“My favorite hotel”

The Anderson

Jun 21, 2006
1/1 found this review helpful

Of all the memorable hotels I’ve visited in Britain, The Anderson in Fortrose near Inverness is the one I’m most eager to return to. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail of owners, Jim and Anne Anderson set this nine-room hotel apart. We were treated with such warmth and thoughtfulness we felt like favorite friends. Our room was quite pleasant with much thought given to our comfort. The whisky bar was a congenial place where locals as well as hotel guests go. The food in the restaurant at The Anderson was worth going out of the way for. Anne is a cook with style and taste and foods I enjoyed there ranged from falafel to mutton. One night when the dining room was crowded, a family had a fussy toddler. Jim (a marvelous man of many talents) who was filling several roles in both dining room and kitchen, quickly brought a toy to the table that kept the child busy and quiet. On our last day at the hotel, we planned to leave before the regular breakfast hour. Jim said he’d be glad to fix breakfast for us. We insisted that wasn’t necessary. So he said at least he could leave a French press coffee maker by our door for our morning wake up. Although we had been there for nine days, we were reluctant to leave and so glad that we had discovered this hotel.

My wife and I stayed at The Anderson with our son and we were absolutely delighted at the beautiful location and excellent service we received. The food was terrific, with outstanding menu items each day. The beer, whisky and wine menue was extraordinary and the prices for food and beverage were not high at all. What's more, the place is like a "restaurant with rooms", as our room was right upstairs, and was comfortable and quiet....just what a busy traveler needs. I strongly recommend The Anderson as the perfect place to stay, especially if you are just passing through or spending a long weekend exploring the beautiful seascape or any one of the many local, magical golf courses. Simply the Best, we will be back.

I'll be back again and again. A lovely little inn with an excellent restaurant & friendly bar. They use local ingredients with a world view of cuisine. This should get a Michelen Star for its food. The bar has over 200 whiskys from which to choose. They range from the local distillery to some of the rarest whisky in all of Scotland. They are in the CAMRA book for their outstanding selection of beer. Lots of local stuff and and amazing selection of Belgian beer. It really is wonderful place to visit.

The emphasis on fresh local food with excellant presentation was a welcome surprise during my three day stay. I didn't find any other restaurants in the area that came close in quality and service. Great location for touring the Black Isle and the Inverness area.

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
