“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

people found this review helpful

There was absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. The location was great, the staff extremely helpful and responsive. Easy to walk everywhere in town once you have arrived. The room and bathroom were spacious. Definitely somewhere I would return to and recommend others to stay. I think this was also the only place we stayed with blockout curtains as well so commendations to the owners on that!!

“More like a hotel than a guest house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This property is in an excellent location on the riverbank in the centre of Inverness, a 2 minute walk to the nearest pub & restaurant and only a short stroll from the busier pubs and shops on the high st.

The reasons I say that this guest house is more like a hotel are as follows, size of property, keycards for doors, bedrooms and decor.

All in all the Westbourne has loads to offer and the highlander breakfast is good quality food and a massive plateful, also a wide range of cereals and yoghurts and lashings of tea and coffee, the breakfast really sets you up for the day ahead whether its a day at the football or shopping or touring I would highly recommend the Westbourne, you will not be dissapointed.

We used this hotel as a base for a few days for touring skye and the western highlands and the proprietor Richard was handy with local knowledge of pubs restaurants and places to visit.

Room Tip: Try and get a river view as some of the other rooms dont have that great a view

“PLEASANT B&B IN GREAT LOCATION”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Great location next to the river yet a short walk from the centre. Hosts were very friendly and helpful with local knowledge, the room was ok, at the back so not a great view and the bed was rather hard, in general the place could do with a makeover as the decor is rather musty and dated but the personal touches completely override this - the home made snacks and port in the lounge, the folder of local restaurant menus, fresh milk and a cuddly bear in the room all made you feel like an extra effort was being made. Liked the way each room had their own allocated breakfast table and the choice and quality of breakfast was very good including gluten free cereal. Good value for money especially if you like to feel you are more than just another guest.

Room Tip: Request a room overlooking the river if possible

“We enjoyed our stay”

Very friendly people. Clean, quiet room, decor not brand new but everything you could need for a short stay provided. A lounge to sit in with wifi available. Lovely full breakfast cooked to order and I enjoyed the porridge. Nice extra was the offer to help yourself to sherry/port in the evening with a nice selection of home made treats!
