  We had a great stay at the lovely property.

  Good location, everything we needed was in the house and everywhere was nice and clean ! We arrived late in the afternoon, we travelled with two cars, two couples as we were touring Scotland. It was our first time in the property so we parked in front of the garage to unload. As we got out of the casr we were immediatley approached by the neigbour to kindly move the car as her father always parks there ? After parking one car in the garage we moved the other car further up the small lane only to be politely confronted by another neighbour about how we should use a carpark a few 100 yards away as the car may get "damaged" if it was left there (outside her house) Its obvious the people living on the street are well versed when two cars arrive they jump on you quickly. We found it to be intimidating (we dont like upsetting locals but we were unaware of the "rules" until reading the pack inside the house). The experience did leave us a little shell shocked TBH, they obviously dont like having a holiday let on the street and it may be worth the owners having a word with both of them to ask them to wait until the people are actually in the property before they start approaching anyone about where to park. Difficult one to manage. We could of legally parked anywhere along the lane but chose not to do so, some people may well not do that ?

  We really liked the property.

  It is in an excellent position for Nairn town centre (2 mins walk) and also the beautiful Nairn beach (5 - 10 min walk). The house had everything we needed as two families (7 people). All the facilities were good and clean. Beds comfortable. Showers with good power. Comfortable lounge with views across the river. We didn't have any issue with the parking (or neighbour) even though we had a 9 seater van. We chose to park in the unmarked areas under the trees next to the river rather than directly behind the property (in line with the garage). The location was great for exploring. We went to Loch Ness, Foyers, Fort Augustus, Inverness, Culbin Forest, Chanonry Point, Aviemore, Tomatin Distillery. Unfortunately Cawdor Castle was closed as out of season. In Nairn there's a lovely bookshop and a few independent shops. We had a lovely Chinese, Curry and Fish & Chips! Plus a quick trip to Jackos Bar (a few doors down from the house) and visited the cafe at the harbour too. We were very lucky with the weather as Storm Babet had been active the week before but Nairn lived up to its claim of the warmest and sunniest part of Scotland! The owners turned up as we were leaving and they are a lovely couple - it was a pleasure to bump into them and have a quick chat.

  Coorie Doon is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.

  Myself, 2 kids and my parents spent a wonderful, relaxing week there in October. The cottage, while being spacious, felt very cosy and comfortable. The downstairs bathroom has a big, freestanding bath and a very spacious shower. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. WiFi connectivity was excellent. The kids loved that we were only a 2 minute walk away from a lovely, sandy beach and enjoyed walking and playing there every day. Communication with the property owner was great and he provided lots of useful info. Nairn itself is a lovely town with a good collection of shops and we didn’t feel the need to wander much further afield. That said, if you did wish to do a bit of exploring, Nairn is perfectly placed for heading to the North East and North West. I’d highly recommend a stay at Coorie Doon!

  If you're in a hurry - great property beautifully presented, go & enjoy!

  If you've a bit more time - Coorie Down is in a wonderful location barely 2 minutes walk from the beach, but also an easy short walk to Nairn's town centre. The owners have ensured guests will want for (almost) nothing, with a well appointed kitchen & a very comfortably furnished sitting room. The king sized bed was also hugely comfortable and the provided linen and towels felt luxurious. The wifi was also well up to the task, and for our arrival, the owners had left a small selection of welcome goodies to start us off. What stood out was the level of cleanliness throughout - the presentation of Coorie Down was, to our minds, exemplary. One minor issue surfaced during our stay, and owner Paul responded at once and ensured a replacement item was delivered the following day. Fantastic all round.

  On the first evening of our stay, we picked up fish and chips from the local chippy.

  “So you’re slumming it down in Fishertown?” he asks with a cheeky glint in his eye. He knew only too well this was a great area to stay in Nairn. Close to an immaculate beach, right by a beautiful river walk and near to some great places to eat…..and that’s before you get into the house! The house itself is just perfect. Very well presented, clean and fully equipped, it is situated in a great part of town. The owners have clearly considered their guests’ needs and have made every effort to ensure our stay is comfortable and relaxed. Our dog loved it - so much that he lay on his back up against the living room window on the morning we were due to leave so we couldn’t put on his harness - he didn’t want to leave! Of course we want to return - it was truly fabulous.
