Outstanding B&B! John, Rachel and colleagues are amazing hosts, so kind welcoming and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and the beach was beautiful. Breakfast plentiful and tasty, home grown plums a bonus! Room spotlessly clean, bed comfy.

Sunny Brae B&B was absolutely charming. The staff was very welcoming, helpful with knowledgeable advice on local sites, attentive to our lodging needs, and the breakfasts were wonderful. The central beachfront location could not have been better for relaxing seaside town holiday.

Spent two nights during our tour of the Highlands. Hotel was conveniently located to visit Cawdor & Blair castles, Culloden and Loch Ness. The hotel is easy to find, plenty of parking and walkable to several restaurants. The room was comfortable, clean and had all the required amenities. Cooked to order breakfast was amazing and the owners were super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Sunny Brae was a marvelous B n B. We loved the location which is across the park from the beach in Nairn. It is an easy walk from the location to the town center for shops and dinner places. The owners are wonderful, the full Scottish breakfasts were delicious, the room was immaculate, the common areas are large and welcoming, and we would DEFINITELY go back. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Rachel and John for a lovely 3 days.

Just the best B&B

Super professional in every aspect. Lovely warm welcome from Rachel and John. Fantastic sea view room that was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Home cooked breakfast to order was superb and set us up for the day. Ideally situated adjacent to bars and restaurants and a two minute stroll to the town centre and just a hop to the beach. This hidden gem has sold us on a return to Nairn!

Don’t forget to sit and enjoy the front room....

From the moment we were greeted at the door until we left, our stay was stellar. The rooms were clean, the breakfast superior, the beds were comfortable, and the front sitting area was a great place to sit and read and enjoy the view.

We really enjoyed our stay at this B&B. The property offers expansive views of the Firth. The rooms are cheery and thoughtfully appointed. The breakfast was made-to-order and excellent. There are several dining options within a short walk or drive, Our hostess was charming and helpful.
