This was a wonderful place to stay! Very clean and safe. It’s easy to walk to downtown from here where the pubs and shops are. Fraser is friendly and kind and full of suggestions for things to do and see in Inverness. The breakfasts were delicious. If you’re a dog person his dogs are super friendly and sweet. I highly recommend Ballifeary Guest House.

Ballifeary was absolutely wonderful. The room was lovely, the food was excellent, and Fraser was an amazing host who saved the last of our trip. We had a route planned back to Edinburgh that wouldn't have really showed off the highlands, and Fraser gave us recommendations on how to go instead. His recommendations for Inverness were spot on as well. So glad that we stayed here!

Fraser is a wonderful host. Very attentive and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The breakfast choices are diverse and delicious. Plant milk available if you are non dairy. There are fresh flowers in vases everywhere, especially in the breakfast room. Charming, inside and out. Short walk to the town center.
