Coziest little bed and breakfast, the owners were so kind and accommodating. The rooms were like a little dream so comfy and warm . Definitely my fav place I’ve ever stayed in Scotland. Their pub food is the best ever Please try their broccoli soup and their sticky toffee pudding. It was the warmest coziest stay. Definitely recommend!

Warm welcome… beautiful rooms.
Really beautiful renovated property. Rooms well appointed with so many wonderful touches like complimentary savoury and sweet snacks. We were staying her under sad circumstances… the staff were so attentive and caring.
Claire, 1-night trip

We had a wonderful stay. First night after 15 hours of travel. It was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the curtains blocked out all sunlight. We slept for 12 hours!

Loved this spot! We spent a week in Scotland and stayed at 5 different hotels. This was by far my favorite. The room was super clean and the bathroom was nice and spacious. We had dinner in the pub and the food was delicious. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
Darrin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful room and well appointed. Lovely pub with quintessential pub food. Great for post day pints. Staff was wonderful. If you’re in Inverness it’s worth every penny or farthing rather.

Sean, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property is in a very convenient location. Comfortable beds and quiet except for creaky floorboards and the heater going off and not being able to turn back on. Breakfast could be better and the staff better trained as they were very young.
Maree, 4-night trip

Very pleasant room, friendly and helpful staff. Pub downstairs had good food and lovely ambiance. Was unsure at first staying above a pub as I was travelling with my child, but it felt comfortable and safe.
