Outstanding view from the room we had. Some parts of the property could do with refreshing e.g. the stair carpet and some of the dining room furniture. The property does not have its own parking, but street parking was available. In spite of this we had a good stay with good food.

Despite a bit of waiting on my check in as they couldn't find the key. The staff was very friendly and the fact that they have a pub made the moment very pleasant. The room was ok. Confortable bed and lovely views to the sea. Good breakfast with sea views. Sad I couldn't stay for another night as they will have live music.

Start of Great Glen trip.
We booked a single night to rest between leaving Edinburgh and a slow trip down the Great Glen. What a wonderful surprise. The Bandstand is a lovely small inn & pub. Friendly staff, comfy room & great location. We actually regretted leaving after only one night. Nairn is a lovely and quiet town. We would definitely stay again. Be aware- all rooms are upstairs and there is no lift- which we’ve found to be typical in Scotland.

The staff are very accommodating, And the room was outstanding and the view of the ocean was even better. The breakfast was more than expected in fact very good and the chef made things to order for each individual person. Great Little town with a lot of history well we’re to stop.
