Guest Reviews
- claudiasD3684WH (10/5): Delightful staff! - My stay at the clansman hotel was short but intense, but I couldn't have wished for anything better for that price! Iain, truly a saint, was super kind and attentive to me as a guest and none of my requests ever seemed to be a problem (which I'm otherwise used to, sadly). I arrived late and had to leave early both mornings, as well as having some special diet requirements (gluten free). Everything was seen to and provided. I even got to borrow a thermos flask for my outing during the day, and was graciously lent the laundry room to dry my soaked clothes after a rainy day on Skye, for which I'm truly grateful. Could not recommend this small, charming, central little hotel enough if you're just travelling but would like a little more comfort than just a hostel.
- Celide (10/5): - Ian and the staff were very kind and knowledgeable. Housekeeping was thorough and friendly. We felt very comfortable staying there.
- Peter (10/5): - Very friendly staff. Comfortable rooms and great location!!
- M1669DBjenb (10/5): Welcome home away from home - The welcome at the MacDougall Clansman is warm and genuine. The family have been in the hotel for many years and they are generous with their knowledge and time to ensure all guest needs are taken care of. Comfortable and quiet, despite the fantastic central location close to lively nightlife. Breakfast is delicious.
- nicki01234 (10/5): Excellent stay! - Nice & clean hotel that runs more like a B&B than hotel, with staff that make you feel very welcome. Excellent location to get anywhere you need to in Inverness via foot, bus, or train.
- Kristen (10/5): - Nice & clean hotel that runs more like a B&B than hotel, with staff that make you feel very welcome. Excellent location to get anywhere you need to in Inverness via foot, bus, or train.
- Paul (10/5): Great Place to Rest Your Head in Inverness - Clean, comfortable, quiet, in a great location with a fantastic host and complimentary made-to-order breakfast.
- carol e (10/5): Great Hotel - The room and beds were clean and comfortable. The host was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the absolute best we’ve had during this trip.
- Terence (8/5): - Very good for 2 star property
- sheileaghl (10/5): Day in Inverness - My room was spacious,very clean,quiet and had a pleasant view. The hotel staff and owner are very helpful going out of their way to be accommodating.
- travelmermaid1031 (10/5): Perfect Place to Stay in Inverness! - Perfect location, in the heart of Inverness, with top notch towels and linens, very comfortable bed and impeccably decorated from the curtains to the pillows! It was wonderful meeting the very helpful MacDougall family hotel manager and enjoying the full hot breakfast in the morning!
- David (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful hosts. Plenty of breakfast options and helped to sort an early breakfast out for when we had a coach trip to the Isle of Skye
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great service! Great communication and such kind people from even before I got there. Super convenient location as well
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The Clansman hotel is in a great location near the train station and central Inverness. Staff/owners were accommodating and helpful. A clean, but older facility.
- Victoria (10/5): - Stayed at the MacDougal Clansman Hotel for 3 nights this summer on a girls trip for myself and my aunt in her 60's. This is the perfect family-run operation in my opinion. Iain was in communication with us to coordinate for our check-in (we arrived on an incredibly early train into Inverness, unfortunately), and he was very accommodating. Not only did he offer to keep our bags, but a room opened up and he let us switch into the free room without any fuss so we could freshen up earlier than we'd thought we'd be able to. We ended up staying on the 2nd floor corner room (3rd floor for the fellow Americans) and had a great view down the street so we could people watch on our early nights. Some tourists out in the area were louder than others, but it was wholly unrelated to this hotel - I'll absolutely stay here again if I find myself in Inverness again. Very safe and as comfortable as staying with your own family. Its a great location, you can walk anywhere you'll need to get in Inverness and won't have to call a cab. In fact, between the bus station (the ladies in the counter at the bus station were SUPER helpful as well - I highly recommend stopping by in person to coordinate your out-of-town travels) and the hop-on/hop-off bus, we were able to get all around town. We also took a day trip to Skye one of the days staying here and could walk to the pick-up spot easily! I can't emphasize the convenience of this location enough. Thank you Iain and team! We'll be back!
