This place had its glory days in the past, but it is now very run down, unfortunately. If you are mainly planning activities in Inverness consider that it is located about 25-30 minutes from downtown by car. There is no easy public transportation to Inverness.

Lovely hotel on park like setting

Beautiful hotel in wooded setting. We stayed in the courtyard room outside of main hotel. Very quiet. We added breakfast which was very nice & convenient in the lovely dining room. Only issue was the bed comfort. There were “straps” joining the mattress to make it a larger size but no mattress cover which was quite uncomfortable. Our request for a mattress cover & top sheet be added was done before bed. Duvets are nice but very warm so top sheet was perfect.

In need of serious tic. broken doors to the shower, cracked wash hand basin, torn bath mat, torn curtain. Need I say more about our bed room. Grass growing out of the gutters resulting in choked down pipes. Stayed there for 4 nights and main toilets next to the lounge out of action all the time. This hotel needs a total revamp and is certainly not 4 star. Won’t be going there again.

Bed great. Shower so-so. No shower, get in bathtub for shower. No grab bars--a must for older visitors. No coffee making apparatus in room. Breakfast NOT included in price. Mostly though, it is an old building and, while clean, it has that old building musty wet smell. Big time. Everything a bit wet and sticky to the touch. But, it was a bed on short notice. Would look for alternatives a bit more aggressively in the future.

We were touring around and this was a great location, with the beaches of Nairn nearby and good connections to travel wider afield to Inverness and Loch Ness in one direction and Aviemore in the other. The facilities were what you'd expect and we enjoyed the bar and dining in the restaurant on both nights we stayed there - excellent food and service. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, with our many questions about places to go etc. It was also fascinating to learn about the link with Charlie Chaplin, and I would happily stay there again.

Disappointing - not a 4 star hotel I’ve been coming to Nairn for over 20 years and this is my first time staying in the Muthu Newton hotel. We were given a courtyard room which was outdated, mouldy, unclean and generally in need of a major refurb. We paid £165 per night for a room barely worth £30 per night. We spoke to the receptionist about moving rooms. They consulted the manager who said we would need to pay an extra £10 per night to change rooms. We emphasised we were not wanting an upgrade - our room was frankly unclean, not up to standard and finally we were able to change rooms without charge. We were moved to a room in the main building which was better, but still not to the standard of a 4 star hotel. It still wasn’t particularly clean, the towels smelled and generally needed updated. The staff at breakfast were friendly and helpful, but the breakfast was poor and not cooked well. This hotel has the potential to be beautiful, particularly with the location, but desperately needs a major refurb across the entirety of the hotel.
