I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for anyone considering it! I stayed for 2 nights on 27th & 28th January 2012 and was greeted by a warm welcome from the owners. The twin room was well thought out, spotless, well-presented and tastefully decorated. The beds were comortable, there was plenty of space for suitcases and for putting clothes... More

This is such a beautiful B&B, inside and out. It is close to downtown Inverness. While I stayed at there I had a flight one morning early in the morning, to early for breakfast. The owners said they would have something ready for to grab when I leave in the morning, which they did, it was great!! They went beyond... More

Really convenient location on the River, makes for some very nice views too. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, always keen to give advice on what to do and where to go. Basic, clean rooms at a fairly reasonable price. I would definitely recommend. More

The Strathness is right on the river, beside the cathedral. It is a smallish guest house in the process of being renovated. The couple who own it are lovely and friendly. The rooms are quite small but well-appointed with good bathrooms. The breakfast was really good, freshly cooked. Handy for the town centre, and very close to Eden Court Theatre. More

Position in relation to the city was excellent, owner's were friendly and approachable (and gave a good tip for birdwatching - we found an excellent place on the southern shore of Cromarty Firth- turnstones, widgeons, knots, and more). The room had a beautiful view over the river, bathroom was excellent, and the rest of the bedroom ok. Parking was relatively... More

Really enjoyed our stay at Strathness, - comfortable and warm room with fabulous views, bed very comfortable, - unfortunately let down by closet sized bathroom - which really detracted from overall experience, - extremely convenient location - walking distance to all of Inverness - (walk along the river - beautiful) - breakfast had a number of very good hot/cold choices...

The place has a nice location as a beautiful view of the loch and castle, the welcome was good but nothing to write home about. Our main feeling was that it is way overpriced for a place that lacks personality and has a poor atmosphere. The walls are quite thin too so you can hear your neighbours while lying in... More

It is not often that we can recall some guests from such a long time ago, but these stand out. It is very infrequent (thankfully), that we have guests with no personality and very little going for them, but these are two. We are unable to please everybody and impossible if the guests do not want to engage in conversation.... More

We've just returned from a night at Strathness House. We booked last minute based on the reviews on trip advisor and were not disappointed. We arrived early and was welcomed with a smile, the room had been serviced so we were grateful for the early check in. Joan and Javed are wonderful friendly hosts who are attentive without being intrusive.... More
