Having booked via "booking.com" We arrived as many do who venture to this Highland city, tired from the journey and looking forward to relaxing in our room and getting some well earned sleep. This was not to be. From about 8 pm an event in the functions room below burst into life. Thump thump thump almost non stop for hours.... More

We are very disappointed and much regret that you appear to have had such an unpleasant stay with us. We do make considerable effort to advise potential guests about dates that there will be loud music until midnight. We perhaps assume that when an event is taking place and the arriving guests are advised that they are accepting the 12... More

We had our wedding reception at the waterside and it was lovely, the food for the meal was amazing-all of our guests were very impressed. The staff were so helpful especially charlene who was running about after us all day-she did a brilliant job of keeping everything running smoothly. We didnt have to lift a finger as everything was done... More

Had a quick stay here over the weekend. Arrived and was efficiently checked in. Rooms were nice, spacious, bathroom modern, Tea & coffee and biscuits in the room. Great little stay. Next morning, was in a rush for breakfast, so they made us up sandwiches to take away. I would stay again.

Really glad you enjoyed your High Tea experience. We are one of the few places in town who offer this traditional early evening meal. I wonder iof you would be good enough to repeat his one in our TripAdvisor Restaurants section which needs satisfied clients like you to recommend the restaurant. More

Spent three night at this great hotel on the banks of the river Ness, overlooking the Cathedral and Eden Court theatre. From the moment we arrived, Helen at reception made us feel very welcome, almost like friends really. She upgraded us to the townhouse next door where we had two rooms overlooking the river. These rooms were full of character... More