- Anneli (10/5): - Great location and staff were going out of their way to help
- Iris (10/5): - I would return to this hotel
- Irisvivas (10/5): Exploring Historic Inverness and the Highlands - Excellent Stay This hotel truly feels like a home away from home. Guests are given a key to come and go as they please, as the front door is closed early for security. We had scheduled day trips that required us to leave before breakfast, and the host kindly prepared a basket with fruit, pastries, and instructions to make coffee — a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. The history of the hotel is remarkable. It is still operated by descendants of the MacDougall Clan, and you can see the heritage proudly displayed — from the tartan carpets to the upholstered chairs wearing the clan’s colors. The hotel stands tall on a hill overlooking the River Ness and is located next to a church and graveyard steeped in the history of Inverness, including ties to the Battle of Culloden. Nearby, you'll find the Cathedral, the Castle, and other historic sites — all faithful witnesses to the resilience and beauty of this land through the passage of time. Surrounded by restaurants, entertainment venues, and easily walkable streets, the hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the city. I would stay here if I return to Inverness. Iris Vivas
- Kelsey (10/5): - Lovely place with a great breakfast! Very accommodating and clean. If we are ever in Inverness again we will be staying here again! Rooms were comfortable!
- William (8/5): - Great location near the pubs and restaurants. Staff was friendly and the room was serviceable for the brief stay we had in Inverness.
- Michelle (10/5): - The hotel was very nice and the morning breakfast was delicious. It all had an old world charm.
- Simon (10/5): Quaint hotel, excellent service - Proprietor was very friendly and helpful and made sure I had breakfast when I had to go to work in the early hours
- Janette (10/5): - Great family run hotel. The room was spotless and Ian was very accommodating and provided early breakfast for us on both days as we had early departures. We would stay there again if we return to Inverness.
- Richard (10/5): Fantastic - Fantastic little hotel, city centre, friendly owners and staff
- Cynthia (10/5): - Don't be put off by the musty smell in the foyer when you enter. It is an old building, but full of charm. Our room was impecably clean with a super comfy bed, elec kettle with tea and coffee and a few lovely biscuits! When the pubs in the area close it can be a bit noisy but bring your earplugs and you'll be fine! Unfortunately we had to leave on our tours early each morning so didn't get to experience the full breakfast provided in a lovely dining room. However Ian was very accommodating and provided us with everything we needed for a cold breakfast- fruit, croissants, and energy bars.
- Robert (10/5): - This hotel is right on Church Street and right in the middle of all the shops, pubs, etc. The owner was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. We left very early for Edinburgh and he left out a kettle to make coffee, toaster, bread, cereals and other snacks because we were missing the breakfast that was included in the price.
- Paradise28405108503 (10/5): Great place to stay in Inverness - Great place to stay in Inverness at a reasonable price. Perfect location near attractions, shopping, river, restaurants, and music venues. The hotel is clean and safe. The staff are very accommodating and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel if you’re heading to Inverness!
- X6992DGdavidl (10/5): Excellent, friendly and attentive service. - Excellent all round. A delightful personally-run hotel - a real antidote to many larger establishments. Very clean and comfortable. Ideal position in the centre of Inverness but still relatively quiet.
- Diane (10/5): - What a hidden gem! This is a very welcoming, clean, and comfortable place to stay in Inverness. Ian was an excellent host and is very knowledgeable about the area. I highly recommend this hotel! Breakfast was excellent too. The staff went out of their way to ensure a Very pleasant stay.!
- auntjacks (10/5): Great stay at a family owned hotel - Very friendly staff. Delicious breakfast cooked to order from a menu. Price was reasonable, very clean and tidy. Everything in working order and everything explained. Great location, close to transportation, the river, and lots of well rated restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.
- Aniko (10/5): - Ausgezeichnete Personal, Service. Sehr höflich. Ich kann das Hotel jeden empfehlen
- Tanya (10/5): - We had the absolute most lovely time. Lucy and Ian were so helpful and kind and made our Inverness stay all the more enjoyable.
- D8182LCbillyr (10/5): Highly recommend - Excellent place to stay, friendly staff, close to everything we needed, would definitely go back highly recommended.
- Jennifer (10/5): - Extremely pleasant and hospitable staff with old timey charm. While not an updated facility, it was clean and comfortable. The free breakfast service was an added perk. I would absolutely recommend it and would stay again should I return to Inverness.
