Cute Beachfront Hotel
Lovely location right by the beach. Great bar and hang out area out front. Basic breakfast. Walkable to dining spots downtown.

nice place off the beaten path
pros: nice staff and remarkably quiet for a hotel attached to a restaurant and music venue!
cons: reserved a queen bed; had two single beds pushed together.

From checking in to checking out the staff were really helpful and attentive.
We ate in the restaurant twice in our four night stay and the food was fantastic. We even had the honor of being the first to choose off the new summer menu and it didn't disappoint.
The choice of beers/ ales and every spirit avilable at the bar was geat and prices were very fair.
Wednesday nights Jo and special guests was a lovely surprise and we really enjoyed the music.
And to cap it all off we got to see dolphins playing in the Moray Firth while enjoying our meal.

Start of Great Glen trip.
We booked a single night to rest between leaving Edinburgh and a slow trip down the Great Glen. What a wonderful surprise. The Bandstand is a lovely small inn & pub.
Friendly staff, comfy room & great location. We actually regretted leaving after only one night. Nairn is a lovely and quiet town. We would definitely stay again.
Be aware- all rooms are upstairs and there is no lift- which we’ve found to be typical in Scotland.

Very nice welcome. Fire alarm at night disconcerting naturally but no staff and everyone wondering what to do. Chef very off-putting. More of a pub than a hotel. Overpriced.

We’ve been to The Bandstand several times and it never disappoints. The accommodations are comfortable, the people are welcoming and helpful, the food is good, and they have good live music sometimes. The location is lovely- steps from the path along the beach and the river trail. We love The Bandstand and stay in Nairn rather than Inverness because of it. Nairn is a lovely little town on its own, but having a place to stay that checks all our boxes makes Nairn irresistible.

We stayed a couple nights and loved it! If no hip issues, it was 8-10 mins walk from train station. Its got beach view from breakfast table- which full breakfast is included and the only place we stayed the is trip that properly cooked the tomato! Delicious! So worth it. It was also the best bed of our 3 week trip! Good room space, convenient lunch or dinner and bar with local soft pub vibe. Owner was friendly. The beach was fun to look for treasures at. Town has very limited shopping and food options, but what we found for food was delicious. Would stay again! Thank you

Outstanding view from the room we had. Some parts of the property could do with refreshing e.g. the stair carpet and some of the dining room furniture.
The property does not have its own parking, but street parking was available. In spite of this we had a good stay with good food.

Despite a bit of waiting on my check in as they couldn't find the key. The staff was very friendly and the fact that they have a pub made the moment very pleasant. The room was ok. Confortable bed and lovely views to the sea. Good breakfast with sea views. Sad I couldn't stay for another night as they will have live music.
