Nothing better than a welcome from Molly!

Four of us (all adults) stayed here for our last night of a 10-day trip through England and Scotland. We couldn't believe how beautiful the exterior of the hotel was, as well as the lobby, and restaurant ... we felt like we were staying in a one of the castles we'd seen along the way. The staff were terrific, including Molly, an adorable pup who loves to play with the guests! Our rooms were comfortable and offered us a great night's rest before our journey back home to the States from Inverness Airport. The showers were a bit of a letdown, though, as there was very little water pressure. It's an old building, so perhaps that's to be expected? The breakfast buffet made up for it :)

No hot water for shower. The boiler had to be reset and it was fixed. Breakfast service on 5/21 was slow and lacked the attention to details from the day before. Maybe they were short staffed? Staff in all venues were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We would stay here again.

I cannot say enough amazing things about our stay here. Breakfast was great, staff were exceptionally helpful and the location was beautiful. If you don’t have a car the walk into the downtown Inverness is long, but it’s a beautiful walk. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had packed lunches for one of our tours, I also showed up with a black eye from an accident early on in our travels and they made sure to get me ice regularly for it. We will absolutely be back.
