Main image: Kingsmills Hotel.
Golf View, Nairn
This 4 star hotel has a lovely location on the shores of the Moray Firth, with gardens sweeping down to Nairn beach and views out to the Black Isle. As its name suggests, it is also only a short stroll from Nairn Golf Club.
It boasts impressive leisure facilities including swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts and Sonas Spa. Much of the hotel has recently been refurbished and you will find a traditional, comfortable interior offering a warm, Highland welcome.
There is a selection of dining options within the hotel. The Fairways Restaurant offers a finer dining experience and has just been awarded AA Rosette status. Alternatively, the Links Brasserie offers a more informal meal where you can enjoy the views of the coastline and beyond.
Inverness is only a short drive away, as is Culloden battlefield and Cawdor Castle.

Royal Marine, Brora
This Highland property was originally designed as a private country house in the early 1900s by the renowned Scottish architect, Sir Robert Lorimer. The elegance of that period has been carefully retained whilst bringing the hotel’s facilities into the modern era. Carved wooden fireplaces and a sweeping stairway lead you to the 22 individually styled bedrooms.
The hotel also boasts its own indoor pool and fully equipped spa, leisure club and gym. There is also a choice of three restaurants including the Garden Room, an all-day Cafe Bar, Hunters Bistro and the award-winning, Lorimer Dining Room serving freshly cooked local seafood, meat and game.
Set amid glorious coastal scenery, with delightful gardens, including a putting green for those wishing to take in a bit of practice after dinner!
