Lovely stay!!

We recently stayed and had a great stay, room was lovely, clean with great facilities and only a 10 minute walk to the centre or Inverness. We were 4 friends and booked the family room we all felt the beds were very comfy and the breakfast was lovely. The staff that were serving breakfast were lovely, helpful and very friendly.

Disliked: Amenities
Grossly overpriced! This place is a notch better than a hostel (and that’s being generous). For the price paid - this is not a value. Also, can’t comprehend how this has a rating of 9.8 (unless it’s on a scale of 100. Very disappointed with Expedia wrongly rating this as high as they do.

Excellent location. We chose the 8.45 breakfast slot, I chose poached eggs. We arrived on time, however, breakfast had been cooked and kept hot. Eggs were hard, square sausage was dried out.

We were surprised and delighted by this charming hotel. It exceeded our expectations. Amazing attention to detail & cozy Scottish decor made us feel so welcomed & comfortable. Pre-ordering breakfast made mornings efficient & it was delicious. Staff was friendly & helpful. There were lots of great shops & restaurants within walking distance. Check-in & check-out were very easy. We loved our stay here & wish we could have stayed longer.

If I could give 6 stars I would!

Hands down, the best B&B I ever stayed at! In fact I’ve stayed at 4 star hotels with poorer standards. Fresh, new, immaculate design and standards are words to describe this place! Simply perfect!

Linda

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room on ground floor looked directly onto car park. Room above had creaky floors and could hear water being drawn, a bit noisy sometimes. Bedding not very good quality. No housekeeping on short stay (we stayed for 3 nights). When asked lady who served breakfast if we could have fresh towels and replenish milk and biscuits, it wasn’t a problem. Breakfast was fine, served by a friendly waitress. Didn’t see any other staff.