- John (10/5): - Good stay, room upgrades, nice breakfast. Would recommend.
- Graham (10/5): - Hotel is in the perfect location in Inverness. Close to the train station, bus station, River Ness and good pubs and restaurants. The owners are friendly as well.
- dnjoudrey (10/5): Lovely family-owned hotel - It's a wonderful family hotel located in the center of town. The room was spacious, quiet, and clean. A wonderful breakfast is included in the price. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I would stay there anytime that I am in Inverness.
- Anne (10/5): - A lovely traditional hotel with personal service. and very good situation in the centre of town. Nice quiet and very clean room. Excellent breakfast was included in the very reasonable price. I hope to stay again when I am in Inverness visiting family.
- Yasushi (8/5): - Hospitality is perfect although the building itself is a bit old. As well, breakfast was very tasty as a typical English one!
- Petra (10/5): Lovely Place - A lovely place, perfect service even better breakfast and a very caring supportive gentleman.
- kencD312AY (10/5): Felt more like a B&B than a hotel - Great hotel in the heart of Inverness. Staff were fantastic from directions to the Parkade and when we said we had to leave early in the morning, we had an assorted light breakfast made for us. While not necessary, was definitely appreciated. Beds were comfy and if we are back in the area, we will definitely visit again.
- Joan (8/5): - This is a family run property with owners who are very helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were delicious. The property is older, located in the historic downtown area of Inverness, very convenient to the railway station, bus lines, tourist facilities and many nearby restaurants, including several with live music. Our room was large and had a very recently renovated bathroom, opening windows and comfortable beds. The only disadvantage was the lack of an elevator.
- Susan (8/5): - The breakfast was good but stale oatmeal cakes and solidified honey. Rooms and decor need an update!
- Mikeflanaga (10/5): Warm and Charming Hotel in center of town. - Warm and welcoming stay at the Macdougall Clansman Hotel. Room and bath were decent size. Free internet. Super friendly hotel operators. Home cooked breakfast served each morning! Easy two block walk to/from train or bus station. Lots of shopping, restaurants, pubs nearby. Would definitely recommend!!
- V199WGrichardg (10/5): Lovely traditional hotel, located near the railway station - What a lovely place to stay, I was looking for somewhere near to the railway station as I had a couple of early journeys to make, only 3 minutes to walk. I was made very welcome when I arrived, the hotel is not modern, more traditional, sticking to the theme of a Clansman. It was very clean, all the facilities were in the room or the lobby as you'd expect, comfy bed. When I filled out the booking form I put on that I'd probably miss breakfast as I had 2 early trains to catch, they arranged for a table to set out with cereals, toast, croissant and milk for me, brilliant. If I return to Inverness, I'll be looking to stay here again.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - We loved this quaint little hotel which is more like a bed and breakfast. The owner is very personable and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and made to order. You are within walking distance to the river, train station and the heart of Inverness. The room was very comfortable.
- Chris (10/5): - A very enjoyable stay
- Roving43334250102 (10/5): A hidden treasure that's a Must stay - Amazing in Every way!! Iain is the Best! He made sure we were comfortable, well fed every morning, gave us a wonderful story about the history of the hotel and was so thoughtful and went out to get GF bread so I too could enjoy toast in the mornings!! The location is Perfect! It's on Church street with Lots of pubs, shops and even several laundry facilities if you need them. Ness river is only a block away and it's only 5 short blocks to the bus station. We were there 6 days, and Loved every minute!! A 15/10 Must stay!
- chris (10/5): - The MacDougall Clansman is a 5 minute walk from the bus or train station. A great feature if you don't have a car. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Breakfast is what you would expect. Everything from cereals and toast to a full fry-up. Coffee. Tea. Juice. For us it was the owner that made the deal. He greeted us upon arrival and did so with a smile that never waned. He was sincere in wanting us to have a great stay and did not disappoint. Going so far as setting up a breakfast option for us early in the morning before regular hours to accommodate our traveling schedule. Highly Recommended.
- Sheila (10/5): Perfect for me - It was perfect for me. I wanted a quiet relaxing stay, near city amenities. Also it was central but minutes from the river for a relaxing walk. Maybe if you want more WiFi and business facilities you would be better off booking a chain hotel. However, the owner did say they could help with urgent matters.
