Dolphin Bay Suites

Wir waren hier zu dritt in unserem Schottlandurlaub. Unser Aufenthalt hier war einer der besten in diesem 14 tägigen Rundtrip. Von unserem Zimmer im oberen Stockwerk hatten wir eine schöne Sicht auf die Bucht und viel Ruhe gehabt. Die Ausstattung war für uns top. Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten. Wer es abseits der großen Orte mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Der Besitzer/Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und hat uns mit vielen schönen Anekdoten und Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt versorgt. Vom Hotel konnten wir leider keine Delfine aus sehen, doch nach einer Autofahrt auf die gegenüberliegende Seite haben wir einen Platz entdeckt, wo die Sichtung sehr zuverlässig war. Wir kommen gerne wieder, wenn die Zukunft es zu lässt und wir wieder nach Schottland wollen.

Lovely, well equipped and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting.

Solo traveller made to feel very welcome at check in, nothing was too much trouble for the host.

I regularly visit Inverness for work purposes and would normally stop closer to the town centre; however, on this occasion the available accommodation was minimal. The Dolphin Bay Suites was one of the few remaining places and I must admit I was very surprised and pleased with the rooms and facilities (more TVs than I have at home). I actually tried to book the same place the following week but, not surprisingly, they were all booked. I arrived late evening after the owners had left for the day but, unlike some other reports, I found the attentive nature and instructions for gaining access to my suite very straight forward. I had to make a call over the wifi code which was resolved quickly. There was even some milk in the fridge to allow that late night cup of tea until some other provisions were obtained. I would be seeking these suites out if I visited the area on a holiday, especially with a family, as there are good local facilities.

We got a friendly welcome from the owner on our arrival. We have a lovely long weekend family break and we would definitely stay at Dolphin Bay Suites again.

Difficult to find, when arriving at night- no sign outside, and noone told me in advance that i would need to find an open door, then find the phone and make a phone call to find out the room number and location of key.Flat was cold on arrival. Did not have hot water and I needed to boil kettles to enable me to have a bath. No hot water for a shower. Owner was very upset when I told her, and asked why I had not called at the time- well, it was 11.30pm when I had had my bath, and 7am next morning when i tried to shower.. and to phone, you had to go out in the cold passageway opposite the front door, as there are no mobile phone that work in this pretty little village- vodaphone is good, but apparently not orange or EE. Not easy, and no onsite presence of owners is a problem. further, there were no toiletries, so I had no shampoo or soap. Did provide tea and coffee, and filter coffee- lovely touch:, but sadly no decaff tea or coffee. Owner said this was because it was self catering accommodation, not a hotel...Yet owner is using hotels.com? Although the wi-fi was good, and the village of Ardesier absolutley gorgeous, I really wished i had chosen to stay elsewhere.

Fantastic apartment, really comfy and so nice not to be in a hotel, great cooking facilities and the morning views were spectacular as were the sunsets

Excellent séjour,super appartement, cadre grandiose.Tank you Mr Paul, we love Dolphin Bay'

Had a four day stay and enjoyed it very much the suite was clean and tidy, and had everything you need. Excellent base for visiting the highlands. We would definitely visit again

Three adults stayed 3 nights. We arrived in evening, talked by phone with owner who told us the room number and got in without difficulty. The apartment was a bit cold and could not figure out how to operate the heating. My fault in not calling to ask. Days later the apartment was too warm. The flat is relatively large, except the bathroom. Kitchen is well equipped. Allow about 20 minutes travel time to downtown Inverness. We looked frequently for dolphins and whales, but saw none. The place is quiet and comfortable. We would go again and stay here.
