On arrival, my partner and I received a warm welcome from the host, who showed us to our room .

Said room was spacious, with two small single beds, which were well dressed and rather comfortable. Owing to the space constraints, the toilet/shower room was small, but reasonably so. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispensers were provided, which I thought was a nice touch.

There was central heating, which was welcome. 

The architecture of the house was beautiful to my eye, and reminded me of Tudor architecture, if I'm not mistaken. Inspirational as regards the design of any house I'll build in the future. 

The breakfast provided was nice, well-cooked, and brought swiftly upon request.

Overall, I would very much recommend this establishment to anyone wishing to visit Inverness.

Lovely service in a beautiful building

Inverness is a much bigger place than I had imagined and this place is only a short walk from the main thoroughfare which is a great advantage. It is also relatively good value for money as accommodation in the town can be expensive. However, as others have said, it is quirky which can be good but can also be a little too much - the chiming clock on the hour every hour was not conducive to a restful sleep! I wouldn’t book on the strength of the breakfasts which are also served only in a small window from 8-9am. Archie was lovely but not everyone likes dogs so just be aware. In summary, all in all, it did the job.

Very pleasant host, who went out of her way for her guests.  I heard her say more than once that she loved running her guest house which isn't always the case so hats off to her!  The house is quite quirky.  Lots of different levels and old features, some of which were charming, some others did feel a bit old though and in need of updating.  We had a room which involved some complex steps!  It came off the main stairs, but before the top!  It had a couple of side steps up to the door and then a few more steps down from the door on the other side.  A bit treacherous for anyone elderly or with a drink in them but we managed fine!  There was a cute shower room also off the stairs in the middle which you stepped down into from a small looking door.  Very Alice in Wonderland!  

Breakfast was very nice - cooked options slightly limited compared with other places we stayed but generous portions, well cooked and lots of continental options.   

Only a couple of things I would bear in mind:  
1. The house is on a one way street and we didn't see the sign for it until we had just passed it so had to go round the block again.  
2. Its not really suitable for anyone with mobility issues - a steep but short driveway up to the front door - and quite a lot of stairs up to the front door and again to the bedrooms.  Not sure if there was a ground floor room but didn't appear to be.
3.  On arrival, before our warm welcome from the host, we were met by a barking dog in the hallway which seemed to be the standard greeting from our observations.  He was around for all of our stay, including in the breakfast room.  My partner is allergic to dogs and we were also a little concerned about the hygiene of this in a room serving food but others seemed to love him so not a complaint, just a heads up for other guests in case that's not your thing!  

Overall a pleasant stay - comfy bed, everything clean, excellent hosts and nice breakfast.  Would recommend but bear in mind the above.

Nice stay - but with oddities!  :)

Great location fantastic helpful friendly  host Moira. Room a little cosy with 2 adults and large suitcases. Has hanging space. Room well serviced and clean. Great staff. Good breakfast supplied. Stayed 4 nights.  Beautiful town, lots to see. We had a great stay, thankyou. 

Drive holiday throughout Scotland 

We stayed, 3 adult size people,  in a relatively small room with an ensuite which for two nights sufficed 
We were made to feel very welcome by the properties owner and her lovely golden retriever Archie.
Breakfast was splendid and the property is a short walk from the castle stunning riverside walks and the town centre 
I can see why this is such a successful guest house as it ticks all the boxes

Great location fab host

Stayed here recently and was well looked after by the lovely Moira, and her gorgeous Dog Archie, who was  a dream. We had a lovely comfy & clean room, with a super en-suite Bathroom. Moira was very friendly and chatty lady, who served up a great Breakfast each morning. we were given a private Parking permit, to park right outside too. This place is a short walk to the city centre, though you do have to tackle castle Hill, which although is steep, it is quite short...so bearable..Can definitely Recommend, and would stay here again!
