Una locanda sul mare in salsa scozzese
Pros:

La posizione eccezionale, tranquilla e suggestiva. Gli arredi hanno uno stile un po’ retrò, ma contribuiscono all’atmosfera. Il vero fiore all’occhiello è la cucina. Si mangia benissimo. La carne è davvero squisita da assaggiare, come i dolci.

Cons:

La tv non è Smart, ma nell’ insieme è solo un dettaglio.

Pros:

Hotel plein de charme au bord de l'eau. La chambre n'est pas très grande mais très cosy et avec une vue très agréable. Propreté irréprochable. Le petit-déjeuner est très correct. Emplacement juste devant pour la voiture.

Cons:

Un peu loin du centre d'Inverness si vous êtes à pieds, mais pas de soucis si vous disposez d'une voiture.

Pros:

The room was clean and well equipped

Cons:

The floors creak really loudly and you can hear every movement someone makes above, below or to the right. Very hard time sleeping.

Nettes Hotel direkt am Wasser
Pros:

Unser Zimmer mit Meerblick hatte einen tollen Ausblick. Das Hotel hatte zwar wenige eigene Parkplätze, aber ein großer öffentlicher Parkplatz liegt direkt gegenüber.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war hellhörig und muffelte. Die Matratzen waren sehr unbequem. Dass das Hotel über keine Aufzug verfügt, ist auch nicht optimal.
