Muthu Newton Hotel (Near Inverness Airport)

Awesome location if you are playing Nairn Golf Club. You can literally walk from hotel to the club's driving range. Reasonably priced Scottish breakfast. Its also a lovely short walk to downtown Nairn and the Nairn train station. Hotel looks to be a beautiful former manor home. Fun historical connection to Charlie Chaplin.

Like most manor homes, it could use a little refreshing. There were some loose tiles, odd renovations and items such as carpet which are a little past its prime.

Beautiful building, very quiet. There was a wedding on when we stayed but this caused no problem at all. Bar man, Karel, gave excellent service above and beyond expectation. Chaplins restaurant was good, quiet when we visited, nice decor.

Breakfast service was slow. Hot food is cooked to order, which is great but was too slow. Forewarned is forearmed. Carpets a bit tired but otherwise in good condition.

Beautiful settings, great service, food and staff. Fantastic value

The staff where we had breakfast were very friendly, and the croissants were delicious.

I was disappointed about the cleaning, very dirty everywhere, the breakfast very poor, and no option to pay by cash in all the hotel: restaurant, bar… The water was not bottled; it was clearly tap water. They would only provide it if you specifically asked for it at reception, which I found quite inconvenient. On the penultimate day of our stay, the room was only partially cleaned. The bathroom towels were left on the floor and the bathroom bin was not emptied. I had to report this to reception, and we get clean towels. In the evening, we could hear cracking sounds coming from the ceiling, which was a little scary😅 There were also cobwebs everywhere…

Historic House

Expensive

Les vaches devant l’hôtel

La propreté Le manque de personnel et le manque d amiabilité Le petit déjeuner était immonde

Location was nice and staff were very friendly

Foyer carpet was very tired and torn upstairs looked like it needed replaced décor could have been better Needs modernised.

Personeel, gebouw en locatie

Het had wat levendiger gekunt

Beautiful grounds, comfortable public rooms, old Hollywood style decor, friendly staff. Breakfast was great both mornings, good choice and freshly prepared.

Bedrooms were clean and beds comfortable but decor bit shabby, needing some upgrading as were the bathrooms. Dinner was mediocre and quite expensive.

The gardens and driveway were stunning

Staff at check in, room was extremely tired and well over priced. Very noisy from other guests leaving extremely early in the morning. No food available from early, no room service.

Het domein van het hotel is prachtig. De medewerkers zijn heel vriendelijk. Ook het ontbijt was heel vers. De warme gerechten bij het ontbijt worden aan de tafel geserveerd. Je krijgt grote porties.

De kamer was een upgrade omdat men geen kamer met een dubbel bed kon geven. Deze kamer was erg ruim, maar verouderd. Zo zaten er scheuren in de gordijnen en een scheur in de boxspring, het tapijt was vies en niet goed gereinigd. In de badkamer was de vloer vernieuwd, maar de badkamermeubelen niet. De natuursteen lavabo is versleten, de douche is zodanig oud dat de schimmel in hoeken en kantjes niet meer weg te poetsen is. Het is een duur hotel, voor deze prijs en een kamer met een 'upgrade', mag er wel een haardroger en een minibar of koelkastje aanwezig zijn.

Wunderschönes Haus in einem riesigen Park.

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, unpersönlich, viele Services nichf mehr verfügbar.

Lovely old stately home feel about the place, really beautiful ..good location too.

Nothing really, the small entry/ exit road to and from the hotel ( lovely tree lined route) can be difficult to join at the main road, however this is just the way it is, and it’s not a complaint, just something to be aware of.

