The owners, Sheila and Alan were excellent hosts. We were spoiled in their lovely guesthouse. So many breakfast choices. The setting is quiet and peaceful. The room was large and super clean. They have thought of everything! Large selection of in room teas and coffees, biscuits, hot chocolate, tea cakes. A fridge with water, oranges and Coke. A white noise machine, a smart speaker. It certainly was a beautiful home away from home. Tastefully decorated with beautiful Scottish ceramic...

A warm welcome from Rach and a comfortable and cozy room.
Excellent dinner recommendations and a courtesy shuttle from the Loch Ness Inn made dining easy allowing a glass of wine with dinner.
Very comfortable bed in the Mary Queen of Scots room and a wonderful Scottish breakfast and terrific conversation with Mark.

An absolute gem; what we'd imagined an upscale highland hotel could be.
Fabulous room (we stayed in a deluxe) that had a great king bed, an outdoor private patio that was a literal breath of fresh air - with the sounds of birds in the evening, and others in the morning. Bathroom was spacious, with lovely big towels.
The pub was warm, the dinner very tasty, and the breakfast (included) was healthy and fresh.
This is a must for a couple looking for a quiet comfortable stay; and it's just in the...

Was in Inverness for business, the train station is only 10 minutes walk from there, same with bus drop off from the airport. The site is wonderful with fabulous restaurants and likely the best view of the Loch Ness River you can find. Only one little hiccup is this is not a regular hotel with a lobby, so you need to make arrangements to get your keys, which is often just next door at a restaurant waiting for you with your name on them with instructions. We loved this great apartment. Good job!
