedding party rather than at the hotel but wish I'd had the time to stay on a bit longer. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Room absolutely lovely. Breakfast outstanding. View over the beach at breakfast breathtaking. You should stay here!

Thank you for your lovely comments. Keep an eye on our website and booking agency sites for special offers which give discounts on stays of 3 days and more. Nairn is a great base to enjoy a longer holiday in the Highlands, so I hope we see you back again. More

Booked this break as it coincided with the hotel's Annual Beer Festival held in the Bandstand Bar and in a marquee outside. The weather was sunny, but uncharateristically cold for the time of year, but this did not stop us enjoying the vast array of real ales on offer and the entertainment on each of the three days. Good value... More

I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit and the beer festival. Live music creates such a great ambiance in the Lounge Bar that we have decided to have acoustic music regularly throughout the summer season. We've already secured some really great musicians for most weekends. Hope to see you back soon. See our website for details of upcoming events. More