Good location for airport

Room would be best described as tired and we were upgraded , there were a number of issues in the bathroom which indicated a lack of maintenance and in particular I would ask that staff pay careful attention to the mirror in the bathroom and shape etched into it. My other main gripe would be the inability of the hotel to provide any dinner option for us as guests other than 6pm or 8pm which I would suggest was due to a large coach party staying that evening , whilst it is understandable that causes issues only emailing other guests asking if they want dinner in the days before their stay asking them if they wish to eat somewhat spoiled the evening having to leave to find dinner options. Perhaps knowing that the coach party was staying guests could have been asked well before their stay asking week they arrive

Kind staff and nice food

A tired looking hotel. Maintenance needed. Sparce spirit offering for mixed drinks.

Great Hotel a little run down.

General Maintaince could be improved. Trimming around the lift buttons should have been reoplaced.

This hotel has clearly seen better days and is currently operating more like a basic hostel than a 4-star property. How it maintains its 4-star rating is complete mystery to me. The rooms lack basic amenities—there was no fridge in the room, and the bar didn't even offer any light snacks. The atmosphere is further spoiled by a massive portrait of the owner in the entrance hall, which comes across as pure self-glorification. It's my opinion. I cannot recommend this hotel. The food is best avoided altogether. A stark reminder that MGM Muthu is definitely not MGM Grand!

We stayed at Muthu Newton Hotel with two families and booked five rooms, which were kindly upgraded to Executive Rooms. We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel has its own unique vibe and incredible architecture—it genuinely feels like staying in a palace! The location is a little away from Inverness, but the peaceful surroundings and beautiful historic character make up for it. Overall, a memorable stay and definitely worth experiencing.

Seagull noise in the night.

A Hotel of a grand style, with walking access to the beach and to walk around Nairn. The Railway Station is close. Comfortable room, also a nice bar sitting room. Restaurant was comfortable.

The breakfast was lovely. Although it wasn't that far from town, it's not the best for people who aren't in the best of health.

The carpets have seen better days.

Beautiful place

Not alot of space in rooms

Location, lovely grounds, comfortable room, good food

Driveway needs potholes repairing

Environnement agréable. Le bar et son barman.

Le sevice est très moyen. Le restaurant est cher pour une qualité plus que médiocre.

Grand old historic building Great food and service Extremely comfortable room Close to Inverness Airport

Nothing

Did not have breakfast

I’ve had breakfast in the past and not great.

Frühstück nachträglich gebucht - war gut. Lage hervorragend

The seating in the Charlie Chaplin Restaurant, in particular the large silver couches were extremely uncomfortable and made eating a challenging experience!

Très beau château-hôtel qui nous a permis de faire un voyage dans le temps. Suite TRÈS grande, propre et confortable. Merci pour la coupe de fruits et les biscuits !

Gute Lage, nah am Meer. Um Inverness zu erreichen, ist jedoch ein Auto nötig. Etwas außerhalb. Schöne Architektur, früher sicher mal eine gute Adresse. Schöner Golfplatz direkt in der Nähe.

Ziemlich abgewohnt. Renovierungsstau. Anbau fügt sich nicht harmonisch in das Originalgebäude ein. Vor der Tür ein paar schnöde Kisten als Aschenbecher, welche auch nicht regelmäßig geleert wurden. Teppiche nicht gut gereinigt.

Great price and great location.

A bit dated but charming.

Perfect

All good

Het personeel

Matig hotel met muffe kamers, ee hadden een hotelkamer in “the courtyarrd”. Wat een slechte ervaring: zo oud en zo muf….ze zouden de kamers en het gebouw eens dringend moeten vernieuwen. Raar systeem om gebouw binnen te komen, kamer enkel toegankelijk met fysieke sleutel. Op een plaatje voor een kasteel best leuk, maar wij boeken voortaan een ander hotel.

It’s a lovely classic style property with green grounds

It needs an interior uplift. The property is very basic and shabbily maintained

Notre chambre était très agréable, un lit spacieux et une immense salle de bain. Le barman de l’hôtel a été adorable et le rapport qualité prix du restaurant est plus que correct. Nous avons adoré

Rien

Hotel in a nice setting in the country side. Comfortable bed in a large room.

