A lovely spot overlooking the river and just a short walk from pretty much everything in Inverness. Lovely clean, bright room, excellent breakfast and attentive hosts. The brilliant WiFi reception capped off a truly enjoyable experience

We stayed here for a single night. The location was perfect, with ample parking available across the street. One of the pleasant surprise was free wi-fi! The room, though small, was adequately furnished with a TV, wardrobe, and coffee maker. Upon arrival, Joan provided us detailed info on what to do in the town & where to eat. This ensured... More

LOCATION Perfect: elegant stone Victorian building in quiet, leafy street but overlooking the river with lovely views to the cathedral and the castle, but only 5-10 minutes from central Inverness. Joan, one of the owners, told me the Beatles had stayed there in the early 60s and that one of their songs was written there! ROOMS I stayed in room... More

Well, Inverness, what a lovely little town (city?). The Strathness is situated right on the river with a delightful view across to the castle. The cathedral is just up the road and Inverness town centre is only a couple of minutes walk. On street parking is free from 5pm to 10am and there is plenty of it. We were given... More
