(1,008 reviews) Nice place and the proximity to the train station couldn’t be better unless it was actually in the station! I would stay again but the hotel could use updating. One of the rooms had some heating issues but was later relocated to a different room and the issue was resolved. However, the breakfast could use some work, the eggs were not very good and the baked goods a little dry.

(142 reviews) What a wonderful property outside of Inverness. The building sits directly on the Beauly Firth with excellent views to to the north. Breakfast is included and was very good. Dinner was an option but was well worth it. They have a premium chef and engaged staff. I recommend dinner on site rather than Inverness. Our room was nice, with a traditional feel that was a natural fit for this property. A morning walk of the grounds and having tea sitting on a bench overlooking the firth capped a perfect stay. I will make for a longer stay if I ever get back to Inverness.