Location was great plenty of parking etc. Grounds are lovely, and staff very welcoming. evening meal was presented well and cooked to perfection. Bedroom was well equipped and a four poster bed!

Breakfast was awful, over cooked meat and undercooked eggs. Please needs a lot of cleaning and updating. Bed wasnt the best felt very 'used'

Good full English breakfast and dinner. All staff excellent and friendly

No mineral water

Un lugar precioso, con una decoración exquisita.

Me gustó todo

Room was a lovely size but need a freshen up decorative wise.

Heritage building , Great staff

Out-dated facilities and not accessibility friendly.

Good location for airport

Food was not great and some areas looked tired

The staff kept the bar open when we arrived so we could have a nice drink together. The main building was very grand and impressive

The room smelled like damp, and was in a separate building and just wasn’t very nice for the price

La struttura è davvero molto bella nelle parti esterne

L'interno è datato, ma tutto sommato abbastanza curato. La camera, invece, pur essendo molto grande, aveva la finestra rotta, non si chiudeva e abbiamo dormito con la finestra aperta, per fortuna non faceva molto freddo. Il bagno abbastanza pulito ma datato.

Great location, lovely grounds, large comfortable room, good breakfast

Some public areas could do with a bit of investment. Suspect this is working progress.

Nice location

Noisy seagulls

Lovely building and surroundings. Friendly staff.

All a bit tired looking. Weak water flow in shower and poor internet.

Good location. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Lounge was comfortable and had a cosy feel. Lovely old house.

We arrived at hotel entrance and cigarette butts were all over entrance steps. Not a good first impression. They were never cleaned as still there 2 days later. Bedroom decor was tired . Windows had dirt inside and out. Paintwork dirty. Such a shame as lovely old building but needs a major upgrade.

Location

It was a bit out of date in terms of style and facilities. Clearly hadn’t had any money spent on it but the location was what we were after.

Le bâtiment ancien , les chambres , le parc

Rien

On a abimé un bâtiment qui d'antan a dû être un très bel hôtel: matériaux et décoration de mauvaise qualité et de mauvais goût. Rien à voire avec celle d'origine. Qualité du petit-déjeuner fort médiocre. Service négligé

The hotel is fantastic very close to an excellent beach Large bedroom and bathroom with separate showers

N/a

Loved the breakfast, the highland cows and the building itself. The room was super cool.

The million seagulls or gulls screaming all night. If they had AC it wouldn’t have been that bad but since it was so hot we had to have the windows open.

Lokalizacja

Brud i robaki.

Lage und Ambiente war sehr schön

Als Erstes, der unfreundliche Manger, der nicht auf die Fragen und Beschwerden eingegangen ist und nur sein geschultes, kaltes Managergehabe an den Tag gelegt hat. Der Grund dafür war ein ausgebuchtes Hotel, wegen einer Schottischen Hochzeit und wir. Vorher wäre ich gerne informiert worden, wegen der Hochzeit, wir hatten ja schon Wochen davor gebucht und bei dem Wissen hätten wir lieber zeitig umgebucht. So bleibt eine lärmende, schlaflose Nacht in meiner Erinnerung und der pampige Manger.

A truly impressive building in spectacular surroundings, with highland cattle in the field in front and views out over the Moray Firth. Very comfortable bed in our spacious upgraded room. Decent breakfast, friendly and attentive staff.

Sadly this grand old hotel has seen better days, and is very tired in places, with loose fittings, flaking paint and worn, stained carpets. The hot water in the bathroom was almost scalding, with no warning. The room was on the front of the hotel in direct sunlight, but only one of the two windows opened, and even then only by a few inches, making the room unbearably hot. Whilst it cooled later, keeping the window open at night meant we were woken around 5.30 am by the tour coach drivers having a loud conversation directly below our window.

