Covenanters Inn ***


A very friendly family welcome awaits you at the historic Covenanters` Inn.

Run by Louise and Douglas Harrison, the Inn is located in the small country village of Auldearn, just 2 miles from Nairn between Inverness (capital of the Highlands) and the historic town of Elgin in Moray. Inverness Airport is just eight miles away.

It is an ideal location from which to explore the magnificent scenery of the North and West Highlands, Moray, Speyside, the Cairngorms and Aberdeenshire.
Whether you are here for the history, the whisky or the outdoor life, there`s something for everyone!

Douglas, Louise and their daughters look forward to welcoming you to The Covenanters.

Children are well catered for with the indoor Kiddies Cove, outdoor play area and, of course, their own special menu. The Harrison girls are often on hand to meet some of the younger guests.

Children`s rates are included within the family room prices.

The Covenanters` Inn is renowned for its variety of good food cooked using local produce.

The Eren Restaurant provides a more formal dining atmosphere, mainly used for special occasions and parties. Breakfast is also served here.

The Kiln Lounge Bar (recently refurbished) offers excellent food in historic surroundings (see sample menu below). It is situated in the `mill` section of the building. During its refurbishment, the old beams were exposed and now the actual kiln and some of the original workings are open to view.
