- Fjolla (10/5): Top mais un peu « sale » - La proximité avec la plage, le bar et restaurant ainsi que le personnel. Le petit déjeuner était aussi très bon. Nous avons trouvé l’hôtel un peu sale. Les serviettes dans la chambre n’étaient pas propres, nos tasses à thé non plus et le sol non plus. Nous avons également retrouvé beaucoup de poussière dans nos bols pour le petit déjeuner.

- Fiona (8/5): Great Wee Spot - Super comfy bed, excellent location for both town/beach/parkrun/sauna.
Staff are reallh friendly, great drinks selection including Alcohol Free.
Food portions at dinner were huge. Room was very cold, even with the heating on, food (albeit big portions) wasn''t the best quality - overcooked chicken strips, overcooked pasta, greasy onion rings etc. Would prefer smaller plates done better.
Bed wheeled itself away from the wall several times so I lost my pillow down the back, haha.
Take earplugs as it's noisy when live music is on (expected since it's a pub).
- Nicola (10/5): -

- Alison (7/5): Good value for money - Friendly. Spacious room Poor mattress on bed
- Dan (7/5): - Great location: We were in Nairn to do the Parkrun. The Havelock was a few minutes walk from the start point down by the beach. It was a 5 minute walk into the town centre. The beds were comfy. The heating wasn't on in the room when we arrived. It took ages to warm up. Brrrr
- Kati (10/5): Ich hatte jeden Morgen ein tolles Frühstück nach meinen Wünschen. Im Zimmer war ein Wasserkocher so das Frühaufsteher vo - Das Zimmer war sehr schön und ich hatte Blick aufs Meer. Der Teppich im Flur ist schon in die Jahre gekommen.

- Janet (8/5): Havelock met our needs perfectly. We would definitely stay again. - Dinner was good and service was excellent.
Double aspect bedroom was light and airy. Private bathroom was spacious; over-bath shower was excellent.
- Joe (4/5): Staff are very nice staff. Wouldn’t stay again - Its location was perfect. Was taking part in a local event the start line was 300 yards away. Staff very friendly and allowed us to check in late. Can not fault the staff!! Was not impressed with the room. Dirty towels and no hot water on two occasions. The bed I slept on was on wheels and would move away from the head board over night and the bedding would be falling off the mattress!! Also my friend’s room smelt funny.
- Lorraine (10/5): Would definitely stay here again. Lovely clean rooms. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Great location. Highly recommended. T - Would definitely stay here again. Lovely clean rooms. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Great location. Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely stay. Nothing
- Tracy (6/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): -
- Heather (6/5): N/A - Location was great as we were attending a function, they had music in the bar and our room was above it so very loud. Breakfast was not of good quality but edible.
It's dated and could do with some TLC. See above
- Lorraine (9/5): - Welcoming and very pleasant, helpful, informative staff. Check out is a little early.
- Ray (10/5): -
- Paul (9/5): An excellent small hotel- great staff, good food and excellent location. -
- Shirley (8/5): -
- David (8/5): A very comfortable stay in a great hotel - Location. Staff. Comfortable, warm and clean The steak pie was almost all pastry with very little filling with a very small portion of potatoes. Tasted nice, but not great value for money. Breakfast was lovely though.
- kirsteen (9/5): Nairn - The staff were friendly and welcoming. Great position in the town near the beach
- John (9/5): -

- Calum (10/5): Nairn break. - Great wee hotel. My partner and myself loved our stay.
- Hogan (8/5): Decent value stay at a pleasant location. - Very good location & friendly team.
- John (8/5): -
- Lydia (8/5): Very pleasant, and with a few minor improvements to the room, it would be even better. - The staff are friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. The bar had local beers. It's a lovely old building in an excellent location. Although the bar was busy, we did not hear any noise from the bar in our room. The room, although all facilities were provided and it was very clean, was a little dated and 'tired'. The decor was a bit drab - just a refresh and a wardrobe with doors would help and maybe some more attractive pictures of the beautiful Nairn countryside and beach on the walls. The guest information book could be a little more attractive and comprehensive. It was a double room but there was only one comfortable chair.

- Waiying (8/5): -
- James (8/5): Nice place/staff and great value - Friendly helpful staff, the room was clean and hard to fault for the cost. I had a meal which was very good. Great location as Nairn is such a lovely place. Unfortunately breakfast doesn't start until 08:00hrs and I had to leave prior. They do a grab and go but I didn't realise I had to let them know before the kitchen closed the night prior.
- drummond (8/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): - The Havelock Hotel was just delightful. Large comfortable room. The staff could not have been more friendly and professional. Fantastic location. A block from the seaside and a short walk to the High Street. Nairn is a lovely Scottish town. The locals are colorful, friendly and welcoming. How lucky were we.
Thank you all.

