Paul is a great host
Excellent apartment.
Great location - on the beach (Walkable distance to Fort George).
Grocery store at 2 minute walk.
Loads of maps and information provided for holiday makers to plan their stay better.
The host, Paul personally came around and checked on us. Based on our requirements, he gave us some valuable suggestions that helped us get the best put of our stay in Ardersier
This apartment was stunning - beautiful views out to the Black Isle and beyond.
Lovely and quiet too
Hosts were superb, excellent communication and the milk/tunnocks teacakes were very much appreciated after a long drive
The owner, Paul and his wife were fantastic! Our train was delayed and stuck between stations due to lightening taking out the signals. Paul went to the store and left us milk in the fridge so we could have tea when we arrived. We also met us there later to show us how everything worked, took us behind the suires to show us where we could buy stuff as well as where to eat.

Dolphin Suites August 2022
Simply amazing place to stay with breath taking views across to the Black Isle. Quiet village location that has every amenity you would need, if not there is a Tesco superstore about 8 miles away in Inverness. Great base to chill and relax after a day off tourist activities. The owner Paul cannot do enough to help and is rightly proud of his property and what him and wife have achieved. Will definitely be back.
the suite has everything you need for a self catering holiday. Two bedroom with one double bed and two single beds. washing machine and tumble dryer combo enables reduced packing. kitchen open plan with oven, hob and micro wave. dishwasher reduces the workload. fridge freezer sufficient for three days. tv has access to freeview channels and Wi-Fi works though can be spotty due to the stone work. easy access to the beach. local area is culloden battlefield, local castles. whisky distilleries and loch ness
