Staying at Dali Ayer's accommodation was one of the best experiences of my life. The Scottish manor house is privately run by David and Rowena. It is furnished in an informal, cosmopolitan and adventurous way that we have rarely seen before. The rooms are extremely clean and the surroundings are wonderful. While the housewife prepares an excellent breakfast with a large and delicious selection, the landlord offers gentlemanly service, great small talk and wonderful experiences from his wonderful life. I can strongly recommend everyone to visit Tali Ayer.

Stayed here for one night as my husband was golfing in the area. Could not have chosen a better place to stay. What a team David and his wife (Rowena) are! David is such an interesting man - with a sense of humour - but his life experience stories are just so interesting. He's keen to let you know that his wife (Rowena) works very hard to give guests a first-class experience. The rooms are beautiful. We had a large room overlooking the garden. Large comfortable bed with beautiful crisp cotton bedlinen. Large bathroom. All immaculate in presentation and cleanliness. The house is beautiful with a lounge area for guests too. David will recommend places for eating in the evening. We had a lovely meal in the place he recommended for us. Now get the breakfast. I have never had as much choice in a breakfast. You can have whatever you like and you preorder the evening before. All beautifully cooked by Rowena. Cannot praise this place enough. So glad we stayed here and highly recommend to others.

Wonderful older country house and the host David made us feel very welcome., great hospitality and breakfasts were exceptional. It felt like the United Nations at breakfast as some many foik from different nations staying. Lovely memorabilia of the Far East fill the house mixed in with Highland art and Scottish pieces. A real fusion that works in our view.

We very much appreciated the warm welcome from our host, David. The room was beautiful and the whole house was very well appointed. The location was perfect to visit Nairn and we appreciated being able to park our car on the property. Everything we needed was at walking distance. The breakfasts were fabulous, and we enjoyed David's good humor and wonderful stories. He also gave use great directions for our morning run. We are glad we chose Tali Ayer for our stay in Nairn.

We can't think of anything.

The house itself is beautiful, such a gorgeously decorated warm, clean and inviting place. We were made to feel so welcome, at ease and looked after by David while we enjoyed Rowena’s delicious breakfasts. David was so good at getting fun and interesting conversations going at breakfast around a big beautiful dining table so it was lovely meeting the other guests too. It was such a huge treat being there, a real pleasure.

David and Rowena were very friendly and welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home. The homemade breakfast was delicious and served in a beautiful setting. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Thank you both for a wonderful stay

It is a reliable, clean, hospitable, quiet, wonderful hotel where you can easily go and relax. The owners, David, are a great person. The breakfasts are amazing. I will visit again at the first opportunity. I have already added it to my list of hotels to visit. Thank you very much for everything.

we loved this establishment, warm and wonderful welcome. the owner and his wife are passionate and exciting people. breakfasts are personalized and complete. our room was full of charm combining the modern and the historic side of this magnificent cottage. we can only warmly recommend this establishment and our wonderful hosts.

Nothing all was perfect

A very grand house set in peaceful gardens, and a huge bedroom with a spacious walk-in shower. The host was always on hand to chat. Lovely breakfast, with fresh fruit salad as well as the fried items. Excellent location, just 5 mins walk from town centre and lots of restaurants, and plenty of parking.

Perhaps just a little less chat from the host?!!

The presentation, cleanliness and location were excellent. The room appeared to have been redecorated recently to a very high standard

We were in what appeared to be a converted attic, which in itself wasn’t a problem, as it had been done to a very high standard. However the tread on steps leading to the room were narrow and the stair was steep
