“Wonderful”

Spent 2 nights in Feb and it was the best B&B I have stayed at. The rooms were lovely with everything you could think of. Loved the fact you had fresh milk for a cup of tea in your room! The view was beautiful and the house is in lovely surroundings. Breakfast was excellent and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Hope to go back again!

My wife and I stayed here during out honeymoon adventure in Scotland in August 2004. From reading some of the reviews, it appears the place is still run as well as we remembered.

The hosts were gracious and engaging (John and Glenn). The breakfast was outstanding (the best we had in two weeks in Scotland). Fresh eggs, handmade preserves, outstanding pancakes. Yes, I remember, it was that good.

The room was immaculate and orderly. The bathroom looked like it had never been used. The room was comfortable and inviting, you really felt you could relax.

We enjoyed the walk along the Loch. We ate at the local inn. There isn't much going on except the wonderful scenery (and perhaps the Loch Ness Monster Independent Research vehicle nearby).

We would unhesitatingly recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet get-away. Frankly, it was the best B&B we stayed at, and better than one of the "high-end" castle hotels we visited.

We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay in August 2004, especially as that was our first season and we were really finding out feet.

We've made numerous imrpovements since then, free internet, flat screen TVs with DVD, home made rolls each morning, greatly improved guest information pack, top quality bedding, all new fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms, to name just a few.

We've also been upgraded to 4 star by Visit Scotland, received a Gold award from the Green Tourism scheme and been a runner up in the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards.

Hopefully you can come back soon and see what's changed.

We nearly stayed in one of the hotels at the Drumnadrochit exhibition centre but am so glad we found the Pottery House instead. Unfortunately we only stayed for one night but it was a lovely stay. On arrival we were very impressed with how new everything looked, (the owners bought it four years ago but I'm sure the rooms must have been redecorated at least once since then). A good selection of Fair Trade teas and coffees are available in the room with a little fridge hidden in the wardrobe, (with a jug of fresh milk - so easy to provide but how many b&b's do that?!). There is a great folder provided with suggestions of things to see and do in the near and not so near vicinity. We went on two of the walks suggested, (the 5k and the 7k one), and they were both great with some stunning Loch views. There is a daily changing menu at breakfast with locally sourced products and home made rolls and jam - lovely. One thing I would recommend - walk down to the local pub the Dores Inn just before sunset and watch the sun set over the loch from the tables in the beer garden. It was cold but well worth it!!

I stayed at the Pottery House with my 10 year old son, the owners were very friendly, the rooms were emaculate and the breakfast choice was superb, I have already booked to go back in August with the rest of the family and have booked all the rooms.

The location was excellent as it was only 15 mins into Inverness, and we had a great time.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Pottery House for 1 nights in March.
I found it on website and didn't have to think twice about booking it once I had read through the reviews.

I'm pleased to say that Pottery House lives up to its nice reputation.
Everything was on spot started with booking.
We checked in with no hassle and no kick up. We were able to completely relax from the minute we arrived. We found warm and nice hospitality with full attention.
The quality of the room was first class. Everything from the nice big bed to the power shower in the large en suite was just great.
The owners, John and Glen were extremely accommodating and helpful.

I am glad to recommend to everyone!

We look forward to staying again in Pottery House..even more days next time.

Kind Regards,

Zoltan & Judit
