Beautiful room on the garden. Close to Inverness center but out of the heart of the city. Quiet, more serene setting with free parking. Loved Miss Molly, the house dog with her ball.

Location is away from old town so you need to cab it if you dont want to drive. Also the room was not in the castle. Based on the pictures posted it seemed thar you'd be in the main castle but the room was actually in a very dated side building with dirty carpets and old smell.

The property is set in a residential area, so not right off a major transport road, but quiet & safe, which was great. The main building is beautiful with lovely common areas & a gorgeous dining conservatory serving a really nice breakfast. The welcome upon check-in was warm & accommodating, with the manager taking us to our room in order to deliver offered milk for hubby’s morning coffee. Our room was spacious with a lovely little table & chairs on a small porch out a door, overlooking a serene garden area. The bed was an actual American size king, which was great for us after a week of sleeping in beds smaller than what we’re used to! An added surprise, which brought a smile, was the sweet dog in the lobby. I’d not hesitate to recommend Lochardil House Hotel & would stay again if ever in the area in future.

High marks to experience life in former manor hous

Lovely historic home, now hotel, in a beautiful quiet neighborhood close to downtown. Breakfast was adequate and we enjoyed a cocktail in the bar the night before. The dinner menu looked delicious but we had already eaten. The room was dated but the bed and coverings were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and large. All staff interactions were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Hotel

The front desk staff were: warm, welcoming and helpful. The dining room and lounge area were gorgeous. We stayed in a junior suite which to my disappointment wasn’t in the main house and was in a newer building next to the main house. I was only slightly disappointed to not be in the main house/manor because our room was large and comfortable. I loved the bathroom and layout of the room. The location is also convenient to nearby sights and attractions. It was about 10 minutes away from downtown Inverness and it was easy to park in the hotel’s parking lot.

Time for a refurbishment?

Due to time of year (August), had to pay a premium to stay in Inverness for work. Have stayed in the hotel under previous ownership many times but dissapointed to see rooms have not changed at all. I stayed in one of the "Suites" in the outside wing. Same decor, same furniture, same carpets, same dated TV as when I stayed over 10 years ago. I realise you pay a premium for the time of year, but paying almost £250 a nights stay I would expect investment could be made in bringing the rooms up to a more modern standard.
