  We had a very helpful email from the owners the day before we arrived which was very informative and welcome.

  Although we had an enjoyable week at the Doocot and its proximity to to the beach is fantastic - there are some things that need to be addressed for the comfort of future visitors. With a weekly rental of £1k we would have expected a little more and doesn’t stand comparison with the more expensive property we stayed in the week before in the Cairngorms. More wine glasses required - there were 2 - one huge, 1 small. No tea pot. More small tables required in lounge - nowhere to put a mug/glass if using sofa in front of tv apart from on the floor. The TV needs to be properly connected so you can if you wish, watch mainstream tv easily - eg the Scotland v England game last week was inaccessible No visitor book. Presumably it is intended to plaster the wall around the fireplace? The fridge is too small, it will be difficult/impossible for many to access without getting on their hands and knees. It didn’t seem to us to keep things v cold - eg a bottle of wine had to go into the freezer. The property description needs to make it clear that there is no parking immediately by the property- this would be a significant problem for some; as would the very steep stairs. Both would be beyond some people

  The property's well situated with great views.

  Decoration and finish of the property inside leaves alot to be desired, with flaking paint on walls as well as evidence of what looks like mould in the dining room, caused by dampness in wall. Bathroom upstairs decorated in a hurry. Shower screen leaks onto what looks like MDF boarding which has swollen. Heating perfectly adequate with lots of hot water. Blinds in dining room don't shut properly so lack of privacy in this part of the house otherwise pretty good. Good selection of books and game's etc. Sorry to see at least 7 dead millipedes around the accommodation including 2 in the game's drawer !! I would like to note that the interior staircase was difficult for myself as I have mobility problems, I'm pleased to say I managed alright taking extra care. The carpet in the bunk room was stained and has seen better days. Outside area was pretty good. I didn't intend to go in with a crical eye but it could be so much better if issues were addressed and it was given the finish it deserves.

  No faults, no issues, nothing missing. It was truly a home from home, spacious, comfortable, warm, excellent decor and every appliance and comfort we have at home. The log burner really heated up the living room fast although the decent central heating is fabulous for heating the whole house. Abundance of everything, towels, dishcloths, bedding, blankets, cushions, pillows. The rooms are well decorated and relaxing. Location is perfect for walking into town, or to the beach or down to the harbour, or along the road to the Bandstand to view the sunset over the beach. Fabulous house, fabulous location. Hazel is brilliant as a Host, kept in touch, before during and after our stay. Makes a difference.

• June - Verified booking

  Third time staying at the accommodation we were extremely disappointed in cleanliness and security from when we arrived the patio door was open and there was an unclean smell from the house.

  The issues with the patio and downstairs room blind were the same as last year 2 out of 4 of the recliner seats where broken and not comfortable to sit in. Several Items in the kitchen were dirty and had to be washed before they could be used. The first was switched off on arrival and inadequate for a group of three to stay. 1 wine for accommodation that sleeps five had to go and buy our own. No shower mat in the en suite in the master bedroom

  The location! Close to the beach and centre of Nairn. Easy to park in the street outside the house. We had two cars. Very nice contact with the owner, She called to check if all was fine. She had also bought some groceries for us. All was perfect. (But if I should live there over time, I would prefer to update the furnitures..they were a bit outdated incl cd player without Bluetooth or simular). Loved Nairn and very nice beach !
