Guest Reviews
- JOHN (10/5): - Ronald and Caroline were great hosts. They pointed us in the right direction to have a great time on Inverness and we think we saw Nessy on our journey
- Julia (10/5): Cozy B&B with breakfast; ticks all boxes - This was my favorite place to stay for the duration of my travels. I wanted a cozy, classic bed and breakfast experience, and this fulfilled all criteria. You are shown up to a room with nice decor and clean, updated bathrooms. Tea station in the rooms as well. The best part was the breakfast - the hosts cooked up an authentic Scottish breakfast made-to-order, and you are seated in a quaint parlor eating breakfast and looking out the window. The hosts are born and raised and happy to answer questions or make recommendations. I was most pleased with the whole experience and would like to come back in the future.
- George (6/5): Stay spoiled by payment complication. - Pre booked and supposedly pre-paid through Hotels.com but host presented a "complication" with the pre-payment that ended up seeking cash payment, which was most inconvenient and unique experience with Hotels.com.
No such experience with 7 other hotels booked at same time !!!!!
- Chandra (10/5): - Beautiful home! We truly enjoyed our short stay here while passing through Inverness. Very clean, comfortable bed, easy access to the downtown area, and our host was super helpful in directing us where to go for a late meal when we arrived later evening:) They really do make you feel right at home, and hands down best breakfast we had on our trip! They go over and above. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
- Marla (10/5): Loved it - Wonderful stay, I wish we were there longer. The breakfast was fantastic
- Morgan (10/5): - Ranald and Caroline were the most excellent hosts! My brother and I stayed here for a few nights and enjoyed the coziness of their bed and breakfast. We also loved that the location was a short walk to the Inverness city center, especially enjoying all of the spring blooms.
Each morning Ranald and Caroline provided a lovely breakfast with coffee and tea. They also recommended several places in and around Inverness and were so kind and personable. We really enjoyed our stay! I hope to be back again soon!!

Comfortable, well equipped room. Generous, delicious breakfast. Beautiful grounds. Exceptional on all levels.

The attention to detail was no where more apparent than when served with a truly delicious breakfast! Beautiful scrambled eggs, free range of course! Delicious absolutely delicious!

- Victoria (4/5): terrible location, right next to VERY busy street. - terrible location, right next to VERY busy street. Let's start with the positive: clean, great breakfast room, polite hosts, 20 minute walk to center of town.
Negative: the hotel is right on a very busy street with cars zooming past as late as midnight and as early as 6 am. could barely sleep. in addition, the single bed i slept in was too small, with my feet right above the edge.
the parking spot is WAY too narrow. as we were driving out of it, backward, the "man of the house" decided it was a good idea to intervene in the direction I was giving to the drivers. I assume he thought we, as 2 women in their 50s driving, needed some help. the result was that we busted out review mirror. the man of the house did not apologize, but proceeded to tell us how to put it back together - which did not work as several small pieces had been broken off. lucky we found a shop in town which helped us and fixed it.
would NEVER stay there again
