"On arrival we discovered that due to the steepness and winding stairs, we would be unable to go up or down due to us having mobility problems."
The owners suggested solution was to put a sofa bed in the living room which was not acceptable to us as we would need to fold this away each morning and reset it at night. As a result we did not stay at the cottage. The property made no mention of the difficulty with the stairs for a person(s) with mobility problems. We are therefore financially out of pocket with no holiday. I would not recommend thus cottage.
This situation was unfortunate in that this gentleman wrongly thought there was a downstairs bedroom at the cottage. It is correct that the stairs are quite steep but it is, surely, incumbent on guests who have mobility problems to make sure that they carefully read the cottage description and, in view of their mobility problems, ask further questions before booking. I made a number of attempts by text and telephone voicemail messages in the afternoon to contact the guest before he left the cottage to discuss any way in which I could accommodate his needs but he didn't respond until later that evening when it seems he had already gone home.

"Excellent location, 5 minutes to beach and 10 minutes to town centre."
Paul the host was a great communicator and provided the cottage with everything. The store cupboard with spices and herbs was great as was the amount of kitchen equipment and lovely crockery too. I’ve stayed in quite a lot of cottages and Airbnb but this has been my favourite. Both my husband and daughter loved it too and we will definitely be going back.
Hello Sam, Thank you for your lovely feedback following your stay at Coorie Doon. It is so nice to receive positive feedback from guests, especially when we try our best to look after guests and "go the extra mile". You will, of course, be welcome back any time. Paul Property Owner

"An excellent holiday cottage - comfortable, well-equipped and well-maintained, in a quiet location."
The owner has thoughtfully provided clear instructions and information plus lots of interesting books and films. One thing that would have been helpful was an explanation of the unusual way properties are numbered in Society Street, with a clear diagram. It took us a while to find it, and the supermarket delivery man had the same problem.
Hello Sheila, Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am pleased that you had an enjoyable week at Coorie Doon. The house numbering system in Nairn for the several Society Streets is indeed quirky. The map which Sykes have on their site does locate the cottage exactly so it is worth looking at that and/or following the directions that I send out to get there rather than try to navigate by looking at the house numbers - to which there seems to be no rhyme or reason !! Sainsburys have struggled to find the cottage in the past but, having used them ourselves on many occasions, they ought to make notes so they know for next time. Hopefully, you will visit Coorie Doon again sometime. Paul Property Owner

"Coorie Doon proved to be a very comfortable and well equipped cottage (especially the bed)."
Ideally situated to enjoy the stunningly beautiful Moray Firth coastline it was also positioned to enjoy the peaceful location of Fishertown. The welcome pack was just a small part of Paul’s consideration for his guests, not intrusive but ensuring the comfort of our stay. While we weren’t able to use the garden area because of the time of year, it appeared to us to be perfect for relaxing at any time. We had an absolutely wonderful holiday. Teresa March 2024
Hello Teresa and Brian, Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am so pleased that you had a wonderful holiday at Coorie Doon and on the Moray Firth. It was important that you had a comfortable holiday on your anniversary. You will be welcome back anytime. Paul Property Owner

"My husband and I had a lovely comfortable stay in Coorie Doon."
The cottage is well equipped and very homely. The log burner in the sitting room was a real plus as Nairn was pretty chilly in mid November! The location is fantastic and literally only two minutes walk to the beach. We had some great meals out at Ozzy's restaurant (recommend by the owners). We didn't have a car with us and found plenty to do and see, walking and taking public transport from the cottage. Very happy to recommend it. Polly and Lindsay
Hello Polly and Lindsay, Thank you for your lovely review and I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Coorie Doon. It's great that, even without a car, you were able to get about in Nairn and the area. Would love you to return some time. Paul Property Owner

"Stayed one month."
Attentive hosts - communicated before and during stay as needed - even shared a bottle of red with us. Hosts provided insight into activities we might consider including hooking us up with eBike rental (GreenHive). Cottage was perfect - quiet, comfortable, and practical. Didn't want to leave and would definitely go back!
Hello Linda, Thank you very much for your lovely review - it was an absolute pleasure having you stay for a month at Coorie Doon and you will always be welcome back. It is always very satisfying when guests appreciate Coorie Doon and Nairn in general - it is a special place. Property Owner

