“Excellent location, welcoming and child friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We spent almost a week between Christmas and New Year at the Dolphin Bay Suites. Well, you dont go to Scotland in the winter to enjoy the sunshine, but thats about the only thing we missed staying at the Dolphin Bay Suites. The owner was extermely welcoming and friendly. The appartment was very clean, complete and new. The location allows to visit the north of Scotland very well (we even made it to the Isle of Skye, up and down in one day in December, that is). The local pub, the guns lodge, offers traditional Scottish dishes, dont miss the hagis there. They also change the channel to football, t thats what you prefer (as our boys did appreciate). All in all, Scottish Highlands are a brilliant place to visit, child friendly and welcoming people everywhere (and it helps when you like whiskey). We loved it, we'll be back.

Room Tip: Take the one on the ground floor if you have kids, thats where the bikes are and they can go out to...

“Magnificent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

Another review from a week's stay in August, 2011. From the hospitality of Paul and Sallie to the flat itself, my sons and I enjoyed everything about Dolphin Bay. Ardersier is charming and well located for exploring the Highlands. This is simply an excellent place for a holiday.

“Dolphin Bay Suites Ardersier”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

Spent a week here back in August 2011.

Very clean spacious apartments. The location is a great base for exploring the highlands, located just 15mins or so from Inverness. As has been mentioned in other reviews, there is little need to shop for the apartment as it was already equipped with washing tablets etc.

But perhaps the best thing is the view overlooking the Moray Firth, just stunning.

I would go back in a heartbeat, already looking forward to returning in 2012.

Room Tip: Room 9 (from memory) is a top floor apartment and boasts stunning views from the living room window...

“Excellent accommodation and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

This is a lovely place to stay, the apartments are kept so clean - I want to know what their secret is! (hard work I'm guessing!). We stayed 5 years ago and the apartments look as new and as clean as they did back then. The owners are so helpful and thoughtful - the extras provided in the kitchen are very useful (washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, etc).
The location is perfect, right on the beach with views of the hills, Chanonry Point, and Inverness. Really family friendly too. We would definitely stay again.

“BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

Once again we had a great holiday at Dolphin Bay Apartments Ardersier, where Paul met us and helped get our luggage into our apartment (No9) which was again spotlessly clean, a credit to Sally and her team of cleaners, this time we took the grandchildren to see the dolphins and seals we were not disappointed, and with Pauls knowledge of the area we had some fantastic days out with the grandchildren at Landmark Adventure Park, Black Isle Wild Life Park, Shin Falls, Fort George and Nairn beach, we recommend anyone who wishes to explore Invernesshire and surrounding areas try Dolphin Bay Apartments Ardersier as a base, where they will find each apartment has everything they need plus fantastic views of the Moray Firth, you will also receive a very warm wecome from Paul and Sally, we hope to return again in 2012.
