We loved this hidden gem of a B&B. It is along a street with many others B&B's and I am so pleased we picked the Atherstone Guest House. Ally and Ruth are wonderful hosts. We were a late check in but still warmly greeted, Ruth even had freshly made banana bread in our room awaiting us. As there was the... More

Ruth and Ally welcomed our family in like long lost friends. The rooms were wonderful and breakfast was excellent. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like a shelf in the bathroom where you can place your toiletries. Enough towel racks. Special treats by each bed. Menus in the den were very helpful in choosing where to dine. Even the lighting when... More

We stayed for one night whilst on a whistle stop tour of Scotland and we wished we could have stayed for longer... Once we arrived in our room, we were greeted by homemade chocolate crispy cake which was absolutely scrumptious! Our room was modern, bright, clean and had a lovely ensuite bathroom. This guesthouse is within a few minutes walk... More

A lovely house, just a 5 minute walk from the Center. A perfect spot to explore Inverness or the highlands, especially with the owners ex-Highland guide experience! Nothing is too much trouble for Atherstone b&b, and I was greatly refuelled by my stay, particularly by the delicious breakfast!

We stayed for two night's at Ruth&Ally's lovely Bed and Breakfast and felt to be in absolutely good hands. Ally had some great recommendations for dinner, drinks (oh, we might have had one too many...) and places to visit. And Ruth gave us some homemade chocolate fudge which was the best we've ever tasted! The breakfast was great, we had... More

We stayed here just for a night while on a 4day tour, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Ally & Ruth gave us a warm welcome into their home - it was very cosy and homely, did not feel like we were away from home. Our room was no.4, a bit small but the en-suite very much accommodated for it. We were... More

Our family of four came to this lovely B&B on a tour in late December 2012 and had no idea what to expect. We found ourselves welcomed into what felt more like a home than a hotel, and one where the hosts set out only to please. The rooms were modern, clean and light, welcome on a dour evening. Ally...

A warm welcome from Ruth & Ally, comfy beds & en suite in all rooms, a superb breakfast - all the ingredients are there for a super stay very close to the centre of Inverness. Add in all the good restaurants, pubs and other attractions in walking distance and you have a winning combination for a great stay!

My friend and I stayed here for one night on a Rabbie's Tour recently and couldn't have asked for better accommodations. Extremely comfortable and clean, and the hosts are so warm and welcoming. Accommodations and breakfast were both perfect. They were even able to furnish gluten-free toast for my celiac friend! Highly recommend.
