WHERE TO FIND US

Map

On the east side of Nairn (beside a railway bridge and Shell garage) the A939 branches south off the A96. We are exactly 3 miles from this junction, on the left, as you drive south towards Grantown-on-Spey. Our sign says LAIKENBUIE HOLIDAYS and is set back from the road on a bank. It is a little difficult to see in the dark due to problems with our visibility splay and the bends.

MAPS AND ATTRACTIONS

THE AREA

The Moray Firth has many varied geographical areas all within easy reach. From long sandy beaches, through mature woods with cascading rivers, up to the ski slopes high in the Cairngorms. The climate is usually kind with only 23in of rain and plenty of sun. There are dolphins in the sea, monsters in the loch (or so we believe), deer on the ground and eagles in the air. If you take a little time to look for these and the other birds and animals you have a good chance of success.
