Top Clava Cairns Hotel Reviews

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Columba Hotel! The staff was friendly & helpful. The room was clean & cozy. The bed & pillows were really comfortable . We’ve been to other hotels where the pillows were ultra thin. Sounds silly , but the thin pillows affected my sleeping. One thing I loved was how peaceful the rooms were, you couldn’t hear other guests. We also had a great view of the river."

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very close to the busy center of town and right across the street from the river. The room was clean and had more than adequate space for two. The hotel did not provide shampoo, so bring some. The breakfast buffet was filling."

Smithton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was large, comfortable, and clean. The bed and pillows were comfy. Our room was on the third floor (no lift), but Andy grabbed two bags and helped us up. He was amazing on the desk and in the restaurant. Our meals were delicious. The provided breakfast was hot and made to order. Pete runs a nice, older, family-run inn and we would definitely stay again."

Culloden House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was very friendly at check- in and during dinner. Property was beautiful but the room and the bed linen smelled like smoke. Made it unpleasant to sleep."
