Pros:

Location was great, very near to the bus station.

Pros:

This is my favourite place to stay when I'm in Inverness on a shopping trip.I always come here, it's just a 15 minute drive . I love the old world charm, the rooms are comfortable and clean, (the bath towels are thick and luxurious )the food is amazing and the hosts are wonderful, so warm and welcoming. It is in a great location, just a
5 minute walk to the beach. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