"The cottage is charming and very comfortable."
We really enjoyed our stay in Nairn and it was great to come back to this cosy home each day. The bed was very comfy all facilities in great order. The owner left some basic essentials and wine and cookies, which were much appreciated. We would be happy to stay in Coorie Doon again in the future.
Thank you for your lovely review - I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and you would be welcome back any time. Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay and commented in the visitors book."
The location was very good and afforded a daily use of the sea front areas while being walkable to the town. As we have family and friends in Inverness, Forres and Fochabers, being based in Nairn was perfect
Hello Fraser, Thank you for your feedback and comments in Guest Book - that is very much appreciated. It might be a bit chilly in Nairn at the moment but I think it can be beautiful, especially on the beach, in Winter. Thanks again Paul Property Owner

"A thoroughly enjoyable week at Corrie Doon, we had lots of recommendations from the owner including walks and places to visit but a week is too short to try them all."
Very cosy and warm, would love to return sometime.
Hello Stephen, thank you for your feedback and, of course, we would love to see you back at Coorie Doon. Thank you for not mentioning the precipitation !!! Paul Property Owner

"The second time we have stayed here, so we knew exactly what to expect."
Clean, comfortable and close to the beach. A very helpful owner.
Thank you for your lovely feedback - it was great to have you back at Coorie Doon. Paul Property Owner

"The cottage really is warm and welcoming, a Lovely location right near the sea and the walks along the beach are breathtaking."
The cottage itself is well equipped and there were some biscuits , milk, tea, coffee and sugar waiting for us on our arrival and not forgetting a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. The owner had left a brief history about the cottage which was great and interesting and it was lovely to see that some of its history had been kept but mixed with modern touches which didn’t spoil it. A great little find for anyone wanting to explore Nairn, Inverness and the surrounding area. Thank you for a wonderful stay . The owner
Thank you, Jane, for your lovely feedback. We've grown to like the beach walks most which are indeed breathtaking. Almost everyone who stays at Coorie Doon sees dolphins from the beach and the Northern Lights neither of which I've seen in 60 years of visiting Nairn - maybe this year !! Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, perfect for five and a great location for the high street and the beach."
Hello Carole, Thank you for your kind feedback about Coorie Doon - I am very pleased you had a great time there. Paul Property Owner

"Coorie Doon was an excellent base to explore the NE of Scotland."
The cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The owner contacted me twice before our visit to share helpful local information and how to access the keys, and was open to being contacted during our stay. My elderly father accompanied us on our holiday and found the downstairs bedroom and bathroom very helpful.
Hello Rebecca, Thank you for your kind review - I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Coorie Doon and were able to explore the area from there. It is great to be able to share our little cottage with guests. Property Owner

"What an absolute joy it was to spend time in this beautiful and comfortable cottage in Nairn."
We ate and relaxed in the lovely, private yarden and swan in the sea at midnight. The cottage has everything you could ever need for a wonderful break ‘home from home’. It’s a great central spot to travel from and investigate the beautiful surrounding area.
Hello Angela, Thank you very much for your lovely review of Coorie Doon and Nairn area. There is quite a large group of wild water swimmers in the sea off Nairn although they are usually on the dayshift - a midnight swim sounds fantastic (although we are next up in October when it mightn't be so "warm"). Nicola, our housekeeper and our gardener, Susan, will be very pleased you enjoyed your time there. Property Owner
-
"A comfortable and well-equipped cottage with an interesting history."
A perfect base from which to explore the north of Scotland. We really appreciated the direct contact with the owner and all the information provided. It was well worth the long journey. Thank you.
Hello Gina, Thank you for your lovely review about Coorie Doon. I'm glad that the information we provide is useful and that you enjoyed your stay. Fishertown is certainly a very historic place and pretty unique. Property Owner

"The cottage owner Paul couldn't have been more helpful in the lead up to and during our stay."
Coorie Doon was warm, comfortable and the perfect place to come back to after a day out. It's in a great location, tucked away, but just a short walk to Nairn's town centre, numerous eating places and beautiful beaches. Every day began or ended with a walk along the promenade or along the sand with a pair of binoculars to appreciate the amazing birdlife and one one occasion, even seals and dolphins. We loved the cottage, the area, and hope to return soon.
Hello Mark, Thank you for your very kind words. It is always satisfying when we are able to help guests have an enjoyable holiday - sometimes despite the weather being a little inclement !! You are one up on me as, in the 60 years I have been visiting Nairn, I am yet to see a live dolphin - perhaps next time we are there. We would love to have you back at Coorie Doon. Property Owner
-
"The cottage is beautiful, the owner very nice and helpful."
Nairn is always worth a visit. We can only recommend Coorie Doon.
Hello Natalie, Thank you for your feedback - I am very pleased that you had a good time in Coorie Doon and Nairn and that I was able to organise good weather for your stay !!! You will be welcome back any time. Paul Property Owner