L'emplacement, le charme de l'ancien dans ce superbe château et son parc, proche de la mer

Chambre un peu triste et moquettes pas nettoyées Le service de restauration n'est sûrement plus adapté à la demande.

The hotel is very comfortable and looks amazing. It is in a good location and close to the beach. The staff were efficient and pleasant and took good care of us. Loved the field with he highland cows close by.

I can't think of anything.

The location of the hotel is stunning, only a short walk through a calm residential area to the beach. The building itself is impressive, albeit in need of some upgrading to the deco and amenities inside. Breakfast was generous and fresh, at excellent value for money.

Ok, I never complain, and, if anything, make an effort to only mention the positive aspects of a stay. However... I had booked a suite as I needed a bath tub and was told our suite definitely had a bath, as well as great views. On arrival, we were told this was a mistake and we were given the choice of a much smaller room with a tub or the suite without. I need a bath for health reasons, so we grudgingly chose the smaller room. There was only view of a wall, no air con, and we spent the night awake and boiling hot. They offered a free breakfast but no refund, and the cost of breakfast in no way came close to the price difference between the suite we paid for and the room we stayed in. The receptionist, who also chased us for 11am checkout (despite having paid for late checkout) simply blamed a colleague instead of working towards compensation. I complained by email but this was simply ignored.

The building and location is awesome. Breakfast was great and staff was very friendly.

The rooms have had better days, but the bed was comfy and all was clean.

Nice welcome with the receptionist

Nothing

Great location, friendly, hard-working stuff, cows as neighbors, great walking paths and access to the beach.

it’s quite outdated, everything felt a little dirty, not dirty than needs a washing dirty as and just really old.

The hotel was an ideal location as a central locus for a person visiting this part of Scotland to play golf courses in the highlands region. The hotel is set in a secluded location and was a peaceful repose away for the buzz and noise of a more urban setting.

The roadway connecting the hotel to the A96 was rutted and potholed this has the potential to damage vehicles accessing the hotel even if one was compliant with the posted speed limit. The roadway as presented did not create a very endearing first impression. Further, while there was signage directing the vehicle driver to available car parking there was no marked out designated parking save for a number of disabled parking bays. This matter, if addressed, even with the limited space available for parking would enhance the overall experience of staying at the hotel.

Personnel,taille des chambres, vue emplacement

L'hôtel besoin d'une rénovation complète les tapis sont usés, les meubles vieux, lavabos abîmés, fenêtre salés etc.

Sicuramente la struttura un bellissimo palazzo del 1800.

Tutto sufficiente non all'altezza della bellezza della struttura.

Staff nice food good room big and clean good nights sleep. Only stayed one night so location fine for us.

building and grounds beautiful

Our Courtyard room was damp found woodlice 1 on the bed . bed lumpy and uneven . Bathroom extractor fan didn't work Toilet lid very soiled under lid room didn't feel clean .

Location was ideal to play Nairn golf club

The bed was extremely uncomfortable, with the springs digging into my back throughout the night. My room also had two single beds pushed together with a sheet over the top rather than a proper double bed, which made it uncomfortable whenever I moved during the night.

Piękny pałac, miła obsługa na recepcji, śniadania do przyjęcia.

Fatalna obsługa przy śniadaniu. Dziewczyna rzucała gdy podawała. Brudne filiżanki. Pokoje stare, niewyremontowane. Toteż nie wszustko tak czyste jakbu moglo być.

Location was Beautiful … the bed was comfortable

It was very very grubby …. Room wasn’t hoovered each day ….Very few staff around we did tell receptionist what we felt was wrong ….the carpet outside our bedroom was appalling broken tile in the bathroom the windows were really dirty as in old dirt all around them carpet rucked in our bedroom a def trip hazard …. Wires across floors and under rugs in reception. Terrible pot holes on driveway. Staff vaping outside front entrance.

