“Very Disappointing”

4/6 found this review helpful

We found this to be a very disappointing dining experience. The food was average to say the least. The dining room is in need of several repairs. The crockery and cutlery looks as if it has come from a car boot sale - nothing matches. We would certainly not return - there are plenty of better places to dine out in the Inverness area

“The Gem of the Black Isle”

4/4 found this review helpful

The complete package: whiskey bar with 160 different malts, awesome food with deserts to die for, welcoming atmosphere and a good night's sleep. The Anderson is a must even if you have to change your plans to get there.

“Don't expect haute cuisine”

4/7 found this review helpful

Not sure why this has such a good rating. I do understand that the new American owners are trying hard, but they've done some pretty weird things with this previously perfectly normal pub. The food we ate there was disappointing: fancied-up with novelty sauces and over-the-top garnishes, rather than reflecting really good local produce. But Americans may like it.

I have stayed at this hotel on many occasions and I am always delighted to return. The food is excellent, the selection of whisky and beer on offer is simply outstanding, and the friendliness of the owners and the staff is very genuine. They are all very enthusiastic and work together as a team to ensure you enjoy your stay.
You have only to be in the hotel for a short time and you feel very comfortable.

“A Super Stop Off”

The Anderson

May 10, 2005
4/4 found this review helpful

Whilst touring the Highlands of Scotland, sightseeing and visiting friends we stopped off at 'The Anderson' hotel/pub/restuarant in the pretty town of Fortrose on the Black Isle - a real delight in itself. Its off of the A9 road near Inverness but well worth the small diversion. Here you will find a most genuine piece of Scotland that's very much alive & well. Its off the beaten track and there's space to breath here, think, talk and relax.

The Anderson is a wonderful place, an historic building, in a beautiful location and then fully equipped with all the delights you would ever want for food, or a stay and more. Its not a busy place, nor is it modern and crammed with contempary designs - its a home from home suitable for both the local or the weary traveller passing through. You wont feel out of place whoever you are.

The food and drink was simply fantastic, attention to detail beyond many other establishments and the quality comparable to that of any fashionable City centre main stay eateries. Staff were pleasant and courteous and that Scottish smile you receive seems to get longer and longer.....................

Well recommended and well worth visiting - if you're up that way.
