Our stay at Strathness House was very enjoyable. Joan and Javed were excellent hosts and very knowledgeable about the area. Our room offered a beautiful view of the River Ness, and we were within easy walking distance of much of Inverness.

The history of Strathness House should indicate to travelers that this was once a stately home built by a wealthy merchant, with that in mind ,it is not a purpose built hotel. But, there lies the attraction and beauty, rooms are comfortable and purposeful, so it doesn't have a pool a gym or all the wiz bang features of a... More

Strathness house is a great place to stay in downtown Inverness. You can look out your window and see the River Ness and look up to see the Inverness Castle. The St. Andrew's Cathedral is just across the street. The hotel is very clean, warm, and the breakfast is quite good. The two owners are very friendly and accommodating. The... More

The Strathness Guest House is good for what it is: a simple, basic lodging option. It is clean and generally comfortable with small rooms that fail to impress or inspire. It does serve the need of providing a good night’s rest, but this is all it does. In other words, the Strathness is immediately forgettable upon departure. If you are... More

These reviewers clearly were looking for “elegant and romantic accommodations “, which clearly they did not find with us. However if they had read up on what facilities we had to offer (or not), then they would have booked somewhere else more to their liking and needs! This only highlights “one man’s meat is another man’s poison”. We cannot make... More

This was our first trip to Scotland and didn't know what to expect in accommodations. We were thrilled with this small boutique hotel We had a wonderful room with view of the river. But the best part were the owners, Javed and Joan. They were so helpful and friendly, it was like being their personal guests. We highly recommend this... More

The accommodation was centrally situated overlooking the River Ness. The room was pleasant and clean and the stay was very comfortable. The owner was particularly helpful and chatty. The breakfasts were good and plentiful with a good variety on offer. Difficult to park the car because of restricted street parking but possible to utilise the church car park a short... More

We paid about the same price for a room in this lovely place as you would at the chain hotel just down the road. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with good linens, and the bathrooms are modern and well equipped. Situated next to the cathedral, with lovely views across the river to the castle, it is within easy walking... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights, and had a thoroughly pleasant time. The guest house has only twelve or so rooms, and ours had a great view down the River Ness and over to the Castle. The owners and staff couldn't have been friendlier, and were most helpful with advice about where to visit (in the rain!). Excellent,... More

I and a friend stayed here when we visited Inverness in November last year for 3 nights. The two owners (I forget your names; it has been a long time! My humblest apologies!) were not only lovely people but also very knowledgeable and helped us plan a number of days activities. The room was lovely, clean and well presented; the... More
