“Muthu Newton Hotel presents an appealing, old-school charm, particularly evident in its grand interior and extensive grounds where the Highland cows are a delightful presence. While some areas show their age, this contributes to the character, and the spacious, clean rooms and attentive staff, especially at breakfast, make for a comfortable stay. It's a place that clearly holds onto its history while providing a solid experience close to Nairn's town and beach.”
