As Scottish as it gets. This historic 19th-century home sits on the edge of the coast – meaning seaside walks, drinks outside with a view, and if you dare, wild swimming in the North Sea. And with period features still intact and each room with its own personality, there's plenty of original character to soak up too. There's a live-in housekeeper, so no one needs to worry about tidying up. Location-wise, the whole group should be pleased – Nairn and Castle Stuart golf courses are just a stone's throw away, Inverness a short drive, and Cairngorms National Park is less than an hour away for Highland hiking. If you'd rather stay local, Nairn has plenty of cafés, restaurants, and pubs.
