“Spoiled rotten...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011

person found this review helpful

A group of 3 of us stayed here for the night whilst walking the Great Glen Way and it has to be one of the nicest and best value B&B's around. The room was very comfortable, particularly the lovely beds, and was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was also spotless and had underfloor heating, for which our sore feet were very grateful! Over the road is the Fiddler's bar and restaurant, which has loads of character and a lot of whiskey! The food was lovely, perfectly cooked, and generous portions for a very reasonable price. The staff were also great, very friendly and attentive. Two of our group actually work in the hospitality industry so we know a good thing when we see it. Staying here was a highlight of our trip and we will definatly be coming back again.

Stayed June 2011, travelled with friends

“Great if in Inverness”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2010

Stayed here last year with the girlfriend when we were walking in the Highlands, Really nice and there was a lovely little restaurant just down the road but, the name escapes me (sorry) but, I do remember the Hotel and I was'nt disapointed. The rooms were clean and well organised and the staff were very friendly. I would reccomend this place for couples wanting a nice hotel in a good location.

“Fab place - hotel, bar, people = faultless”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009

A wonderful find. The rooms we stayed in were across the road from the bar and restaurant. We were in a room with a shared bathroom but this didn’t matter at all. Everything was spotless – beds and bathroom.

The bar and restaurant were wonderful. A huuuuge selection of whiskeys, the food was a real surprise, much better than perhaps we were expecting. You’re recommended to book if you fancy eating in the restaurant during summer periods as the queues go out the door. And rightly so. It seems Fiddler’s has a good reputation amongst the small group of hotels and food places nearby.

The staff and knowledgeable and helpful and charming. Would love to back someday.

“Wonderfull Location - Friendly Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2009

Stayed in the B+B opposite for one night - which is also owned by the Fiddlers. Room was superb and also had lunch and dinner at the Inn, which were both excellent. Only one complaint though - no cooked breakfast for B+B guests, just a very sparse continental offering. Clearly they have the facilities as they have a resteraunt, so can only assume it is to save money - but at £75 a night you expect a cooked breakfast. Come on guys stop being tight! One night would be limit for this reason alone!

“outstanding staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2009

We had a lovely stay in the Fiddlers on our Great Glen Walk - the room was comfortable and the evening meal in the restaurant was delicious, the staff unfailingly polite and helpful despite being extremely busy.
But oh dear - the breakfast left a lot to be desired. I can't eat bread and there was no other alternative - not an outcake in sight- in the heart of Scotland! And my goodness Dairylea cheese slices - surely 35 quid a night buys you some real Scottish cheese!
You can do better Fiddlers!
