This B&B has strict check-in times. I arrived at 16:30 (on time) the owner was not present. 10 mins later he rolled up asking if I was waiting for him. I asked if he was the proprietor as he hadn't bothered to introduce himself. He shrugged off the fact he was late without apology simply saying he's usually there! Not... More

I stayed here for two nights and found the place to be in a good location (short walk to downtown and to train station), have clean, quiet rooms, and serve an excellent Scottish breakfast. Kenny is a very friendly guy who makes you feel very welcome. The other guests were the real highlight and the breakfast conversations were quite engaging.... More

I stayed for one night. I tried to contact Kenny about checking in early but no one answered the phone at all. I had tried calling numerous times and at different time of the day but had no luck. Kenny was very friendly the rooms are pretty dated and the bathroom was not very clean. Breakfast was good and everyone... More

Clean, comfortable, great breakfast, well located - the title speaks for itself - and all at a very reasonable price. This B&B is an old-fashioned gem of a place, only 5 mins walk across the river to the city centre. I had a very comfortable stay here on 3 separate nights during my rail trip from Stonehaven to Kyle of... More

Absolutely dreadful place. We couldn't ignore the filth of the place. It has never been cleaned properly and never dusted. The smell of dogs greeted us as well as we arrived. Even the bed boards were covered in dust and a mucky soap bar was left in the toilet for use, what an insult!!!! Never again!!!! AM from Mexico

Was met by the proprietor Kenny upon arrival and he's a cheery chap, just the right kind of guy to run a B&B. Told me some good places to go for a meal (including The Mustard Seed which was fantastic) and answered any questions I had. I was in room 7, a nice little en-suite room with freeview and access...

I stayed here for one night before heading out on walking holiday. It was OK, but nothing more. The room was small and the decor was tired, but it was clean, the breakfast was good. I was surprised to find the heating on in my room although it was a rather warm day. Also a fan heater in the dining... More

Melrose Villa is located under a 10 minute walk from Inverness City centre - just over the bridge. I was up for the big RUNRIG concert in the Northern Meeting Park, which was also just a 5 minute walk away, so couldn't fault the location. My single room with en suite was fine for me. Very small with a wall-mounted... More