Very nice staff

Location was tranquil

Booked courtyard and we received a free upgrade within hotel but room location was very noisy due to event until midnight. If we were given our original room without the upgrade then we wouldn't have been inconvenienced with the noise which ruined the experience.

Hotel con solera y muy confortable. Buen desayuno

Necesita actualizarse

Loved the traditional feel with a modern decor

Nothing

Bed was very comfortable, room was clean and shower pressure was good. Tasty breakfast and dinner, cozy old building and in walking distance from the beach and shops in Nairn. Hotel personell was friendly and helpful

Interior of the room and furniture is a bit old and used, it was quite loud when the windows were open in this specific room because it was located next to a roof with a loud ventilating system.

The bed was absolutely sensational! Best sleep I’ve had in so long. The room was really cosy. The food was fantastic and the staff were lovely.

I honestly can’t fault it.

Handy for Inverness airport

All a bit tired

Besonders die Mitarbeiter und auch das Abendessen war sehr gut. Frühstück okay. Man konnte gut parken und die Highlandkühe sind super süß, wobei da mal ein Hufschmied vorbeischauen sollte. Danke für die Bewirtung und die Ausnahme wegen des Roomservice. Dankeschön!!! Betten sind bequem!

Das Hauptgebäude im Park hat Castle-Vibes. Wir haben ein Upgrade bekommen in eine 2-Bedroom-Suite, die viel zu gross für uns war. Aber eine sehr schöne Suite! Die Betten waren sehr bequem, die Lage extrem ruhig, 5min zum Meer. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, das Abendessen im Restaurant ebenfalls. Die Dame bei unserem Checkin war super nett und auch das Personal beim Frühstück, an der Bar und Abends im Restaurant war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Auf der Weide vor dem Hotel grasen drei Highlandrinder. Es hat Spass gemacht, sich dort aufzuhalten.

Das Waschbecken im Bad war etwas unterdimensioniert

Lovely

Location

I was over the moon to receive an upgrade, unprompted. Room was spacious, lovely bathroom. Grounds stunning, very attractive & light bar & Carlie Chaplin restaurant. Loved the 3 Highland cattle in the hotel field. Loads of trees, large expanse of grounds out front, lovely driveway. Breakfasts good; staff through friendly & helpful & seemed happy; meaning Charlie Chaplin restaurant very good quality, altho’ some options had run out, e.g, pomegranate salad which I would have chosen - & no cream left but waiter/waitress (fantastic young people) were resourceful to find us alternative. Amazing stay.

Just one minor thing: ugly large coach parked outside front door entrances when coach parties staying - not a pretty view.

Il castello è magnifico, nei giardini ci sono anche le famose hairy cows! Purtroppo ci aspettavamo di dormire nel castello, ma non c’eravamo accorti di aver prenotato la stanza nella corte (quindi fate attenzione a leggere bene!) nonostante ciò, la stanza era molto bella e siamo stati in albergo a cena che era buonissima. Dopo cena, ci siamo fermati al bar e il barman ci ha aiutato nella scelta del whisky ed è stato molto gentile

Il ristorante era sprovvisto di alcuni dei piatti e di alcuni dolci forzando la scelta quindi su pochi piatti

Die Lage in einem riesigen Park und das Gebäude sind wunderschön. Unser Executive Doppelzimmer war großzügig und gut ausgestattet, Bad groß, Badewanne und extra Dusche-sehr sauber. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und das Frühstück gut.

Das Hotel bräuchte dringend eine intensive Reinigung oder Renovierung, v.a. der Teppichböden. Im Zimmer und auf den Fluren riecht es staubig, die Möbel im Zimmer haben angeschlagene Stellen und die Bettbespannung hatte Flecken. Mit einer Teppichreinigung, etwas Farbe und ein wenig Stoff könnte man schon viel erreichen.

1. Location!! 2. staff service 3. Great breakfast

The view from that specific room was some blocked by trees, but yet, their green color was calming.

