    Lovely spacious upside-down house in an ideal position close to the beach and town centre. It was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Would definitely recommend, also the Sundancer restaurant near the harbour for great food and beautiful sea view.

    The house is located right on the lovely Links at Nairn with the beach just a minute or so away. It was absolutely perfect - extremely well appointed and tastefully furnished, and very spacious. Carmel, the owner is a lovely lady who popped round...

Gordon
Traditional three-bedroomed cottage, with views from all rooms across the Nairn Links parkland to the dunes and award-winning beach beyond. The cottage was built around 1900, and has an "upside-down" configuration, with three bedrooms downstairs and living space upstairs to maximise the benefit of the spectacular views across the Moray Firth to the Black Isle, Sutors of Cromarty and Easter Ross. Upstairs, the lounge has windows on two sides, with views North to the sea and West towards the famous Nairn bandstand and the spacious Nairn Links parklands. The dining room is at the other end of the cottage, has a view to the sea and has patio doors out to a terrace that looks over a small courtyard to the bandstand. The kitchen is between the dining room and the lounge, has a view to the sea and is equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The cottage has parkland on two sides but has no garden of its own. There is a small courtyard outside the main door, enclosed by cast iron gates. There is parking available on the street to the side and to the front of the cottage. These streets are very quiet, as they are used for local access only.
I grew up about 20 miles from Nairn, then moved away. I spent about 25 years working in engineering around the world, including France, Netherlands, Germany, Pakistan, Australia and US. I recently moved back to the area and I now live in Nairn, about a mile away from Atholl Cottage. I love the outdoors, and I'm currently enjoying all this area has to offer, with excellent beaches and forests on my doorstep, and Cairngorms national park less than half an hour away.
The cottage is in a great spot, two minutes walk from the beach while also very close to the centre of town, with coffee shops, bars and restaurants less than 10 minutes walk away.
