Half a mile from Nairn Beach, this Georgian house is an excellent base for families or friends bringing their four-pawed pals to explore the Moray Firth. With a wood burner and an enclosed garden, everything is set for a memorable escape with your wet-nosed sidekick.
Inside, you'll find a characterful home with coastal-inspired furnishings and calming tones. A super-king-size bedroom on the ground floor sits alongside a bathroom with an original cast-iron roll-top bath and separate shower – handy after a day spent exploring muddy tracks or wet beaches. The kitchen/dining area combines exposed beams and timber details with all the essentials to prepare meals, while the dining table gives everyone somewhere to refuel after a day outdoors. In the lounge, comfortable seating surrounds the TV and wood burner, creating a cosy retreat for both two- and four-legged guests. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, one with an additional daybed, although this room sleeps a maximum of two guests, plus a further shower room with WC. The enclosed, gravelled front garden gives your hound a secure outdoor area, with a table for morning coffee or sitting drying off after a damp walk. Private parking makes loading up with leads, towels and doggy essentials straightforward.
Head out for an early-morning stroll along the shore, with plenty of sand, fresh sea air and new scents to investigate, or wander towards Nairn harbour before stopping at one of the nearby cafes. For a longer outing, Findhorn Beach (16 miles) is a great choice for coastal walks, wildlife spotting and waterside adventures, while the beaches around Nairn and East Nairn provide further opportunities for sandy paws and seaside exploration. History can be combined with a good walk at Culloden Battlefield (12 miles), while Cawdor Castle and Gardens and Brodie Castle and Estate (both within 10 miles) bring woodland and countryside trails to your itinerary. Inverness (18 miles) is also within easy reach for shops, restaurants, galleries and a change of scenery.
