Pros:

It's a little odd checking in to a place to stay at the bar with the waitress; however, the place was actually very nice. Location is great, parking is very close. The bunk beds were not the most comfortable for an adult but for children would be fine.

Excellent choice for a stay in Inverness.
Pros:

Excellent location in the heart of Inverness. Restaurant had excellent menu to choose from.

Cons:

Stairs up to the room were a bit challenging but we managed. It’s to be expected in an older building.

Pros:

Atmosphäre im Pub war sehr stimmig.

Cons:

Leider war das Badezimmer sehr verdreckt. Auf den weißen Bodenfliesen waren Unmengen aller menschlichen Haartypen von den vorangegangenen Mietern vorhanden.
Das Parken gestaltete sich schwierig, wenn man nicht Cash bezahlen kann.
Frühstücksbuffet war mit wenig Angebot.