- Vacation780307 (10/5): MacDougall Clansman - Traditional and characterful Highland hotel. It is in a great location within walking distance of train and bus stations. Plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs nearby. It was clean and good value for money. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
- aimeegB153OG (10/5): Loved it! - Iain was a wonderful host! The parking tips were great and the location is unbeatable. My room was spacious, clean & cozy. The breakfast was delicious and a great start to my first day in Scotland. I will be coming back and recommending to all my friends and family!
- Scott (10/5): - Very friendly staff and a good breakfast.
- Brenda (10/5): - Great service and breakfast. Owner was kind and friendly. We enjoyed our stay in Inverness.
- nachogallego78 (10/5): A charming , traditional place. - The hotel is located in the centre of Inverness, near of most of the visitable places. Ian, the manager is one of the most kind and friendly people I have ever met. He run this hotel as previously his father did. It is a tradicitional English/Scotish hotel that offer everything you need. The breakfast is home made and delicious.
- Seanna (10/5): - The area was great! It's walkable to a lot of locations, but the real star of our trip was the owner of the hotel - who truly was outstanding!! Made us feel welcome so welcomed! Breakfast (which was fantastic) was just an added bonus. I would stay here again!
- Andy (10/5): - Good location nice clean hotel good breakfast
- MBR84 (10/5): Amazing stay in Inverness. - Absolutely one of the best stays I’ve ever had. Lain was very communicative from the start of my booking until the day I arrived. He provided recommendations for restaurants, attractions and bus times to Urquhart Castle. This is a family run business so don’t expect the glitz and glam; but do expect attentive and devoted service. They also provided a full complimentary breakfast. I would definitely recommended staying here if you visit Inverness- oh and it’s right in the middle of town!
- IAN (10/5): - Great location - beautifully furnished - Iain is the perfect host
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A perfect, European-style hotel in a great location in Inverness. The owners were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and had a varied selection. We enjoyed what felt like an authentic experience in the city.
- lonewulf44 (10/5): A perfect fit, wonderful stay and service. - A perfect fit, wonderful stay and service. Iain helped make my reservation suit my schedule and timing beyond what I could expect. The location of the hotel seems great for anyone visiting Inverness, and there were shops and restaurants around if needed. My stay was short, but there was still an option for a quick breakfast if needed so I can only imagine how nice if your stay allowed a longer time for breakfast. Without a doubt I will stay here again if or when I am in Inverness.
- KAT120 (10/5): 10 stars - This family run hotel was perfect. It offered 2 twin beds in a quiet area. Everything was very clean. A bit dated but that did not matter to me. The family was super nice. The breakfast was made to order and was delicious. They even offered a basic croissant and coffee to go. ( we had our own mugs) great place to stay.
- Shari (10/5): - Beautiful place with staff who truly care about both their hotel & their guests. Fantastic overall location with a delicious breakfast!
- Mark (10/5): 2 Night stay in inverness - Really helpful owners who dealt with my need for early breakfast very efficiently and also checked about my travel arrangements I would definitly stay again nice location in city centre and close to starion
- J3666UPjuliew (10/5): Lovely Inn in Inverness City Centre - Absolutely lovely place to stay. Excellent location, just about a 5 minute walk from the bus/train station. Clean and comfortable room with coffee/tea & biscuits. Friendly and caring staff that made me feel welcomed and safe. And also quite delicious breakfast!
- EstherCMartinez (10/5): Loved it - Quaint historic hotel more like a B&B. Iain was great. Nice breakfast included in price. Very convenient to walk from train station and to bus station. Iain also made recommendations for dinner and was very helpful with everything including carrying our bags up the few stairs. We would stay there again!
- samvercillo (10/5): Outstanding Family run hotel - Our stay at the hotel was outstanding. It is located walking distance to restaurants shopping and a stones throw to the River Ness. The hotel was clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast topped the cake. Iain went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and we felt at home. I would highly recommend staying at the MacDougall Clansman If visiting Inverness.
- Ann M (10/5): - Wonderful Scottish highland hospitality. Delicious hot breakfast! Location of this family run hotel is excellent for restaurants, shopping, enjoyment of walks along the River Ness.
