Arriving here last Monday , the lady on reception was most professional and courteous , explaining where the breakfast would be , the whisky room , the restaurant etc .. my room was detailed as a single ( snug ? ) room and it was perfect for my needs as an overnight stop single traveller . The room was well appointed , the tv was a little off the mark being as nowadays most hotels of good calibre have wall mounted products rather than this little effort that was perched on a little table at the...

The hotel is 2 minutes from the beach. The hotel was easy to find with free on site parking. Check in was quick and easy. The receptionist was friendly and helpful.
The room was clean and comfortable with good facilities in the room.
Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and there was a wide selection. We had an evening meal in the hotel which was great, especially as we enjoyed a view over the estuary.
In the evenings we enjoyed watching the sunset over the estuary whilst sipping cocktails....

Property was as described and as remembered (it was my granny’s old cottage!) . The welcome pack of goodies was a nice surprise. The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated with a cozy homely feel. I especially loved the fluffy white towels provided! I was put in touch with Debbie after I booked and she was great at communicating before,during and after the stay. I booked through Hotels.com but it’s a Sykes cottage and due to this Sykes wouldn’t let me amend any details through their app...

Phenomenal stay at the Sail Loft. I stayed a few nights after the Kadampa meditation retreat and absolutely loved my stay. The location is excellent, amazing walking opportunities and the beach is a 30 second walk from the front door!
You can get whatever you need from the coop in town. The place is well heated and all cooking and cleaning amenities are provided.
Place was spotless on entry and had everything I needed. Amazing price too
10/10 & I’ll be back soon

Wonderful house. I have had many visits to Nairn over the years and this is my #1 for Accommodation. Whole house was immaculate. Location right in the heart of everything yet peaceful right beside the river. Very generous welcome pack too.
We booked again for 2026 as soon as we arrived.

The place was perfect for what we needed. The house is ideal for a couple and 2 kids. We only needed one room but the place has everything you could want for a long stay. The host was great and has thought of everything you might be looking for while visiting the town of Portsoy. On my next visit I'll definitely check back in to see if it's available.
