Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Nairn

We had a great 3 night stay 9th to 11th of June 2025. The mattresses and bedding was perfect. The rooms all well decorated and furnished. The kitchen had everything one could need. The garden was lovely to sit in. The coop was close by - easy walking distance -as was the beach and the Firth Hotel where I can recommend the fish pie.

Katie’s charming home near the red castle ruins was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in peace and magic. The cottage was beautifully kept, fully stocked, and incredibly comfortable—every detail thoughtfully arranged to make us feel at home. The setting is something out of a storybook. Waking up next to the historic ruins and soaking in the beauty of the surroundings was unforgettable. The hot tub was a highlight, especially after a day of travel. Our kids were thrilled with the darts and ping pong, and everyone slept like a dream—so quiet, so cozy. If Scotland weren’t so far away, we’d be back in a heartbeat. This may be the only trip we ever take as a family to Scotland, and we’re beyond grateful that Katie’s magical cottage was part of our journey. Thank you for everything!

Sheila’s place is beautiful, clean and very close to all amenities. Sheila was very helpful and took time to show us the house etc. Sheila is always responsive. The house is nice and the decor was amazing. We cannot thank enough to Sheila for making our stay lovely and comfortable.

We cannot fully put into words how special Elizabeth’s place is. By far, it is one of the best Air BnB’s we’ve stayed at in the Highlands. If you’re looking for a peaceful hub to visit all the sights. If you’re looking for a refuge, you don’t need to leave the property. As a host, Elizabeth went above and beyond, anticipating our needs, providing recommendations, and even offering a welcome basket.

We absolutely loved staying here, perfect location , only a few minutes and your by the harbour and beautiful beaches where you can walk for miles. This cottage was perfect and peaceful, and was so quiet. The rooms are light and airy and very clean, everything you want is provided . The bed was so comfortable , Iv never slept so well , I think it was a combination of a great mattress, bedding and sea air ! Booklets are provided with useful information, and a lovely welcome gift as well . Great communication with Iain and Helen, lovely hosts. Nairn shops are only 5 mins away with everything you need, Restaurants , top tip either book or arrive before 8pm :-) We came by train , 10 min walk away. Thank you Iain and Helen for hosting - we thoroughly enjoyed staying at your cottage.

Great place with tons of room. The townhome was very clean and had everything we needed. Loved the cookies, teas, cereals and milk, it was a very nice touch. We definitely needed to stay longer!

The house was beautiful, nice ambience, very lovingly decorated, very clean and you could tell that a lot of love is in the detail. Kate responded to questions immediately and was very nice. The location was also very good, close to a small supermarket, cafes and shops about 10 minutes' walk. We felt very comfortable and all in all it was charming!!! We highly recommend this place!!

What a lovely place to stay! The room was spacious, even bigger than it looks in the photos, and absolutely spotless. Immaculate! The bed was incredibly comfortable and we had a great night’s sleep. The peaceful surroundings definitely helped with that. Bethany was very responsive and helpful so everything went smoothly. We also really appreciated all the thoughtful little touches she added to the room - her kindness was felt everywhere. It was worth every penny — highly recommended!

Puffin parlour was a wonderful home away from home. Michelle was east to talk to and communicate with and provided many extra useful items within the flat. It was centrally located so was easy for us to walk to many of the local attractions and was also easy to get to train and bus stations. The flat was clean and well tended and big enough that we felt we had plenty of room to cook and relax.

This was the perfect place to stay in inverness!! Close to everything. Well appointed, clean, basically anything you would need while visiting. Jill responded to all messages so quickly.

Kevin's apartment was absolutely fabulous. 4 of us (2 couples) were very comfortable there and really pleased with pretty much everything about it!! The apartment was clean, spacious, comfortable and has brilliant views of Spey Bay and Lossiemouth East Beach. The listing details are very accurate and pretty much anything we needed was available in the apartment. Good restaurants were in easy walking distance and there was ample parking for our cars at the apartment. Kevin was very helpful regarding check in and apartment access and was very responsive to any questions we had. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, central, stay on the Moray Coast - and hope to come back again in future!!

Beautifully presented accommodation! Everything we needed plus more! Bread and milk was a nice touch. Wonderful setting close to city centre and train station.

The Airbnb was in a brilliant location. We walked around Inverness from the accommodation. The airbnb had everything we needed and more Kath was a brilliant host. Thank you for the delicious breakfast.

Lovely place to stay Freda was very friendly

Great place close enough to the main area of town. Very clean and comfortable space.

Heather’s place is a home from home and includes everything you would need for a comfortable stay in peaceful surroundings. It was in a great location for researching family tree members in Elgin and the outlying villages. Coming back to the apartment after spending the day in windy cemeteries, was a blessing! 😂 We will be back.

We loved this place, it was really cozy, we felt right at home and Donald was very nice and helpful.

This apartment was outstanding and Hazel has given much attention to detail and nothing has been forgotten. We had everything we needed and more. The place was spotless and had beautiful furnishings and we all got that cosy, relaxed vibe the minute we arrived. Lovely views over the river, and you can catch a glimpse of the sea over the rooftops. A few little extras were provided for my son's 30th birthday which made it even more special. We all had a great time here and can definitely recommend, it will not disappoint. Thankyou.

Andrew’s place was a perfect base for a few days of hiking. It is a short walk to the train and bus, and there is a small grocery store even closer. The place was clean and had a nice modern kitchen. After our days of walking in the highlands, we appreciated showers or baths with lots of pressure and hot water. The idea of paying for the heat you use makes some sense too.

Both Linda and George were great hosts. Friendly, well predisposed, in short: excellent. As for the property, it is very comfortable and pleasant, and it provides a lot of peace to those who stay there. I would definitely visit them again!

Great area and facilities.

Most enjoyable stay . Enjoyed immensely, I was made comfortable from the start . Very nice indeed,fully recommend and if I’m in the area I will be looking to book . Best wishes for the future. 🙋‍♂️🐕🦮👩🏼‍🍳

Very cute apartment that had everything we needed and as a bonus, there is a little grocery/convenience store within walking distance. Alistair was always quick to respond. We stayed here a few nights at the end of our wonderful trip to Scotland, due to its proximity to the airport.

Lovely flat, spotless and has everything that anyone could need. Great location and very responsive host, definitely recommend!
