The MacDougall Clansman is a 5 minute walk from the bus or train station. A great feature if you don't have a car. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Breakfast is what you would expect. Everything from cereals and toast to a full fry-up. Coffee. Tea. Juice. For us it was the owner that made the deal. He greeted us upon arrival and did so with a smile that never waned. He was sincere in wanting us to have a great stay and did not disappoint. Going so far as setting up a breakfast option for us early in the morning before regular hours to accommodate our traveling schedule. Highly Recommended.

Perfect for me

It was perfect for me. I wanted a quiet relaxing stay, near city amenities. Also it was central but minutes from the river for a relaxing walk. Maybe if you want more WiFi and business facilities you would be better off booking a chain hotel. However, the owner did say they could help with urgent matters.

The area was great! It's walkable to a lot of locations, but the real star of our trip was the owner of the hotel - who truly was outstanding!! Made us feel welcome so welcomed! Breakfast (which was fantastic) was just an added bonus. I would stay here again!

Loved it!

Lovely hotel right in the heart of Inverness. The room has everything you need and was very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and the ingredients were high quality - which seems to be a rarity these days! Stayed for two nights and would definitely return.

Lovely property and superb host/owner. The only negative comment (,which is true for all Inverness), is the 24/7 screeching seagulls...they never sleep. The inclusive breakfast was fab and so close to the station and dining areas.

This was our favorite hotel on our trip to Scotland. The location is great and we had a totally comfy stay. This is a family run hotel and you can tell. Iain was a great host and he made sure we felt welcomed. He even set us up with a "do it yourself" breakfast on a day we had to leave early for a tour. The room was quiet and comfortable. It's definitely not ultra-modern... and that's one of the things I loved about it. And you can walk anywhere in town from the hotel in just a few minutes.