- Robert (10/5): Loved it! - Lovely hotel right in the heart of Inverness. The room has everything you need and was very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and the ingredients were high quality - which seems to be a rarity these days! Stayed for two nights and would definitely return.
- Mr Marvin A (8/5): My time in Inverness - My whole expierance was grest from start to finsh. Staff were nice and friendly and breakfast was excellant including my eggs. Only downside is cleaner coming into my room without me beeing there in person or warning beforehand. Otherwise a good. Stayed overall.
- Craig (8/5): - Lovely property and superb host/owner. The only negative comment (,which is true for all Inverness), is the 24/7 screeching seagulls...they never sleep. The inclusive breakfast was fab and so close to the station and dining areas.
- Adam (10/5): - Wonderful stay, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast included was delicious.
- Thomas (10/5): Definitely recommend - I would definitely recommend this hotel. Ian, our host was very friendly and helpful. The room was basic, but very comfortable. The shower/toilet was clean. The star of the show was the breakfast. DELICIOUS.
- Myra (10/5): - A lovely stay from start to finish. Fantastic location. Highly recommended!
- Cristina (10/5): - Adoramos a nossa experiência no hotel, o Ian foi extremamente cordial e nos deu ótimas dicas! O hotel é limpo e muito bem localizado, o café uma delícia! Amamos nossa experiência!
- candysL936UX (10/5): Family-run full-service hotel in center of Inverness - A family-run hotel in a quiet location in the center of town, 5-10 minutes from everything, including the bus and train stations. I had a standard room in the back, overlooking the wall of a church. It was wonderfully quiet. The bed was very comfortable, the shower and taps had good pressure and lots of hot water. I had ample room, with a desk, a tv, and a coffee-making setup (which I never used). What I really enjoyed was the atmosphere - a hotel that isn't part of a chain, does not take bus tours or hen parties, has a large lounge with comfy chairs and a library, and where the manager, Iain, goes out of his way to be helpful. Breakfast was classic full English (well, Scottish), with a buffet of cereals, yogurts, fruit, Nutella, and so on, in addition to the cooked-to-order hot meal. There was a can of Walker's oatcakes on each table, and one morning I had cheese and oatcakes for a change. Iain can arrange for an early (not-hot) breakfast if needed. I will stay here whenever I am in Inverness.
- Sheldon (10/5): quaint Scottish hotel - nice quaint family owned hotel. Had a lovely stay!!
- Jack (10/5): - This was our favorite hotel on our trip to Scotland. The location is great and we had a totally comfy stay. This is a family run hotel and you can tell. Iain was a great host and he made sure we felt welcomed. He even set us up with a "do it yourself" breakfast on a day we had to leave early for a tour. The room was quiet and comfortable. It's definitely not ultra-modern... and that's one of the things I loved about it. And you can walk anywhere in town from the hotel in just a few minutes.
- Janette (8/5): - Very centrally located. Close to shops and riverside walks.
- Hebah (6/5): - The owners of the property are very kind and sweet. The breakfast is delicious and they will leave you breakfast is you have to go out early to a tour. It is walkable from every area of town and very close to the train and bus station. There is shopping and wonderful restaurants all around. The street that it is on is busy on the weekend and you can hear people shouting and singing late into the night. I fell asleep despite being a pretty light sleeper. The place is older and quirky which is part of the fun. It could use an update the section I stayed in smelled extremely strong of body odor and me and all my belongings smelled of mildew. By the time I left it was starting to bother me. It smells like that when you enter the property as well. I have allergies and sensitivity to smell so that is something to consider.
- James (10/5): - Very friendly hosts in a location near the train station and many options for dining.
- Rena (10/5): - The personal touch. Iain was so helpful.
- Harry (10/5): - The guy that greeted me was very hospitable and nice to talk to. He made me feel very welcome and also allowed me to leave my belongings on the premise before checking in and after i checked out, so i wouldn't be carrying them with me everywhere. If traveling to Inverness in future, i would definitely be considering staying in this hotel again. Also, the entire hotel is really well decorated, and has a lot of interesting pictures of Scottish heritage and the different clans which I enjoyed looking at
- Jean (8/5): - Comfortable room, pleasant staff, excellent location. Parking is an issue. There is limited one-hour parking on the street for £2, and free overnight. There is a nice inexpensive parking garage about two or three blocks away.
