High marks to experience life in former manor hous
Lovely historic home, now hotel, in a beautiful quiet neighborhood close to downtown. Breakfast was adequate and we enjoyed a cocktail in the bar the night before. The dinner menu looked delicious but we had already eaten. The room was dated but the bed and coverings were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and large. All staff interactions were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Hotel
The front desk staff were: warm, welcoming and helpful. The dining room and lounge area were gorgeous. We stayed in a junior suite which to my disappointment wasn’t in the main house and was in a newer building next to the main house. I was only slightly disappointed to not be in the main house/manor because our room was large and comfortable. I loved the bathroom and layout of the room. The location is also convenient to nearby sights and attractions. It was about 10 minutes away from downtown Inverness and it was easy to park in the hotel’s parking lot.

Time for a refurbishment?
Due to time of year (August), had to pay a premium to stay in Inverness for work. Have stayed in the hotel under previous ownership many times but dissapointed to see rooms have not changed at all. I stayed in one of the "Suites" in the outside wing. Same decor, same furniture, same carpets, same dated TV as when I stayed over 10 years ago. I realise you pay a premium for the time of year, but paying almost £250 a nights stay I would expect investment could be made in bringing the rooms up to a more modern standard.

The property was lovely and we enjoyed the restuaraunt and the staff was very friendly. The building is older and the room was compact, but that was part of the charm for us.

This was by far in all my travels to the UK (this was my 4th) the nicest, most comfortable, best all around hotel I stayed at. Staff was so incredibly friendly! Food was delicious (we had three breakfasts and one dinner there). In three nights I got hooked on the heated towel rack and now I’m looking to get one for home!
Excellent staff, breakfast very nice Very clean really enjoyed our stay
