A lovely house, just a 5 minute walk from the Center. A perfect spot to explore Inverness or the highlands, especially with the owners ex-Highland guide experience! Nothing is too much trouble for Atherstone b&b, and I was greatly refuelled by my stay, particularly by the delicious breakfast!

We stayed for two night's at Ruth&Ally's lovely Bed and Breakfast and felt to be in absolutely good hands. Ally had some great recommendations for dinner, drinks (oh, we might have had one too many...) and places to visit. And Ruth gave us some homemade chocolate fudge which was the best we've ever tasted! The breakfast was great, we had... More

We stayed here just for a night while on a 4day tour, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Ally & Ruth gave us a warm welcome into their home - it was very cosy and homely, did not feel like we were away from home. Our room was no.4, a bit small but the en-suite very much accommodated for it. We were... More

Our family of four came to this lovely B&B on a tour in late December 2012 and had no idea what to expect. We found ourselves welcomed into what felt more like a home than a hotel, and one where the hosts set out only to please. The rooms were modern, clean and light, welcome on a dour evening. Ally...

A warm welcome from Ruth & Ally, comfy beds & en suite in all rooms, a superb breakfast - all the ingredients are there for a super stay very close to the centre of Inverness. Add in all the good restaurants, pubs and other attractions in walking distance and you have a winning combination for a great stay!

My friend and I stayed here for one night on a Rabbie's Tour recently and couldn't have asked for better accommodations. Extremely comfortable and clean, and the hosts are so warm and welcoming. Accommodations and breakfast were both perfect. They were even able to furnish gluten-free toast for my celiac friend! Highly recommend.

If only all guest houses were this welcoming and well-appointed! Our room was spacious, spotless, and had many little extras to soothe and delight weary travellers. Homemade breakfasts, which gave us ample variety, were served in a charming dining room decorated with photos of some of the most beautiful and interesting Scottish scenery. Another nice touch - there was a... More

What a great place to stay! We were welcomed, cared for and enriched by our time at Atherstone. The rooms are impeccably clean with a complete array of what a traveller needs these days - right down to facial and makeup removal tissues for the ladies and face clothes for the North Americans! Breakfasts would rival any gourmet kitchen. They... More
