My stay was back in August but, here at last is a well deserved review! I was received with care and courtesy; felt warmly welcomed and that every attention was given to make my stay comfortable. All the facilities were spotless and the hotel could not be better situated for exploring Inverness.
Tips for other visitors -
Check out the bus station, many pleasant outings are possible without needing to use a car. The Inverness Botanic Gardens are a delight; free to enter (but please donate after your visit to help the maintenance of this wonderful space!). Be sure to walk along the Ness Bank

I sensed the hotel would be special as soon as I received an email from the proprietor, offering advance information about the hotel and its location. This first impression was surpassed on arrival with a warm welcome from the proprietor. As tourists, the hotel was perfect but some guests may find the absence of a restaurant, serving lunch and dinner, or a bar, to be limiting. For the regular tourist or guest, the full Scottish breakfast served between 0800 and 0915 will be appreciated. The hotels location about ten minutes walk from the train and bus stations will be a bonus as were the many
