Stayed here for a night on a family holiday through scotland. The location is great and the room were of an average standard. We could feel mattress springs in our backs and had to use the duvet to provide extra padding. Our stay started well enough. But it turned sour in the morning. I was having a problem with the...

We think that it requires to be known, that there is another side to this poor review. We here at Strathness House, go that little bit further to make everybody’s stay here as pleasant and as comfortable as possible as you can see from our previous reviews. This guest and some of his family from India, stayed with us for... More

Strathness House is central to everything in beautiful Inverness. Our room was large, light and airy with a view of River Ness. Our hosts we extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The recommendations for dining were spot on, and our laundry was taken care of overnight when we found out that the laundromat had closed. We were very grateful. We would definitely... More

Once more, a pleasant stay with Joan & Javed. What a pity some of the more expensive hotels around can't provide the same service. Good breakfasts freshly cooked, clean & comfortable rooms at a reasonable price. What more can you ask for?

Javed and Joan made our stay at Strathness House pure pleasure. We rented a car so we could cover more territory and Javed gave us very good directions and suggestions for special places to stop along the way. We only got lost once ~ after leaving the petrol station. Damn those round abouts! The countryside is beautiful. Inverness is like... More

Superbly helpful and friendly, excellent location (very close to town but quiet location on river), very well appointed, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable, first rate breakfast, relaxing sitting room. Would have happily stayed for a week.

Strathness House was lovely! Joan and her husband were very very helpful. We arrived a bit before the room was ready but they offered to hold our bags. By the time we returned with the bags, they had the room ready for us. Joan shared a wealth of information regarding restaurants and we finally found a place to hear good... More

We stayed here for one night on the way up to Orkney, and we wished we had been staying longer. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom very clean and modern; clearly all had been refurbished quite recently. We had a river view room and the views were excellent. The lounge downstairs was comfortable as was the breakfast room... More

Strathness House was such a wonderful place to stay in Inverness. It is run by a lovely couple who made my aunt and myself feel very welcome. The House is centrally located near restaurants, shops, and the train station. We had a fabulous water view from our room. Downstairs there is a nice, comfortable lounge which is perfect, quiet spot... More

The place we reserved in Inverness was not good, but we were relieved to get into Strathness House. It was very clean, nicely furnished, conveniently located, great view over the River Ness and the hosts were wonderful! They were so helpful and accommodating. We heartily commend Strathness to others.

Very highly recommended. There is a beautiful view of Inverness Castle just across the river, and a cathedral is next door. The location is convenient to everything. The hotel is a building that looks like a castle, but has charming renovated rooms and a super modern bathroom. There was an electric kettle in the room for tea and coffee with... More
