We stopped in for a sunday evening meal and it was fantastic. Has the 3 course set meal. Scottish egg was perfect, chicken stuffed with mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes was great as well and the sticky toffee pudding was also wonderful. One of the best meals we had in our 2 weeks in scotland.
Absolutely delightful hotel. Fantastic views of Inverness castle from my room. Very spacious rooms with plenty of tea/coffee facilities. Large bathroom. Food in the restaurant was superb as was breakfast. Will definitely stay again when in Inverness
Excelente food. We just went to have dinner and all we ordered was pretty good. Much better than we had expected Nice presentation and really good
Amazing hotel! Friendly staff, unparalleled tea tray, and the most conformable beds in Scotland. Nice quiet location, but just a short walk from the city centre. Absolutely reccomend!
Didn't stay at the hotel but we had an excellent evening meal at the restaurant. The staff were so friendly and the food was really delicious. First time here and we will certainly return. Nothing was rushed, it was a nice relaxing evening to enjoy our meal. Well done to all the team
Really enjoyed our stay in this hotel,,super comfortable rooms, excellent staff, super courteous, excellent food, from breakfast to dinner top notch, A+ no doubt. Thank you for welcoming us and making us feel like home. Have a great day.
We really enjoyed our stay. Very convenient location! The included breakfast was truly too notch! Incredible view from our apartment balcony too (I did remove a couple tents that were in the foreground)
I had a wonderful experience after being put up for the night by Scotrail. I had missed dinner service and would miss breakfast service due to the time of my train the next morning. The staff member working, Mo, did everything he could to ensure I was taken care of considering these circumstances. Mo is an asset to this hotel and made my rubbish circumstances a lot less rubbish with his fantastic service!
