I stayed in Macrae in January and again March 2013. Both times I was greeted by the lovely and helpful Joyce. It is a perfect location to explore Inverness and its surrounds, only a few minutes walk to the town centre but on a quite road looking over the River Ness. This guesthouse gives you everything you need for a... More

We stayed with Joyce late Sep 12 (sorry for the late review) over the Marathon weekend and booked our room at the Macrae Guest House for its location (close to the centre of town and right beside the riverside). Our family room was at the front of the house and looked out over the river, but wasn't noisy even though... More

Book ealy for a view over the river! This was the tip on tripadvisor for this b&b! I emailed on 13th September asking about availability for March, no reply received so I asked again on 18th only to be told 'sorry I don't take booking for 2013 until the second week in January ' I know March is 6 months...

Thanks Joyce for a great stay, Very good location, walking distance to many attractions. Good security for the car. Joyce was easy to talk to and gave us her knowledge of the local area, plus thanks to Ian her son for directions in the Isle of Skye. The room was a delight, with a great view. Thanks again from two... More

My wife and I have stayed in many B&Bs in the UK during our three month holiday and our one week stay in Inverness was among the most pleasant. The location was within easy reach of the city centre and the river, with many pleasant walking areas, parking was good and very secure. We had a large room with a... More

Location, location, location! Easy walk from city center, quiet pretty spot by the river. Also nice walk to swimming pool & river islands. Friendly, helpful proprietor had the most warm & nurturing style out of all the places we stayed on this trip. Room was a bit cramped w/ not enough hooks or places to put things, but otherwise nice.

We stayed two nights at Macrae and Joyce was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was huge compared to some we stayed in although the shower was pretty small - no room to turn around. Other than that couldnt fault the place - just lovely. The bed was beautiful - almost afraid to spoil it by getting in. Very lovely... More

Arrived in Inverness to a very warm welcome from Joyce the proprietor who was full of local knowledge and helpful hints. We had an amazing week stay in a beautiful house. We stayed in a lovely room which overlooked River Ness and facing us on the opposite side of the River was Eden Court Theatre. Car parking was very safe... More

Beautifully located on the River Ness, perfect for a stroll into the town centre on an evening. Parking on site. Rooms/bathrooms very clean and everything you need in a bedroom. Landlady very jolly and very accommodating, told us where to go and where to eat etc, even gave us a voucher for free drinks. Highly recommended.

We arrived to great Scottish Welcome. Landlady very chatty/friendly and very knowledgable of the history of Inverness. Our room was overlooking the River Ness, couldn't have asked for a nicer view, everything you need in a room for a weekend. Town centre was close enough to walk, 5 minutes. Breakfast was a continental, enough to fill you up for the... More