- Paul (8/5): - Decent place but a little tired. The bed was small and uncomfortable, but the host was very friendly and the location very good.
- Gordon (8/5): - The owners/staff were very helpful. We were there fr one night only and we were quite pleased.
- Susan (10/5): - This is a family run hotel that met my needs perfectly. It was a very easy walk from the Inverness train station with lots of shopping, restaurants, and sites within walking distance. Leaky Bookstore is very close too! The gentleman who runs the hotel is fantastic. He insisted on carrying my suitcase up the stairs. Service was excellent, and breakfast was lovely. If I visit Inverness again, I will definitely book this hotel again!
- Debra (10/5): Inverness Charming B&B - Loved our stay at the MacDougall Clansman. We were only in Inverness for two nights and this was the perfect location. Walking distance from many shops, pubs, and restaurants. There isn't an elevator and I had large luggage. Iain was really sweet to carry it up the stairs for me. The breakfast each morning was the best we had in all our stay in Scotland. I would stay here again.
- Amanda (10/5): - This little place is an absolute gem. It is very central and easily walkable from the train station. There are about a million dining and shopping options in the surrounding blocks (make sure you make a dinner reservation Th-Su in the summer)!! Pretty standard amenities in an old building, but what sets them apart is the service. Made to order breakfast in the morning?? Yes please! They were very accommodating with early departures for day tours, having a grab-and-go breakfast selection. They were also very accommodating with allowing us to leave our bags for a while the day we checked out. It is clear that they very much care about their guests’ experiences and are so kind. Would absolutely return.
- Mary (10/5): - Very friendly and super helpful!! Great breakfast and a take away snack early in morning was great. Quiet and cozy. Thank you
- Amanda (10/5): - An absolute delight. Traditional and down to earth. I was made to feel welcome as soon as I arrived. Iain went above and beyond and was helpful all along. There are no frills here. If you want a hotel that’s the same in every city then go there. Breakfast is simple but cooked to order and perfect. Rooms are basic but very clean. All I needed in a stay, clean, confortable abs friendly - I will recommend this hotel to others I know who will appreciate the very friendly and down to earth ambience.
- Eva (10/5): - Everything was so darn charming! From the proprietor(s), to the excellent breakfast, to the immaculate room, to Inverness itself. The best nights sleep I had in my 2.5 weeks in the UK! Check out nearby Leakey's Bookshop if so inclined.
- Karen (10/5): - Very good value for cost.
- Carolyn (10/5): - Perfect, clean hotel in the heart of the dining and music scene in Inverness. Excellent host and excellent breakfast.
- Shea (10/5): WONDERFUL PLACE! - Lucy and Ian are an absolute delight. My train got stuck before Aberdeen due to a road accident, so I gave the hotel a call to let them know I’d be late for check-in hours and to ask what I should do. Lucy gave me easy walking directions from the train station in case I didn’t have them, and then Ian stayed up for me to get there after business hours at 10:45pm! They truly care about their patrons and they make you feel important to them. I’ve been staying all over the UK for the past 2.5 weeks and this place honestly deserves a better star rating. I would recommend this hotel to anyone including my closest family and friends, and that’s really saying something! A definite little gem with wonderful staff.
- Ashley (10/5): - Staying at the Macdougall Clansman Hotel was probably the highlight of our Scotland trip that my fiancé and I took. We traveled to Glasgow, Edinburgh and finally Inverness where we stayed here. We had the best experience from check in and meeting Ian. He was so accommodating and kind, he truly made our experience exceptional. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious as well. Thank you for having us! I definitely recommend this place! We loved it! Definitely will be back!
- kaye (10/5): - Wonderful place, friendly staff, very clean
- Tina (10/5): - Although we were in and out touring Inverness, Ian and Lucy we very hospitable and attentive. I would definitely recommend visiting this Hotel to anyone staying in the area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hosts and great location! - Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out, the hosts made sure the guests are taken care of. We stayed here during our 3-Day tour around the Highlands. Even though we have to leave the hotel early each morning, they still prepared some breakfast items for us to go with! Thank you Lucy and Ian for providing such great services!
- Jenny (10/5): - Just a lovely friendly place to stay
