Second time there!
We stayed here 5 years ago and returned. I think that says a lot :). The Annex is in a perfect little spot, and has everything we need. Bed is comfy, space is cozy, and feels like home. Besides the conveniences, Leslie is amazing. Great communication, willing to help with whatever you need. And had some items for breakfast there!… which was wonderful after a late night arrival. He is honestly just a wonderful man, and this time was hard to leave! He has become like family. I hope we can return soon.

Perfect location
My daughter & 16 yr old granddaughter & I are from the US. We wanted to see some of the Scottish Highlands so decided to travel as far as the trains from London would take us which was this enchanting small town of Nairn. Our host Leslie was more than accommodating and his apartment kitchen was complete with everything we needed to cook for ourselves including plenty of breakfast food with the best fresh eggs. Be sure you take advantage of the town’s beach. My daughter lives near the beach in FL & found this one most attractive. We recommend making reservations at Golf View Hotel’s lovely restaurant for dinner one evening. Great food & beautiful sunsets off the beach. We hope to come back one day

Facelift??
First impression is that the owner needs to engage help as it needs a good deep clean throughout Far too much artificial /real plants and ornaments add to the huge amount of clutter in guest sitting room of property which needs a major update. Items in flat look and feel very old and over used. His keenness to please is charming but no answer to poor standards.

I think it was Mr Churchill who said "You can please some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you will never be able to please all of the people all of the time" I guess Mary will never be satisfied and that makes me sad.

Leslie greeted us, explained everything, had basic food available and had excellent prepared information for anything you may want to do in Northern Scotland. Beautiful garden , great shower, fully stocked kitchen and a host that cares for his guests, what more can one ask for? We hope to return when we can stay longer.

Leslie met us on arrival and was very friendly and informative. Accommodation was very comfy and everything you’d ever need was there. We have stayed in accommodation run by big firms and have to say they could learn a think or five from Leslie. Great hospitality all round. Thank you very much. Eddie & Heather

Can’t say enough about our experience here. This was our first stop, our first time to Scotland. And talk about Scottish hospitality at its finest. Leslie greeted us upon arrival, had food in the fridge for our breakfasts. (Not only that, but being so jet lagged, he even prepared us a meat pie for dinner!). He gave us all the scoop about Scotland, travel tips and history. A wonderful start to a wonderful trip! The apartment has everything you need and is very modern, clean and convenient. The bed is comfy. The location is perfect. I just loved this first week in Scotland! Thank you Leslie! You are amazing!

I stayed in apartment 1 - it has everything you need and with Les' thoughtfulness it is very comfortable. The weather was very kind during my stay so it was great to be able to move one of the hairs on the decking on to the grass to enjoy the sunshine. The apartment is ideally located off the A96 & is a gentle short stroll to the main shopping area. There is also a lovely walk from the apartment down to the sea & along the shoreline.

We were welcomed by Leslie, who proved to be a very welcoming host. The fact that he provided the apartment with basic groceries was very convenient, and helped us start the stay without worries about having to do some shopping first. Leslie gave good tips about touring the neighborhoods , which helped us planning our sightseeing.

It was a pleasure having you to stay at our apartments. The Scottish Highlands is one of the most scenic areas of the world but a three day visit is not long enough to even scratch the surface. It is only when they arrive here that first time visitors to The Highlands realize the distances and the time it takes to negotiate our single track roads and the fact that you need to stop every few minutes to photograph the next awesome inspiring vista. My advice is you need at least one week to explore the beauty around the Nairn area.

Leslie bent over backwards to ensure that our stay was a happy one. We especially appreciated the bikes to explore the waterfront, river and forest. He drove us to Inverness to pick up our hire car. He has detailed route maps and suggestions for places to visit. He even offered to drive us to the Highlands and be our guide. Everything you need will be there or he will try his best to get it for you. The apartment was very comfortable and the bed brilliant. Thanks Leslie for everything.

Well decorated apartment and very nice breakfast provided in fridge by owner!
We enjoyed the stay and the location is just a few minutes to the beach and town Center. We would think having black out curtain in the bedroom would be nicer especially bed is facing the windows. It is a self catering apartment, did not expect our bathroom towels were tidied and folded each day. Overall, the apartment is well decorated and well managed. Thank you for the sightseeing information provided by the owner, very helpful!

Wonderful little apartment in a quiet beach community!
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in April and really enjoyed it. I expected Leslie to be a wonderful host, and he lived up to every expectation, even spending an entire day as our tour guide. He even provided us some groceries! The apartment is clean, remodeled, and very modern, and is everything you need for a short or long stay. Full kitchen, laundry, and a really nice shower. There is a small deck off the apartment where you can enjoy the garden area. Short walk to the Co-op grocery store, about a mile walk to the beach where there is a really nice park. Nairn is a quiet community, but only a 15 minute drive from Inverness, Culloden, Clava Cairns, and Ft George. Takes about an hour and a half to drive to the west coast to Ullapool, so many day trips from this location are possible. I know I will be going back again!

Excellent apartment in great location
I stayed here for 3 days during a motorbike tour of Scotland. This property is really well located for a visit to the Moray Firth area. The apartment is a good size and well-equipped and provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. Leslie provides a warm welcome and is an excellent host. When I arrived the fridge was already stocked with loads of provisions which was a nice surprise. He even provided me with a guitar to play for the duration of my stay. I would recommend this property to anyone thinking of visiting the area and I hope I will be able to return in the future.

Excellent accomodation in Nairn - true Highland hospitality
I would definitely stay here again - this was a five star experience. The property was clean, bright, modern and well furnished. The towels were fluffy, the bed was comfy, the fridge was well stocked with sausage, bacon, eggs, yogurt, butter and milk and there was fresh fruit in the fruit bowl, bread in the bread bin and tea bags and ground coffee in the appropriate containers. Lots of traditional Scottish foods in the cupboard like marmalade and oatcakes for breakfast and even a ready meal of haggis, neeps and tatties in the fridge! There was clothes washing powder for the washing machine, an ironing board and iron and a hairdryer. There's a charming deck off the living area with views onto the large garden. The location was ideal - 5 minutes walk to the beach or 5 minutes into the High Street or the railway station - but on a quiet residential street. Leslie was most hospitable - he picked me up from the station and drove me to the airport to pick up a car - and could not have been more helpful in showing me around and recommending place to eat and visit. Nairn has a wonderful, long sandy beach, lots of great walks and many wonderful eateries - don't miss the Cawdor Tavern just outside Nairn for a true Scottish pub experience with great food or the Sand Dancer Cafe on the beach where you can sit upstairs in the afternoon and have a cup of tea and watch the waves. I had never stayed in Nairn before but it is a great location for getting into Inverness, across the moors to Aviemore or a train to Aberdeen. Highly recommended.

In August 2020 we spent nearly 3 weeks in Nairn. Scotland is very spectacular (the mountains, the Lochs and the Sea..) and this flat is the perfect place to stay. It`s clean and nothing is missing. Leslie is the best host we ever had. Never before we learned so much about the history of the country. He took us to a 350 miles trip to the West and this was an unforgettable day. He although picked us up at the Airport. It seems that he enjoys every second with his visitors and that`s what makes this apartment special. Thank you so much. :-) Jana and Thomas from Germany
