The Spotlight on Muthu Newton Hotel (Near Inverness Airport)

Highland Charm Just Outside Inverness

Set within 21 acres of lush parkland and overlooking the Moray Firth, the Muthu Newton Hotel (Near Inverness Airport) blends classic elegance with peaceful Highland surroundings. Located in the coastal town of Nairn, just a 30-minute drive from Inverness, this traditional hotel offers a tranquil base with free Wi-Fi, free parking, and plenty of local character — including a nod to its most famous guest, Charlie Chaplin.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're catching a show in Inverness or nearby, this hotel offers a relaxing escape after the buzz of the crowd. The short drive to Inverness makes it easy to reach major venues while enjoying a quieter setting for post-concert recovery. With check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00, there’s time to regroup after a late night. The peaceful gardens and sea views make it ideal for unwinding, and the free parking is a bonus for road-trippers.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping through the Highlands
- Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list gig in Inverness
- Couples looking to pair music with a romantic coastal getaway
- Fans who appreciate a quieter, scenic base after the concert
- Budget-conscious music lovers who value free parking and Wi-Fi

Food and Drink Options

Guests can enjoy hearty meals in the hotel’s conservatory-style Chaplin’s Restaurant or opt for more casual bar meals. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site dining options cater well to guests returning from evening events. Breakfast is available the next morning — perfect for a gentle start after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about laid-back vibes than late-night action, its on-site bar serves a wide range of drinks, including local whiskies. Inverness is just a short drive away and offers a selection of live music bars and pubs for those looking to continue the night.

What People Say

Reviewers love the hotel’s historic charm, scenic coastal setting, and peaceful atmosphere. Many highlight the spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the relaxing environment. The connection to Charlie Chaplin adds a fun historical touch that guests enjoy.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor feels a little dated in places, and others note that the hotel’s distance from Inverness may not suit those without a car. However, most agree the trade-off is worth it for the peace and space.

The Bottom Line

A scenic, traditional hotel offering a peaceful post-concert retreat just a short drive from Inverness — ideal for music fans who prefer Highland calm after the show.

We enjoyed our stay in...

Liked: Staff were good and so was breakfast. We were upgraded, so not sure what original room was like. Water pressure & shower were very good.
Disliked: Definitely air conditioning or at least fans. Shower cubicle falling apart.Didn’t like being directly over a wedding celebration. We were moved for one night. No compensation.

Avoid this place

Liked: Stuff was nice, they are doing great job despite the place and management.
Disliked: Be careful, photos don't match the place at all. Rooms were very old, plenty of dust and mold in bathrooms. Very very expensive for the comfort they are offering. There are plenty of better places nearby. Nothing interesting nearby. Hotel's restaurant and bar were closed.
