We recently stayed and had a great stay, room was lovely, clean with great facilities and only a 10 minute walk to the centre or Inverness.
We were 4 friends and booked the family room we all felt the beds were very comfy and the breakfast was lovely. The staff that were serving breakfast were lovely, helpful and very friendly.
