We came to Inverness with the intention of completing the NC 500 route (probably the most beautiful drive we’ve ever undertaken) and needed a base to start/finish. We chose to stay at Strome Lodge which is ideally situated a 5 min walk from the town centre and also more importantly for us on an easy route in and out of Inverness. Owners Sean and Marion greeted us with a very warm welcome and immediately made us feel at home and showed us to our room which was lovely. The bed was very comfortable, and the room always spotless and clean. The bathroom and the shower were fine and a previous review mentioned the water pressure being low which wasn’t a problem at all on our stay.
Breakfast was a delight, everything is home cooked and you are given a large selection, including fresh fruits, cereals, porridge,croissants, and a gorgeous full breakfast including soda bread,black pudding, bacon,eggs,toast and beans. Definately worth having and a great start to the day.
Sean and Marion are also very knowledgable about the area and can provide you with ideas about where to go, what to see, and also what to do in the evenings locally.
The House itself is obviously a home too which greatly adds to the overall charm and Nacho the Fox Terrier just completes that, she’s a lovely friendly dog who loves attention.
On the whole we can not recommend Strome Lodge enough, it’s clearly a labour of love and that reflects in the whole experience. Book and you won’t regret it!
