When you stay at Washington House Boutique B&B in Nairn Arthur and Aileen Paterson will give you a warm welcome and a chance to unwind in the Scottish Highlands. Washington House, located in the leafy west end close to the beach and town centre, offers high quality accommodation in a beautiful Victorian house built in 1879 retaining many of the original features. It is styled with an eclectic mix of contemporary and vintage furnishings to give a comfortable and relaxing stay. We love our house and we hope you do too. The en-suite bedroom with a sea view has a luxurious super-king size bed with a silk-filled duvet and down pillows, hairdryer, wi-fi, internet radio with Spotify Connect, tea and coffee facilities with fresh baking, seating area with books and magazines. One bathroom has a walk-in rain shower and a double ended bath, The other has a spacious rain shower. Aesop toiletries are provided along with fluffy towels and bathrobes. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, is prepared to order using fresh local ingredients and our own homemade breads, granola and preserves and served in the dining room.
Nairn is a great location from which to explore the North of Scotland. Whether it be a game of golf on the championship courses, a distillery tour, a visit to one of the many historic sites and castles or as a starting and finishing point for the NC500. Or even a getting away from it all moment with a walk on one of the beaches. Be sure that there will never be a shortage of activities in this beautiful part of the Highlands. Getting here.
