The Newton Hotel - Nairn

Set in 21 acres of mature parkland and gardens, bordering Nairn Golf Course - host of the Walker Cup in 1999 - the Newton Hotel, with 56 bedrooms, is an imposing building in a secluded location. The front of the hotel overlooks the grounds towards the course and the Moray Firth beyond. To the rear, the lawn surrounded by rhododendrons leads to a woodland area, from which deer have been known to make an appearance as twilight falls.

Built as a family home in 1872 and a hotel since 1951, in recent years The Newton has seen a number of improvements, including refurbishment of all bedrooms in the original building as well as the addition of The Highland Conference Centre and a wing of spacious master bedrooms.
