The location was great for the beach and other walks.Didn’t care too much for the very low sloping bedroom walks though.

Thank you so much for your review, Barbara! We're delighted you enjoyed the location and all the beautiful walks nearby 🌊 You make a fair point about the sloping bedroom walls — it is very much a feature of the cottage's character! Cosy Cottage is a traditional old fisherman's cottage, and as the saying goes, people were a little more compact back then 😄 It's exactly that kind of quirky, original charm that makes the cottages of Fishertown so special and unlike anywhere else. We hope it didn't detract too much from your stay, and that we might welcome you back again soon!

Walking distance to the beach allowed for morning and evening beach-combing.

Great little property close to the beach, Inverness, Culloden, Loch Ness, Fort George…tons of things to do and then return to the beach for a glass of wine relaxing to the sounds of the ocean.

Would Go Back!

Very nice, well maintained property in an excellent location. Walking distance to beach, restaurants and Pub. An excellent central location for day trips throughout the Highlands. Street that the cottage is on is very narrow and parking area is tight, but parking on main street is available. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Fabulous little cottage

Loved this property which has been renovated to the highest standard. During a particularly cold spell it was warm and cozy; the central heating was a delight! The location is perfect for both the town centre and the beach, and there is a great pub just around the corner serving damn fine food! I’m sure we will be back.

Great spot!

Very much enjoyed our stay here! The house was perfect for my wife and I for a long weekend stay. We didn’t use the TV or the kitchen much but the dining room was useful and the bedroom was good - as mentioned in the listing, the ceiling height is a bit low but wasn’t a problem. The location is good - right off the main drag and near the harbor. Communication with the host was great and check-in was seamless. Would recommend!

Adorable cottage

We visited from Buffalo, NY during early October. Nairn is a cute little village right by the sea, full of Scottish charm. The cottage was comfortable, well decorated and the hostess is VERY organized. We appreciated the booklet left providing information on the cottage, near by restaurants and things to do. The beach is also a two minute walk. I have nothing but nice things to say about our stay!

The highlight of our trip!

Cozy cottage was exactly that! Everything was spotless and oh so comfortable. Great beds and linens, and the cottage was equipped with everything one could think of. Basic pantry supplies were there to enable meal preparation if desired. The location was fantastic. We enjoyed beach walks and the charm of the neighbourhood. We were able to do day trips to many local points of interest. After many busy travel days, we will always remember our relaxed time at Cozy Cottage. It truly was a “home away from home!’ Thank you Stephanie!
