Newton Hotel

Winter in the Highlands takes on an eerie majesty, whatever the weather. There is a grace and tranquillity about the scenery that makes it the perfect destination for an escape from the city.

Today’s Big Deal heads north to Nairn for a break at the charming and elegant Newton Hotel, long a favourite with discerning Highland travellers.

Highland heritage

Dating from the 17th century, the Newton is set in 21 acres of mature parkland overlooking the Moray Firth to the Black Isle. The beauty of the setting has been attracting visitors for decades. Charlie Chaplin was a notable repeat visitor, relishing the peace of the Newton after the hurly-burly of Hollywood.

Why not emulate the Little Tramp and enjoy a classy break at this refined centre of fine Highland hospitality?

Elegant guestrooms

Available seven days a week, the Big Deal option one is for two people to have an overnight stay in a standard double or twin room with a full Scottish breakfast each morning and a bottle of wine in the room.

Option two is for a two night stay for two in a standard double or twin room, with full Scottish breakfast both mornings and a three course dinner in the hotel’s restaurant on the first night.

Elegantly furnished and all ensuite, the hotel’s bedrooms have facilities such as a hot drinks tray, WiFi, iron and board plus room service.

Stylish dining

The hotel restaurant sources the finest local produce for a menu that has a strong Scottish accent. Locally sourced beef and seafood are specialities. The menu is complemented by an extensive selection of fine wines.

For a more informal meal, you can also enjoy a light lunch or supper in the hotel lounge bar.

See & do

With miles of sandy beaches by Nairn and the Cairngorms nearby, visitors will have no shortage of great walks in the surrounding areas, and the chance to spot dolphins in the Moray Firth.

Whisky connoisseurs will be in paradise in this part of the Highlands, with the Speyside whisky trail taking in the region’s famous distilleries.
