    There was a spider that had to be dispatched which I felt bad about. The TV was located in a spot that meant you couldn't see it very well from the bed because the four poster columns are in the way but really... for the comfort and size of the room, that's what they call a first world problem.

    We wished we could have stayed here for more than one night. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The owner/manager was very helpful and booked a table for us for dinner nearby which was greatly appreciated. The breakfast was superb and served in a beautiful dining room with other guests. We felt like were residents in a real manor house. The Bronze Age cist (ancient burial stone) in the grounds was also very interesting. If you like golf there is a heap of information provided in the room about the many golf courses in the area. Nairn Beach was also a nice surprise.

    Leaving :-)

    From start to finish the property, the hosts are amazing, the house is fabulous, the attention to every detail is superb. The owners are delightful, nothing is too much trouble! The grounds surrounding the house are beautiful and I saw my first Red Squirrel in about 30 years - how Ian maintains this all on his own is beyond me! Breakfast served in the delightful Dining Room with bone china, tablecloths, silver and the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon were out of this world and washed down with the filter coffee, set me up for a day of visiting the delights surrounding its location

    Nothing really.

    We only stayed one night due to travel plans. The building was older but facilities worked great. We felt like we traveled back in time. The staff was fabulous! Our room pristine and cozy with a lovely view. It was our favorite bed on our trip. I wish we could have stayed additional nights and enjoyed the beach nearby longer. The breakfast was delicious and with a gorgeous table set up. Would definitely come back!!

    There was nothing we didn't love.

    Everything. Property was beautiful with walking available around the home. Beautiful gardens not far from Nairn/Inverness. Very clean, comfortable rooms and attentive staff with delicious breakfast and a wonderful host. Lovely space to sit downstairs and outside. We will absolutely make it a point to return to this B&B next time we're in Scotland.

    I stayed at Carnach House for a few days with my father, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Ian was a fantastic host — warm, attentive, and full of great recommendations for places to visit and things to see in the area. The breakfast was varied, delicious, and freshly prepared to order each morning. I had requested twin beds instead of a double, as I was travelling with my dad, and Ian responded quickly and kindly accommodated the request. The beds were extremely comfortable, with soft, luxurious pillows, and everything in the room was spotless. We had one minor issue with the shower being slightly blocked, but Ian was very receptive and took it into consideration straight away. Thank you for everything — we hope to return again to the Highlands. What a marvellous part of the world, and our stay at Carnach House truly made the whole experience even more special.