Hotel agréable dans un très beau parc. Les chambres sont vastes et le lit double grand et confortable. En revanche la salle de bains était vieillissante, et la baignoire gagnerait à être remplacée par une douche. Peu de place pour installer les affaires de toilette ou accrocher des serviettes. Le petit déjeuner est correct, sans être fantastique. Pas de capuccino, mais un café au lait quelconque. Le personnel est agréable. En résumé un bon potentiel qui pourrait être amélioré.

Breakfast was served at the table. Quick service and good choices

L'attente au restaurant était beaucoup trop long 45 minutes après notre arrivée pour avoir notre plat unique alors que seul quatre tables étaient occupées

We liked the tranquil location as the hotel has extensive grounds.

The hotel is showing its age, water leaks had damaged the ceilings in both the bar and breakfast room, with the latter displaying a poor temporary repair. No receptionist was available to book us in and we had to wait sometime. We enquired via email about eating in the restaurant prior to our arrival, to be told that they could only accommodate us at 6.00pm. This was too early for us, so we booked elsewhere. Upon arrival we were asked if we wanted to eat in the restaurant. I explained that we were going to eat elsewhere only to be told that they could have fitted us in. We enquired about the next night and were informed that it was going to be busy, but they could fit us in. Further enquiries the next day again found that we could not eat at our desired time, even though we were told they could fit us in. Annoying mixed messages from staff. The hotel seems to put more effort into looking after coach parties, rather than guests who book individually. The bedroom smelt musty and were certainly not worth the money we paid. We were on a car tour of Scotland, we stayed in five hotels during our trip, this was the most expensive, yet offered the poorest overall experience.

Loved the location and walk through the wwodown to the sea. It room was great. We particularly liked the comfortable bed and the fact that the curtains cut out all the light making the room pitch black. Brilliant forceful shower.

Not a lot to complain about. The breakfast wasn't up to much and the carpets were showing signs of wear in places but I'm just nit picking

Possibly location

Driveway a nightmare full of potholes.Our room was dark and very tired .Not welcoming at all.Very disappointed, to say the least.

A arquitetura do hotel é muito atraente e o entorno próximo é bastante bucólico e relaxante

O café é a la carte e um pouco limitado

Lovely room, well maintained

Nothing !

Furniture very old , destroyed

I stayed here last minute. After a day with some troubles Mary was very friendly and helpfull with my last minute check in. Next day had a great breakfast with also very friendly staff. I will come back here!

Room, breakfast, staff

Good location Restaurant v good Breakfast good. Breakfast dining rooms v nice. Nice bar. Good veiws

Hotel building itself needs tome TLC in places. E.g holes in a hallway carpet, bedroom carpet rucked up, dirty bedroom windows and an overflowing gutter drainpipe. But to be honest this is typical of Muthu hotels

Très bel hôtel d’extérieur , très bien placé

L’hôtel est très très vintage . J’avais lu sur les commentaires que ce style lui donnait du charme mais vintage ne veut pas dire sale. La moquette de notre chambre était toute tachée et la salle de bain pas très propre

Location is perfect, what a beauriful hotel!

Nothing

it was a beautifyul property surrunded by history. the hotel is very old but they make it really comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good.

Beautiful property that has clearly seen better days. We loved the old exterior and interesting details of the building, the highland cows in front, and the gardens. The staff was also super sweet, especially the restaurant and breakfast servers!

This hotel needs some money put into it for new carpet, lamps, and decor. The lamp in our room had a broken shade, the chairs were worn out, and the carpet pulling away from the walls. In the restaurant there's water damage in the windowsills and all the wall decor looks cheap and mass produced.

Perfect

Nothing need changing

Great location, picturesque scenery, couldn’t fault breakfast though paint peeling off walls in dining room

Stayed in the courtyard both radiators on in the room when arrived as well as in the entrance, couldn’t turn the towel radiator in bathroom off very uncomfortable. For the price it’s not justified
