A lovely little hotel across the street from the water in a quiet part of town. Great value with a very nice on premises restaurant. Would stay here again in a second.
Comfortable room with great views over the Motay Firth, cleanliness needs to improve however - carpet needs shampooing, bed needs pulled out, washed down and cleaned/hoovered behind. Get rid of scatter cushions and cover at base of bed (these dont look to be laundered between guests). I never used the restaurant as VERY expensive. Staff friendly and helpful
Beautiful hotel and restaurant! Staff were very kind and helpful. Though it’s an older hotel, the place was very clean and the food was excellent! Ate dinner and breakfast here, both meals were very good. The views are also very stunning.
We loved everything about our one night stay! Quaint room, quiet location on the water. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the food in their restaurant was great!! Especially the made from scratch sticky toffee pudding that i would love to get the recipe for!! 😁 Definately recommend!
Very enjoyable 1night stay- we have been before and it’s still as good as the 1st time. Staff very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a meal in the restaurant at night. As our stay was on a Friday, it’s best to book a table beforehand as it gets really busy. Our room this time was a side sea view and very spacious with a walk-in shower- only thing I would say( as an older person) is the shower could do with a rubber mat as it can be a bit slippery
The restaurant was good, and very busy on a Friday night, but we thought it was quite expensive. Good breakfast. The location is lovely, and very convenient to get to the airport. We'd certainly go again.
The owners and staff are welcoming, helpful, and provide a hospitality that is second to none. The food they provide is delicious and if you are lucky enough to be there on Sunday, get the roast. The view from the front porch is amazing and we were fortunate enough to see the dolphins. Our favorite stop in all of Scotland.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: located by the water with a great view of Inverness, restaurant on premises
Cons: No reception, Basic room, uncomfortable bed, overpriced.
lovely little hotel in the old slipway at base of the bridge on the north side of the Ness just outside Inverness.pleasant staff and proper man sized meals at reasonable prices.If you are heading to John o'Groats and want a quiet,easy parking place to stay hassle free to find its just the job.Beware the Hassock Hamfull meal -enough for 2!
We had the Superior Twin room and the view outside is very pleasant. Large and clean room to accommodate everything for our stay. We stayed on our last night for the NC500. Staff are lovely and generous. Bar is great for decent selection of beers and wines. Pool table is also pretty good.
Great hotel to start the NC500 on my motorbike. Great spot on the shore. Great staff.
My only niggle which is a personal one is that every Scottish breakfast should have Lorne sausage and haggis. Sadly this wasn't on the menu. Still, a very good breakfast!
