Waste of money. We paid like $500/night to stay here. Parking was a nightmare, breakfast was a joke, had to climb over cleaners stuff to get our bags downstairs. Food was subpar in general. Staff seemed clueless. Worth no more than $150/night.

Traveling with kids can be complicated, but this stay was absolutely excellent. The rooms were both spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and check in/out was a breeze. There’s no lift, so be prepared to carry luggage up the stairs.

We had a nice cozy room above the Pub. The owner was very kind. The location was convenient to both the bus station and the train station. Our booking on Expedia was supposed to have included continental breakfast. The continental breakfast options were almost non-existent (think dry cereal and toast). The accommodations combined with the limited breakfast made it not worth the price we paid.

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.