"Property was so lovely and cosy for the time of year we stayed, so close to Nairn beach and short walk only to town."
You can see the Garden would be beautiful in spring/summer. Property bed upstaors was extremely comfortable, my husband generally doesn't sleep good but did so while staying at Coorie Doo. We loved the log fire and the roll top Bath - tip is to get logs from home bargains if open rather than petrol station as the latter were a bit too big and not as dry. We would definitely recommend this cottage.
Hello Elizabeth, Thank you very much for your lovely review. Very glad we could accommodate you at very short notice and I hope you had a fantastic hogmanay and a bit of a rest. I endorse your comments about the logs from Home Bargains (logs from other retailers are available !!) which are better burners and seem to be much dryer. Also glad that your husband slept well at Coorie Doon - a lot of guests mention the very comfortable bed. Hope you may be able to visit again. Paul pe Property Owner

"The cottage was perfect."
Great location just a short stroll from the beach in the lovely town of Nairn. Paul, the owner, has added lots of little personal touches to make the cottage extra homely and it was a super cozy place to shelter from storm Arwen. We hope to return next year.
Hello Charlie, Thank you for your review - it was great that you enjoyed your stay at Coorie Doon and I look forward to welcoming you again next year when I'll try to arrange for no storms. Property Owner

"Cookie Doon, is an amazing cottage."
Everything you could possibly need and more. The most comfortable bed and pillows ever! We were cosy and warm. Situated in an equally amazing part of Nairn. Can’t recommend this cottage enough.
Thank you, Sharon, for a lovely review. Coorie Doon means cosy up so I'm glad you were able to. And, you saw the Aurora !! Property Owner
-
"A true delight, owners could not have been more helpful and welcoming."
The cottage was every thing we hoped for and exceeded our expectations. Nairn is a lovely place with lots to do and see and to come back to Corrie Doon was like coming home. Nothing was too much trouble and any queries were quickly dealt with. Thank you Paul and Nicola, we will return.
Thank you for your lovely review, Julie. I look forward to your return. Property Owner

"The owner had thought of everything , a lovely place to stay and so close to the beach"
-
"It was a lovely cottage in a really great location."
-
"If you're in a hurry - great property beautifully presented, go & enjoy!"
If you've a bit more time - Coorie Down is in a wonderful location barely 2 minutes walk from the beach, but also an easy short walk to Nairn's town centre. The owners have ensured guests will want for (almost) nothing, with a well appointed kitchen & a very comfortably furnished sitting room. The king sized bed was also hugely comfortable and the provided linen and towels felt luxurious. The wifi was also well up to the task, and for our arrival, the owners had left a small selection of welcome goodies to start us off. What stood out was the level of cleanliness throughout - the presentation of Coorie Down was, to our minds, exemplary. One minor issue surfaced during our stay, and owner Paul responded at once and ensured a replacement item was delivered the following day. Fantastic all round.

"Excellent accommodation, lovely sheltered back yard."
Would recommend it to anyone.
-
"It's a really nice and cosy place close to the beach and with everything you need for a week stays."

-

"Great location."
Very clean and comfortable. Warmly recommended.

"Coorie Doon is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location."
Myself, 2 kids and my parents spent a wonderful, relaxing week there in October. The cottage, while being spacious, felt very cosy and comfortable. The downstairs bathroom has a big, freestanding bath and a very spacious shower. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. WiFi connectivity was excellent. The kids loved that we were only a 2 minute walk away from a lovely, sandy beach and enjoyed walking and playing there every day. Communication with the property owner was great and he provided lots of useful info. Nairn itself is a lovely town with a good collection of shops and we didn’t feel the need to wander much further afield. That said, if you did wish to do a bit of exploring, Nairn is perfectly placed for heading to the North East and North West. I’d highly recommend a stay at Coorie Doon!

