“Best B&B ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

My husband and I have stayed with Michelle many times over the years and would never consider choosing a hotel instead. We have yet to find one which matches up to the spotlessness throughout, the well appointed rooms, the very comfortable beds, the shower rooms with every possible requirement supplied - AND - a fridge in the room. Breakfast is a feast of choices. Parking is easy and walking two different ways to town makes it perfect for shopping, dining and theatre going. No one could ask for more - oh! and I forgot reasonably priced too! Michelle and her husband Brian are so cheery and helpful and willing to go that extra mile to help. Perfection.

Room Tip: All rooms are fine but the ground floor one very convenient for Elderly folk!

“Great B&B, very quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Two friends and I stayed here in early December. Very good breakfast, with many options (vegetarian, etc.-- will please any diet). Bathrooms were clean, fresh towels every day, shower hot and relaxing. The bed was deliciously comfortable. The location was about a ten to fifteen minute walk to town, so relatively central.
The only possible caveat is that the B&B (like many) has paper-thin walls. This is completely fine, considering all the guests are perfectly respectful and quiet; our sleep was never interrupted by others' noise. Unfortunately, we were the offenders in that regard-- we woke up other people a couple of times, which we felt very bad about. I therefore wouldn't recommend this place for people on the younger end who are traveling with friends. If you want to chill out in your room together and laugh and talk, you might disturb other guests.
If you want a quiet, relaxing place to stay, this is a great choice.

Thank you for your review and for the positive comments. We are, however, disappointed to note your comments on the implied condition of our room walls, but just for the record they are all double insulated and as you have stated clearly in your review you were not disturbed by other guests. In this instance it appears that you and your friends were genuinely unaware of creating excessive noise in the early hours of the morning when other guests were asleep. You will recall we discussed this in the morning and we thank you for respecting this position for the remainder of your stay. Thanks again for the other positive comments.

“excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Stayed here for 3 nights while on a golfing holiday in October. Good location for Nairn, Castle Stuart and Royal Dornoch. Great breakfast in the morning and the proprieters were very helpful with all my questions and needs. A little difficult to find when first coming into town so make sure you have good directions. Within walking distance to downtown, the castle inn was a good place for a cold beer and a good meal. Fridge in your room is very helpful and they even have movies to borrow if you are looking for something to watch.

“Excellent Excellent Excellent !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We stayed on 2 separate nights last week and wish we had been able to stay more ! Michelle and Brian are everything exceptional hosts can be. Very friendly, helpful with nothing being too much trouble. The rooms are extremely clean, spacious and have everything in them you could possibly want - even a fridge. We have stayed in some 5 star B+B's that are not as good !
Super towels, toiletries, everything so well thought out and with lovely decor. We stayed in 2 of the rooms - our fault due to the way we booked one night for the Wednesday and then the Friday ! and both were excellent.
You choose breakfast in the morning and it is beautifully cooked and with fresh fruits, cereals, muffins etc... it was absolutely lovely. This is the perfect B+B and our only hope is that it isn't booked when we ring next Feb or March to return with our friends for a week !!
Should be number 1 in the ratings definately !!!

Room Tip: Any room would be perfect - don't worry !
