Located at the heart of the friendly seaside town of Nairn, this first-floor apartment has been beautifully designed for comfort and practicality, and is ideal for couples, friends or small families. From the door, you can set out on tranquil strolls beside the River Nairn, which flows by the cottage, or hike alongside the river to the iconic 14th-century Cawdor Castle, 6 miles away. Nairn – known as ‘the Brighton of the North’ – has no fewer than four beautiful, sandy beaches, perfect for strolls, sandcastle building, water sports and dolphin spotting. There is also a variety of independent shops, and a choice of places to eat and drink, from wine bars and coffee shops to restaurants and takeaways. Golfers are spoilt for choice, too, with two award-winning championship courses within 1.5 miles. If you want to venture further afield, the railway station will link you easily to vibrant Inverness (16 miles).
From the shared entrance, head up the stairs to the first floor and your front door. Step inside to find an inviting home-from-home, with plenty of light and pale walls complemented by jewel-toned soft furnishings. The lounge/diner has delightful views over the gently flowing river, fields and trees. Here, plush seating is gathered round a Smart TV, ready for an evening of laid-back entertainment with your favourite show, and in the far corner there’s a dining table at which you can enjoy sumptuous meals, perhaps created using delicious local produce. The adjacent kitchen includes everything the cook will need to conjure up anything from hearty breakfasts to family suppers, with an air fryer for speed and even a Nespresso coffee machine to help get you going in the mornings. The bedrooms consist of a king-size and a compact twin, both offering the chance of a dreamy night’s sleep. They share a shower room with a large, walk-in shower and a WC.
The private, enclosed patio is another special spot, ideal for breathing in the fresh Scottish air and sitting back with a drink or a meal as you listen to the water flowing beside you. Making arriving and departing easy, you’ll also have private parking beside the apartment for one car.
