Top Culbin Sands Hotel Reviews

Kingsmills Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean bedroom with excellent bathroom. Breakfast was great. Would go again."

AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness

8/10 Good

"Building is under construction until summer and this was not mentioned anywhere before I booked. Due to this there is now no parking on site which is also not mentioned when you book. Night shift front desk was a total jerk and gave no information about anything so he should not be in the customer service industry. The rest of the staff however was fantastic and the location was very nice and close to all the restaurants and pubs so walking around was easy."

"We booked a last-minute trip to the Norton Hotel in Nairn and had an amazing time. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and our room was great. A special mention to Ivy, who served us breakfast in the morning. She was lovely and full of useful local information, which really helped us make the most of our visit. A wonderful stay—we’d happily recommend it!"

Firth Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived shortly after the check-in time of 1pm and were immediately made welcome. Room was accessed by a spiral staircase and a corridor. Not so handy if you have mobility issues. The room itself was spotless and the bed comfortable. Good shower but be aware the floor can get wet in front. We chose to eat in the restaurant and happily recommend you do likewise. The staff were exemplary throughout the stay."
