The Garden Flat in Nairn
4 Star Self Catering Accommodation
The Highlands of Scotland are by far the most dramatic and panoramic part of Great Britain with views of mountain, sea and loch at every turn.
With the backdrop of the sea and Black Isle hills, Nairn has a stunning location. Ideal for simply relaxing and for touring.

Our self catering apartment is situated in the north east coastal town of Nairn which overlooks the Moray Firth estuary
- home to the only resident population of bottlenose dolphins in the North Sea.
For the children, the swingpark, paddling pool and adventure playground are just 5 minutes walk.
The local museum and swimming pool are also close by.

A 3 minute walk from the flat takes you to the harbour, the Victorian bandstand and cricket pitch.
