This was a charming B&B with a delight host. Breakfast was amazing, whether we ate a large Scottish breakfast, or ate small. Everything amazing. Private, in-room bathroom/shower was very appreciated. Easy walk to the heart of Inverness.

Tips:

The Hootinanny sounded and looked very fun, but limited "meal" times made it unsuitable for minors in our multigenerational group. Went to The Black Isle instead and had great pizza, and a super evening. Spent the next day on the actual Black Isle, the Red Castle ruins (GPS directions a bit wonky here), the Rosemarkie Fairy Glenn Falls, and the beach.

The place is sparkling clean, beds comfortable, and shower works great. Gwen is a hospitable, hard working proprietor—- a lovely woman. I found the walk to be about 20 minutes each way and was wishing I had been able to get an accommodation closer to the city side of the Grieg Street Bridge. It wouldn’t have been convenient, for example, to come back for a short rest or to store my luggage, go around the Centre, and then go back to retrieve it. The prices were very fair!

Tips:

Culloden was the highlight of course. The hop on hop off bus was a great way to get an overview and it’s a walkable city. I did love seeing some of the newer stained glass windows in St. Mary’s as well.

Gwen is lovely. The house is beautiful and immaculately clean. There is a fantastic selection for breakfast. The house is within walking distance of the city centre but is in a quiet residential area. Loved it.

Tips:

Off street parking is very limited but there's plenty of street parking right outside the door. Two rooms are not en suite but have private bathrooms.

This was a lovely place to stay and so easy to walk into town across the river with beautiful views. The owners were lovely and friendly they made us feel comfortable and very welcome. Helped us with places to visit which were all lovely. Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of it. Our room was very fresh and clean with a nice veiw. Would definitely return again.

Tips:

Ullapool was a very pretty place. Also Fort Augustus with loads of locks on a hill is lovely friendly people and a boat on lochness made our visit even more enjoyable. A trip on way back to Urquhart Castle on the Loch finished a great day.

Lovely B&B close to the centre but very quiet. Our bedroom was comfortable and spacious with a lovely en-suite. Breakfast was delicious and Gwen was the perfect Hostess.

Tips:

Easy and straightforward walk into the city. We dined at The Kitchen and The Mustard Seed both of which were lovely. We stumbled upon The Malt Room whisky bar. Staff were delightful and they certainly have a huge selection of whisky for all wallets!! Leakeys book shop is always a wonderful experience.

Everything was excellent! A quiet residential neighborhood but close to the city Centre. Gwen and Andy really took care of us. I hope to return.

Tips:

You can walk to the city centre via the footbridge over the River Ness. Bus stop is right out front or it is a 15 minute walk to rail station, shopping and restaurants.

Simply the best B&B. Hosts friendly and welcoming. The rooms spacious comfortable and clean. Bathrooms spotless. Like a home from home. Breakfasts were varied home cooked and delicious. Really we could not fault one thing about this stay.

Tips:

A short walk from the B&B there is a nice canal walk. If eating out best to book. We visited Fields of Culloden and lock ness. We would recommend the boat trip around Lock Ness. You can book when you get there. Aviemore is also worth a visit.

A very warm welcome, the house is stunning, lovely staircase, high ceilings, tastefully decorated. We had a beautiful clean room and bathroom, comfy bed and chairs, tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer, everything we needed. Super bay window with stained glass with a view of the Kessok Bridge in the distance. The breakfasts were delicious, plenty of choice, in beautiful dining room. Lock up garage for my husband's treasured bike.

Tips:

Inverness is a beautiful place to visit on foot, as I was. Fromm the B & B it was a 7 minute walk to the banks of the River Ness. Where there are restaurants, cafes, shops, Ness Bank to walk along and admire the architecture and surrounding hills. Eastgate shopping centre has fabulous shops. Thank you, Gwen & Andy, we will come again to explore more, especially the Battlefield of Culloden and all it's history.

Absolutely amazing! Lovely breakfast in the morning. The shower is hot and has good water pressure too. The bed is extremely comfortable. Short walking distance to the main attractions in the area. Very nice hosts as well. Would definitely come back to stay.

Tips:

Easy day trip by bus to Isle of Skye is a must. Also, Culloden Battlefield is pretty moving. I would see it. An easy 40 min walk to Clava Cairns (Outlander rock to some) is work doing. Finally, a walk along the river to the Ness Islands is lovely.

We had a very warm welcome upon arrival. Room was excellent as was the rest of the B&B. The breakfast was perfectly cooked and more than enough for most people. Well kept little garden to the rear of the property that you can sit and relax in. Good location. Not too busy a road and well within walking distance of the city centre. All in all a very enjoyable stay. No complaints at all.

Tips:

Loads of choices for places to eat in and around the city centre. The castle is worth a look and there are some lovely walks around. The Ness islands walk in particular was nice and is easily accessible for wheelchairs to.
