Nice place on arrival, I stayed in the building next door, unfortunalty I got the ground floor at the rear. Staying on my own I think they took advantage of this because the view from the room was a brick wall. Nothing worst having to ask to be moved. I can't beleive they sell this room for £100 pn!!!!!

We stayed here for one night whilst in Inverness on business, having attended a trade event in the functions suite a couple of months previously. We had eaten lunch and dinner that day and found it to be excellent. On the basis of that we returned. The rooms are clean and well-decorated and the ones on the front have a... More

Having booked via "booking.com" We arrived as many do who venture to this Highland city, tired from the journey and looking forward to relaxing in our room and getting some well earned sleep. This was not to be. From about 8 pm an event in the functions room below burst into life. Thump thump thump almost non stop for hours.... More

We are very disappointed and much regret that you appear to have had such an unpleasant stay with us. We do make considerable effort to advise potential guests about dates that there will be loud music until midnight. We perhaps assume that when an event is taking place and the arriving guests are advised that they are accepting the 12... More

Had a quick stay here over the weekend. Arrived and was efficiently checked in. Rooms were nice, spacious, bathroom modern, Tea & coffee and biscuits in the room. Great little stay. Next morning, was in a rush for breakfast, so they made us up sandwiches to take away. I would stay again.

Really glad you enjoyed your High Tea experience. We are one of the few places in town who offer this traditional early evening meal. I wonder iof you would be good enough to repeat his one in our TripAdvisor Restaurants section which needs satisfied clients like you to recommend the restaurant. More