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Corrie Doon."
Relaxing cosy cottage, loved the original stone wall in the living room and log burner. The whole place was immaculately clean and very well maintained. Lovely and warm after cold and rainy days out. Although it is located in a town it was very quiet and peaceful in Fishertown and being able to walk to a beautiful white sandy beach helped tire out our 3 young boys. Great base for days out into the Cairngorms. We would stay here again in a minute.
-
"The owner was very pleasant and helpful to deal with, thorough guidance an help provided."
They went above and beyond when asked for local recommendations. A lovely stay.
-
"Safe and comfort"
-
"Coorie Doon is very close to the Links and waters edge."
It id in a quaint part of the Town. The house was warm and the beds very comfortable. The owner was very good at getting in touch. We had a lovely time in this cottage
-
"We had a fabulous time."
Cottage was lovely with everything we needed included. Beach was amazing and right on our doorstep and tons to do in the local area. Paul, the host, was excellent to deal with and answered any questions very promptly.
-
"Coorie Doon is a comfortable, clean and cosy cottage within reach of lots of attractions."
There is a lovely, private courtyard and the cottage is very well equipped. The owner provides lots of information on local walks and days out and goes above and beyond in making your stay comfortable. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage.
-
"Lovely cottage, clean with modern facilities but loads of character."
Well situated in Nairn which is a great location from which to explore the highlands. Just a great holiday!
-
"The cottage was ideal for us, of very high quality and comfort (the small, secluded garden being a perfect place to sit and read when the sun shone)."
Despite being surrounded by houses it felt private, and was in an excellent location whether for long beach walks or heading up to the shops and the train station (20 minutes to Inverness). The owner provided all the information we could require, I felt confident that any issues would be swiftly resolved. We would return.
-
"Great holiday home Very close to the beach and harbour especially for evening walks"
-
"Lovely cosy cottage in a great wee street."
Lots of places to eat in Nairn, if, like me, you refuse to cook while on holiday. Especially enjoyed exploring the area, Fort Goerge is a must and the Highland Folk Musuem is one of the best sites I have ever visited! Would recommend staying here.
-
"A few things would have improved experience."
Stairs steep and no rail on right to hold onto - difficult for elderly Mum to climb. Not enough towels. Apart from that well-equipped cosy cottage with lovely garden in quiet area near the beach.
-
"We had a great time!"
The weather was very good, so we could go to the lovely beach every day. The beach is quiet, clean and golden sand for kilometers. The house had his own history. That was very interisting. It was not far from the beach and a good place to start day trips to the highlands or other sightseeing tours. In Nairn are a lot restaurant or pubs. Our favourite was Jacko´s bar.
-
"Very good location for both the sea and the town, easy walking distance."
Also a good centre for visiting the many interesting places within a short distance of Nairn. The property is as described and has every facility. The owner is especially solitcitous.
-
"The cottage was of a very high standard and comfort."
A nice small garden to sit in as well which is always a bonus. Location was great, ideal for the beach and for local restaurants. Would envisage returning at some point in the future.
-
"Absolutely beautiful cottage."
All mod cons. Perfect location. Less than a minutes walk from the beach. Perfect for going to the beach to catch the sunrise!
-
"Very nice, comfortable and pleasant place to stay."
The cottage and town are very nice for a quiete weekend, local pubs and restaurants are great and welcoming. I look forward to rebooking soon

NAIRN
Inverness 16 miles.
Nairn is an attractive and lively seaside town dating back to Victorian times. It has long been a popular holiday destination and is just 16 miles from the town of Inverness. Nairn even lays claim to being one of the driest and sunniest places in the country! The town offers some of the top beaches in Scotland and cleanest bathing waters in Britain. Also, one of the only two dolphin colonies in the UK is based in the Moray Firth. Nairn is steeped in history and is closely linked with the Battle of Culloden, whilst nearby Fort George is Europe’s best preserved 18th century military fortification. Shakespeare’s famed Cawdor Castle and Brodie Caste are both within 15 mins drive. Golfing enthusiasts will be attracted to the two 18-hole championship courses, including the Nairn Golf Club, and the town also has an outdoor tennis court as well as a squash court for hire. The yearly Nairn Highland Games in August draws a wide crowd and The Nairn Book and Arts Festival is a popular year event. Whitewater rafting, tubing and cliff jumping are all available for those with a spirit for adventure. Day trips from the local airport are available to Orkney and Shetland and the Cairngorm National Park with skiing and hiking are within 1 hour. Nairn is an ideal centre for exploring, or just relaxing.
