    Nothing, no issues at all.

    Very much enjoyed my stay at The Bandstand. The staff were very friendly indeed and the owner was very helpful. I had an evening meal and I must say that the food was fantastic, your Chef is at the top of his game! There is also a fantastic choice of craft beers available at the bar which were fantastic, no wonder this place was voted best highlands and Islands pub of the year!! I will most definitely be staying again, looking forward to it.

    Tv ariel was faulty and kept losing signal but the staff couldn't have done more, fixed it every time. Nothing worse than sitting down to breakfast and being told to move to another table for no real apparent reason. Had to humf my heavy bag and all my stuff. Plenty free tables. Ariel didn't bother me because they were great trying to fix it but if I hadn't been told to move would have got 10/10.

    Staff are amazing, view is fantastic! The Most comfortable bed I've slept in and I travel for business a lot! And clean

    Evening meal was not available on the day I stayed. En-suite was very old fashioned - needs updating.

    Sea view from room was fantastic, bed was very comfortable, and room was quiet. Location of hotel is excellent.

    The only negative was that I asked for a decaf coffee after my evening meal and I learned the next day that the waitress had used a decaf coffee bag but put it through the machine, which is why I had a sleepless night. I was told by another member of staff when I checked out that they usually give decaf coffee in a cafetière - that would have been fine. As it was I was it ruined my night and left me shattered the next day, but hopefully they won't make the same mistake in future. My room was lovely and peaceful in the night but if there's entertainment in the bar you can hear it all as well as clattering about downstairs, so take ear plugs if you want or need to sleep before midnight.

    Room was nice with a sea view. Bed was very good size - more like a small double than single. Decent shower in the bathroom. Breakfast was very good - plenty of choice. Lunch and evening meal were also very tasty. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast staff.

    I had been given the room that was above the entrance to the property. There was quite a lot of noise from the rowdy patrons and unfortunately a lot of chairs being dragged over the floor.

    The breakfast was brilliant, like a 3 course meal. Set in a really nice location, it was dark when we dined but the view would have been incredible. The homemade pie was incredible! Very filling.

    On road parking at the rear a little cramped.

    Wonderful location with breathtaking view overlooking the park, beach and Firth. Our suite was huge - 1-bedroom flat with kitchen area actually. Food in the restaurant was very good and well priced. Portions are very large. Some starters are big enough for 2 to share.

    There was a group of us, we were scattering our parents ashes on the River Nairn, where they spent many happy holidays. Our stay was lovely, clean and very friendly staff, food exceptional. We where very fortunate that the sun came out for my parents final journey. Would stay there again. 🤗👍

    A pub hotel with a great atmosphere & friendly staff. Although there is no ground floor accommodation the staff were only to help with carrying our luggage. The location is very good with a beautiful view of the sea & the breakfast was excellent. Wide ranging choice & very well cooked.
