The Quaich was a conveniently located and comfortable place for overnights in Inverness. The rooms were clean, cosy and well- appointed. We got two great nights’ sleep, as we couldn’t hear any of the other lodgers. The host was genial, attentive, and helpful. We’d stay here again.

Our room was small, but very pleasant and immaculately clean. Our host welcomed us at the door and invited us to take our pick between 2 rooms.

We enjoyed our stay!

Would Recommend: Yes

9th April 2023:

Arafeh provides a warm, friendly and flexible welcome and a great breakfast, at very good value. Nice, quiet and comfy night away from the bustle of the city centre but not too far to walk.

Pub grub at the nearby Waterfront is good. Give yourself at least 45 mins to wander along the Ness islands- good chance of Dippers and Goosanders. For a longer walk, the loop from the Ness mouth by the docks, through the Merkinch Nature Reserve, along the Beauly Firth shoreline and back along the Cally canal is a 2 hours well spent. Chances of Otter too.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th April 2023:

Lovely, clean b&b very close to city centre. Sweet room up in the eves. Parking not easy but our host was very helpful. A wee suggestion is to put some water for the kettle in the room - we had to go downstairs to the bathroom and wait for another guest to leave before we make a cup of tea.

I stayed for 2 weeks for a research trip, and I was very well looked after! I enjoyed the breakfasts and the kindness of my hosts, and I would definitely recommend The Quaich to anyone wanting to stay in Inverness.

Lovely little B&B, very clean and modern, hosts very friendly and helpful. Five minute walk to the centre. Would stay here again.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2021:

Nice little B&B on a street with a lot of competition. My room was at the back of the house so I heard none of the house from the bustling street. The room was clean & cozy.

The B&B is located in dowtown Inverness. Many shops & restaurants are within walking distances. If you love books, go to Leakey's Book Shop. Want a good burger? Go to the Grumpy Chef.

Would Recommend: Yes

It suited my purpose for an early start not toop far from the bus station

Host on hand to welcome and orient to facilities. Limited parking available. This is not a bed & breakfast. No breakfast facilities available.

Several lovely restaurants and bars within close walking distance / town center.

Would Recommend: Yes

Unfortunately we stopped serving breakfast due to COVID and because not having the 2 meter distance requirement in the dining room. In addition we make it clear that breakfast is not included when people make a reservation. We have reduced our prices by 40% this year and we are spending more on cleaning and hygiene as health and safety is our priority and we are trying to make everyone one happy. We are hoping to start serving breakfast next season.
