A really lovely hotel
Pros:

The view, the staff, and the room, oh yes and the breakfast.
Lisa on reception.

Cons:

Only constructive criticism was the shower could have been bigger as the bathroom was enormous.

An ok stay
Pros:

The location was beautiful near the center (10 minutes on foot).

Cons:

The room was on the top floor and there were only stares - kind of old. The building looked like an old house with very old fashioned style, which was ok. I wouldn't reccomend it for young people. Also the pillowcase was clean but it had some marks on them.

Sikkert det bedste og mindste hotel i Inverness
Pros:

Rigt rigtigt klassisk og veldrevet skotsk hotel i fin ejendom lige op ad floden Ness og i rolige omgivelser. Vi boede i dejligt værelse på 2. sal - med stil og alle fornødenheder. God a la carte morgenmad og rart personale.

Sabor agridulce
Pros:

Buena localización y el desayuno estaba rico. Las camas y almohadas eran muy cómodas. Aparcamiento en el alojamiento.

Cons:

Habitaciones en un edificio contiguo, con mucho ruido, con papel pegado que estaba bofado y con pelos en la ducha. Había ruido como de obras… Eramos un grupo de 8, nunca me preguntaron al hacer el check in a qué hora queríamos desayunar, simplemente nos asignaron la última hora. Al llegar a recepción le indicamos que a la hora que nos habían asignado teníamos un crucero por el lago Ness… al final conseguimos desayunar antes, pero por tantas de 3, partiendo parejas… y un poco sin sentido porque había huecos libres. En algunas habitaciones habia agua de cortesia y en otras no… para el precio que tienen, mejorable.

Pros:

Essen lecker, besonders das Abendessen

Cons:

Die Bar hat schon um 11 zu gemacht und um 10.38 Uhr wurde keine Bestellung mehr angenommen. Wenig gastfreundlich/ geschäftstüchtig für Reisende, die einen kurzen Absacker trinken möchten
