Great stay and easy to reach Inverness

Great hotel! The room was very spacious and staff very friendly. The pub downstairs is a plus and the food was great! Parking was on the street but free and was very easy and we literally parked at the hotel door. Was very easy to reach Inverness, Culloden and Clava Cairns + Nairn is a super cute little town. High recommend this stay :)

It was great being just a couple of mins walk from the beach, where there's a path along the coastline. Perfect for an evening walk to blow away the cobwebs !

From the first moment to the last the staff at The Havelock were friendly, charming and very helpful. The hotel has a charming feel to it, the restaurant serves gorgous food and the atmosphere is great. I will definately stay here again if I'm up that neck of the woods. The staff were superb, they make this place.

Very nice place for the price. Note the rooms are over a bar that had live music til midnight (stayed Friday and Saturday night). It was too loud but if you are a light sleeper it may be an issue. Really enjoyed the stay in this beautiful town

Bare bones but cute room, with big with high sealing and very clean. We enjoyed the property. It is a small gem . Downstairs is a nice pub with excellent fish and chips Nd a nice fun atmosphere. Breakfast was also very good and freshly made. Nairn is a small village, very pretty located right in the ocean. Would stay there again

Convenient and charming location in Nairn

This was a pleasant surprise on my last night in the UK. I'd had no luck finding a place in Inverness near the airport and settled here instead. The single room was plenty big for me, the ensuite was a nice touch, and the pub downstairs had surprisingly good food when I was too tired to go back out. The location is great, 15 minutes on a straight shot to the airport, and walkable to the beach. The staff at the bar were all friendly and helpful, and walked me through using the car park, wifi, and leaving my key when I left the next morning. Really enjoyed my stay here.
