They let us check-in early, offering us complimentary snacks and breakfast during our stay. The room was beautiful and cozy and every clean—would 100% recommend staying above this pub.

Room had a slanted floor so had to sleep at the opposite end of the bed. Pretty loud street noise. Restaurant below is nice and good proximity to bars and restaurants.

Traveling with kids can be complicated, but this stay was absolutely excellent. The rooms were both spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and check in/out was a breeze. There’s no lift, so be prepared to carry luggage up the stairs.

Locked out of Hotel and has to check into another

After going out for dinner and drinks, we came back to find that our front door key didn’t work and which resulted in us being locked out of the hotel. We were unable to reach anyone there, and had to check into another hotel. We returned the next morning to share our story - the staff tried our keys and confirmed they didn’t work and couldn’t explain why.

It was great to have the restaurant right below us. We were able to walk everywhere without getting a car. Lots of freebie treats in the room were a nice touch. We would definitely stay there again!

Really beautiful renovated property. Rooms well appointed with so many wonderful touches like complimentary savoury and sweet snacks. We were staying her under sad circumstances… the staff were so attentive and caring.

We loved the location of this property. Just across the street from the train station and bus depot for tours around the area.

We had a nice cozy room above the Pub. The owner was very kind. The location was convenient to both the bus station and the train station. Our booking on Expedia was supposed to have included continental breakfast. The continental breakfast options were almost non-existent (think dry cereal and toast). The accommodations combined with the limited breakfast made it not worth the price we paid.

Beautiful room and well appointed. Lovely pub with quintessential pub food. Great for post day pints. Staff was wonderful. If you’re in Inverness it’s worth every penny or farthing rather.
