1 / 21Craigmoy
Nairn, Highlands
A single level cottage for four in Nairn with an enclosed paved garden, the beach and town within a short walk, one dog welcome.
Nairn is an old fashioned seaside town in the best sense, sand, promenade, golf and cafes, and Craigmoy puts all of it within a short walk. A single level cottage for four with one dog welcome and an enclosed garden, it is the dog friendly way to do the Moray Firth without touching the car for days.
The kitchen diner takes the meals, the lounge takes the evenings, and the two bedrooms split a super king that converts to twins and a proper twin, with a walk in shower between them. The garden is enclosed and paved around the back and side, patio, small deck and seating, low maintenance ground a dog can be let into without a towel standing by.
The town does the rest. Nairn's beach starts 0.5 miles away and runs long in both directions, the harbour and the high street fill the gaps between tides, and Culbin Forest, a strange and lovely plantation on the dunes, begins a little along the shore for the dog's big morning.
Chanonry Point across the firth is the best place in Britain to watch dolphins from land, Cawdor and Brodie castles sit inland, and Inverness is 17 miles for the city run. A dog's Nairn, though, is simpler than any of that: beach, forest, repeat.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Craigmoy dog friendly?
Yes, one dog is welcome at Craigmoy. The cottage has an enclosed paved garden to the back and side where your dog can be let out freely, and Nairn's beach is just half a mile away with Culbin Forest a little further along the shore — plenty to keep a dog happy.
Are dogs allowed at Craigmoy year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the host directly to confirm availability for your dates. Nairn itself is a year-round destination, and the beach and Culbin Forest are there whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Craigmoy with my dog?
The property accommodates one dog, so if you're travelling with more than one it's best to check with the host before booking. The garden is enclosed and paved, so it's low maintenance and easy to use without worrying about muddy paws — though the beach and forest nearby might change that on a longer walk.
