Pros:

Posizione eccellente per visitare Inverness e dintorni
Vicinissimo alla stazione di treni e bus
Stanza e bagno molto grandi
Camera molto bella
Sembrava un po’ una locanda con sotto il ristorante e sopra, attraverso la scaletta, le stanze in cui dormire
Una sera abbiamo cenato al ristorante ed è stato molto buono

Cons:

Premetto che neanche pensavo che la colazione fosse inclusa
Ci hanno detto che c’era la continental breakfast nel prezzo pagato per la stanza, quindi abbiamo provato
In realtà c’era solo caffè e qualche cornetto, per me che sono amante della colazione soprattutto quando viaggio, non molto invitante. Il secondo giorno abbiamo preferito andare fuori

Pros:

The location of the B&B was good but the parking was a bit odd to get to but we managed. The staff were extremely pleasant. The washroom in the room was very comfortable and had enough room to move around. The shower was great.

Cons:

I wasn't aware the rooms were above a bar. The room was a bit awkward as part of the ceiling was slanted and made the room feel closed in.

A great place to stay out of the way.
Pros:

The staff is amazing. My room was quiet, clean, and nice. The restaurant has some really great food and drink. It's close enough to everything but still away from the hustle and bustle.

Perfect location, close to everything but in a quiet area. Room was spacious and clean, felt very homey. Beds comfy. Little noise from downstairs. Staff was very friendly and helpful! Restaurant downstairs was the best meal we had the entire trip.
