The guest house is over 200 years old and located on a quiet road. It is popular with those keen on golf, fishing, or seeking castles and malt whisky.

Nice comfortable and clean! Cozy bed and breakfast close to city center and public transport. Good placement for travelling around with public transport but they also offer parking. Good value for money with private bathrooms available. Our floor also had a tiny kitchen for the guests to use.

The property is around 34 km from Nairn Dunbar Golf Club, 34 km from Nairn Museum and 36 km from The Nairn Golf Club. The property is non-smoking and is located 24 km from Brodie Castle.

Lovely hosts, Cottage was well prepared with tea, coffee, milk, scones, and a couple of little bottles of wine. The cleanliness of the cottage was great. The space in the cottage is great as well, which is good as we came with 2 small dogs. We found the bed fantastic and probably the best we have slept in at a cottage. We went across to the owners Bar, Bramou Inn for food, which was also very good and well priced. Stayed for a couple of drinks as well and were made to feel very welcome by Marlyn, George, and the family. Will definitely be back here again.

Location is ideal for the nearby retail park and also within walking distance of the town centre. Would definitely stay again.

    Both Oldmills Garden and Wendy are absolute gems. The property and room are spotless, both the room and Wendy are warm and welcoming and the location is perfect if you like natural surroundings off the beaten path. And one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept on! No breakfast suited me better, but there is tea, coffee, cereal and toast, so you'll not go hungry at the start of the day. It was one of the loveliest stays I've had anywhere. Will be back!
