“This family-owned B&B impressed me with its warm atmosphere and thoughtful décor; the location provides both quiet and quick access to Inverness, a short walk or bus ride away. I was particularly struck by the flexibility around breakfast, even for those catching early trains; little touches like that elevate a stay. It's a place I'd happily recommend.”
