I found this hotel through a recommendation from a friend. The food was great, rooms warm and beds comfortable. The many regulars at the hotel were warmly welcomed and they obviously enjoyed their visit and their food. The hotel has wonderful views over the Firth and is in large grounds in a quiet location. I can heartily recommend it. more

Didn't know places like this still existed. Booked as website stated outdoor heated pool, table tennis, tennis court and other activiites, none of which seemed to exist. The pool was unloved and uncared for. The weeds were bursting throught the surrounds and the water was filthy green. The exterior was broken and tatty. Same to be said for the tennis... more

The meals we took were very good. The breakfasts really set us up for the day. I took porridge on the last day and it really was the best porridge I've had (better than my own). Evening meals were great value. The steak dianne (?) was very tasty and probably too much for me. The Stroganoff was delicious. (Had it... more

On first appearance it looks a bit rough - paintwork and the furniture. But it has it's own character and charm. It Interesting place, the location for a view over the Moray Firth etc is good if your room has a sea view and very quite - no traffic noise or noisy air conditioning systems.. The hotel perhaps could be... more

I have stayed at the Altonburn Hotel twice now on 3 night breaks. Each time the visit was because I was playing golf with other friends. The views over The Nairn golf course and to the sea are spectacular. The welcome we receive is warm and genuine. Yes the hotel is old and yes it does need some investment however,... more

Superb food.

We booked a family room at this hotel, picture and description online looked great, BUT, we arrived to a tatty and empty building. Apparently in it's day it was a rather grand hotel but it is past it's best now. We were too early to check into the room (thankfully!) so we had a look around. The furnishings are very... more
