ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Boasting an ideal location overlooking the Moray Firth, the Golf View Hotel & Leisure Club in Nairn is an excellent four-star hotel and is absolutely ideal for the golfer, particularly in terms of playing at Nairn and Nairn Dunbar Golf Clubs. Literally adjacent to Nairn Golf Club, host to the 1999 Walker Cup matches, the hotel was home to both the Great Britain & Ireland team and the US team for the duration of the prestigious event. And apart from the golf, the hotel is an excellent base from which to explore the likes of Cawdor Castle, Loch Ness and the Culloden Battlefield.
The hotel offers a total of 42 bedrooms, most of which have undergone recent refurbishment with the aim of creating more spacious accommodation.

Dinner is served in the AA Rosette winning restaurant, which regularly features local seafood, while the Moray Lounge is the ideal spot to round off the evening over a tipple or two.
