What a wonderful property outside of Inverness. The building sits directly on the Beauly Firth with excellent views to to the north. Breakfast is included and was very good. Dinner was an option but was well worth it. They have a premium chef and engaged staff. I recommend dinner on site rather than Inverness. Our room was nice, with a traditional feel that was a natural fit for this property. A morning walk of the grounds and having tea sitting on a bench overlooking the firth capped a perfect stay. I will make for a longer stay if I ever get back to Inverness.

The amenities were lovely. They kept real milk chilled in the fridge for your tea or coffee which was such a nice touch. The food was unbelievable as were the drinks. The ambiance was as about as Scottish as you could imagine which is what you want when you're traveling abroad. Can't say enough great things about this place.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had dinner there a few nights and the food was delicious! I enjoyed the venison the most! I let the bar tender know that I enjoyed a specific Speyside whisky and he recommended a Balvenie that was tasty and comparable. We had a beautiful loch view from our room and I enjoyed waking up with the sunrise over the loch outside of our window. We caught the end of storm Amy and the week was pretty wet and chilly but the Bunchrew House Hotel also happily kept us warm! We’d been traveling for a couple of weeks so we had quite a bit of laundry to be done and the hotel also offers a laundry service and that worked out nicely as well. I would definitely recommend staying here and I would stay here again when we revisit Inverness.

A hotel should at the minimum provide a secure room, a bed, and hot water. Hot water was regrettably not provided. Staff were unable to account for it’s not reaching the turret room. While the staff member was courteous and apologetic, her solution was to defray the cost of bar food dinner — a small percentage of the not inexpensive room charge. On a chilly drizzly morning we would have been better served by hot water or a more diminished charge. Disappointing hydraulics and response.

This is a fantastic and memorable property we stayed at during it 8 day journey. The room was wonderful, spacious and like home. The staff were so kind and accommodating for us. I had some dietary restrictions and the chef did everything to accommodate me and all were absolutely gourmet. I appreciated their kindness and flexibility. Gorgeous grounds. Enjoyed sitting outside y the water. I wished we could have stayed longer. It was so enjoyable and memorable.

Although the outside of the property was very picturesque, the interior was very tired and in need of updating. I didn’t feel the price reflected the quality of the rooms. The room advertised, was completely different to what we got.

The setting couldn’t be more beautiful and we have NEVER had better meals than the lovely dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Their chef is top-notch. The rooms are in serious need of a refresh, but they were clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.

The staff is so accommodating. The first day we arrived the front desk arranged for a taxi for the next morning.We had an early morning excursion. Second they arranged for a continental breakfast for us before the restaurant was opened so we could have a bite to eat. Then we phoned them and said we would be late returning after a lite fair is served. And they had a little snack available. They are very friendly and answered any questions we had. The property is right on the loch and very Scottish. We loved the hotel and would return.

Bunchrew House is just a few words was peaceful, magical, and quaint. We adored this place! The hostess was very helpful and thorough, the spot is unbeatable for those wishing for a leisurely stay in Inverness, and the history and charm are bar-none. We didn't dream the house would hold so many rooms or that the food/dining room view would put us in such awe. The "Scottish Grill" at breakfast was delicious, the wait staff so respectful, and the environment had me feeling that I was really taking my breakfast in a classy 1700s setting. Loved it, and have already recommended this place to family and friends!