- Tammy (9/5): - Excellent location next to the water front. Warm, clean and quiet.
- Nicola Serge (7/5): -
- Abbey (9/5): Definitely book again if I’m ever staying in Nairn - Breaking was exciting and served by a lovely woman who was very pleasant and chatty. Room was comfortable and the room temp was just right. Location excellent Couldn’t really find anything
- Hannah (9/5): - Rooms were large, staff was friendly, shower was wonderful.
- Isabelle (8/5): Le lieu idéal pour moi - Je connais cet établissement depuis longtemps. J'y séjourne à chaque fois que je viens à Nairn. Il est très bien situé, proche de la plage. Le pub / restaurant est très bien et le personnel à l'écoute. Des travaux d'agrandissement ont été réalisés cette année. J'y retournerai. Je regrette que le porridge ne soit plus proposé au petit déjeuner. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et propose beaucoup de choix mais le porridge me manque !
- Jane (9/5): Great stay! - Warm, clean and comfortable.
Excellent dinner and breakfast.

- Gerald (8/5): -
- Finn (8/5): Good location, good beer, nice rooms, great staff and lovely cooked breakfast! -
- Miguel (8/5): - Habitación y cuarto de baño amplio Muy antiguo
- Dixie (8/5): I enjoyed my stay. I was only one night--too short! - I had to leave before breakfast. I liked that it was close to town and the beach and I could walk to both.
- Andrea (4/5): Gute , zentrale Lage für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Nettes Städtchen mit guten Lokalen zum Abendessen. - Die zentrale Lage Die Zimmer waren ungeheizt, bei einstelligen Außentemperaturen, die Einrichtung schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen und abgewohnt.
- Ritske (8/5): - Nice building close to shops, restaurants and beach. Also relatively close to Inverness airport.
- Harold (8/5): - Personal touch. No complaints.
- Betty (9/5): Good introduction to our 2 week stay in Scotland - Older, unique, restaurant on site, good place to wander around area near Inverness without costly 8Inverness rentals, close to airport
- Shane (8/5): Great location, friendly & efficient staff - Great location. Our room had good views. Friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Large bathroom. We had two evening meals at the hotel. Staff and food were great.
- Chas (10/5): - Lovely room for the price. Great view from the window. Waiting staff were exceptional. Polite and very friendly. Prompt service.
- Stuart (10/5): One night in the Havelock - This is a great hotel. The room was comfortable and clean and spacious for a single room. The shops are just a five minute walk away and there’s a golf course not far away also. I didn’t eat in the restaurant so I can’t comment on the food but I will definitely be staying here again.
- Chris (7/5): Decent stay. - Convenient for the town. Food was ok. Room wasn't cleaned after the first night, it was fine as I could use the 2nd coffee cup. Prefer a separate shower. Mattress sinks on one side. Key was sometimes awkward. Dining room was way too bright, like a staff canteen rather than a restaurant.
- Lesley (7/5): OK for a short stay! Great location - Clean and spacious room, friendly staff
Great location! No hot water (electric shower was good) but stone cold from the taps on Saturday evening for having a wash!!
Laminate flooring in a bedroom in the north of Scotland 🤷♀️ feels a bit cold! Especially in the winter I would imagine!
Cheap and uncomfortable bed!
- Kirsten (7/5): - Wir sind auf einer Rundreise und haben dieses Hotel aufgrund der Lage gewählt. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Hotel verfügt über einen eigenen Parkplatz. Was uns aber am meisten überrascht hat, war das hervorragende Essen im Lokal des Hotels. Es wurde köstlich angerichtet und war ein Genuss. Auch das Frühstück war sehr köstlich. Dem Zimmer fehlt es an jedem Komfort. Das Bett war hart, natürlich empfindet es jeder unterschiedlich, es gab keine Abstellmöglichkeit im Bad, alles wirkte sehr abgewohnt, der Spiegel im Bad ist verblichen und fast blind, die Ablage rostet und das Fenster ist auch stark angegriffen durch die Feuchtigkeit. So ein Kontrast zur Küche des Hotels, sehr schade.
- Jo (8/5): A friendly local hotel - A popular local bar and hotel quite close to the beach. Own car park. Slightly dated but comfortable enough.
