Lovely spacious quadruple room with beautiful views towards the river. Beds comfortable. Tea/coffee facilities in the room. The guesthouse was fully booked when we stayed, but it was very quiet at night. The Staff were lovely. We didn't bring the car, the walk is approx. 25 minute walk into central Inverness, however, there is a number 16 bus right outside the property, which takes a few minutes into town. You get the number 16 bus back to Glasdair from just around the corner to the Inverness Museum and Gallery (Castle stairs) If you are driving, its only a 3 minute drive from the centre. A lovely walk along the river back to Glasdair. We would definitely stay again

The owners were so lovely and keen to make our stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Carried in our luggage, gave us their own decaff coffee and offered their local knowledge. The rooms were spotless and large. The garden backed on to the River Ness and it was so beautiful and tranquil. The room with bed and breakfast was great value, especially for Inverness. The breakfast was lovely and they made us fresh toast and eggs cooked however we wished, with a full continental selection and some hot food choices as well. We had the window table on a beautiful sunny morning and we were made to feel thoroughly spoilt.
A suggestion - The drive down the side of the house to the parking at the back of the was very tight. Luckily I was able to park my car at the front when we returned in the evening. Maybe placing some parking markers (plaques on the fence marking parking bays) at the front would make sure fellow guests parked more sensibly allowing more cars to park at the front.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming B&B in Inverness. The lovely couple who run it were warm and welcoming. Our room had a beautiful view of the River Ness, and the breakfast was excellent—continental style with a choice of eggs. The B&B is about a 20-minute walk from the city center, and the walk itself is quite lovely. A small but important note: check-in is personal, not automated like in some other B&Bs, so be sure to check your messages and confirm your arrival time with the hosts. They’ll provide you with an old-fashioned key, which adds to the place’s charm and character. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful B&B with exquisite decor, in a great location. You can take a delightful walk along the river and be in town in about 20-30 mins where there are plenty of eateries. The couple who run the B&B are lovely and very helpful. They were very accommodating when we had to change our plans last minute. The breakfast was substantial - as well as continental breakfast, the host offered to cook eggs which was bonus, as from other reviews I didn’t think there was any cooked at all. Room was lovely and warm, bed very comfy. Would definitely stay again if I get the chance.

We loved the view over the Ness river from our room, the wonderful breakfast and charming hosts. Very cozy and clean place. Great location to start walks and explore Inverness and surrounds. The botanic garden across the river is an absolute jewel, a must visit for anyone who enjoys flowers and gardening, within walking distance. Very peaceful and quiet, almost rural setting.
The room was quite compact, and the gabled ceiling a bit risky for heads. But it all added to the charm!

Break was great, fresh eggs, a large buffet from hot food to cold cuts. It was a cozy space with a river on the backyard. Refreshing waking up in the morning with such a view. The staff were generally sweet. Would recommend.
Reception was good, initially the lady who runs the property was a bit rude - probably cause we arrived late at night. But they were a nice couple running th BnB, she was nicer in the morning (not at 6am though). The man was really humble and nice though, the couple kind of balanced each other which was cute.

Nice B&B English style. The room was spacious and the bathroom too. The breakfast was excellent and Angela prepared scrambled eggs for us and lovely coffee. You can walk from the accommodation to the city centre on a nice path along the river. It takes around 15-20 minutes. There is a beautiful island you can walk in. Beautiful scenery. In the evening we had dinner at “Encore une fois”. Nice restaurant. The second evening we had dinner in a nice pub/restaurant. The food was excellent and we could play pool. We enjoyed very much! The place is called the Rose Street Foundry.

The accommodation was really lovely. The married couple who own it was incredibly welcoming and super nice. We had a delicious breakfast every day and even once the owner made us a snack when we missed breakfast. The room was cleaned every day and towels changed regularly. Really very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.

Location was perfect, property was so cosy, lovely and warm, Max the owner welcomed us to our room. Our view was lovely overlooking the river. Continental breakfast was a good choice something for everyone. Beds are so cosy , ours had crimson velvet covers and they were just lush. Thank you to you both :))
We loved everything!!

The proprietors couldn't have been more helpful, accommodating and delightful. Truly made us feel at home and so very welcome .... with a wonderful sense of humour and care. A great combination. The particular room we stayed in was a bit smaller than we were expecting, but well presented and comfortable. Also, it's a short walk (around a mile) to the centre of town along the quiet road .... or slipping into the pathway to walk alongside the river. All in all, a wonderful place to stay.
If there was any aspect that we took pause with was the parking. While it's plentiful at the rear of the house, it could be a bit tight getting in and out with a narrow drive down, and also plenty of parking in the front of the house (4 large vehicles), but that also takes some maneuvering to get back onto the road. It all depends on your level of comfort and technique in maneuvering (and size of vehicle). :)
