We had a great time here. Peter, the proprietor, was kind and very helpful. As we are all a little older than we once were, he made sure our luggage was taken to and from our room.  …

The Smithton was the meet up point for a fantastic tour of Sacred Scotland (cf Gothic Images Tours). While it required a taxi to arrive from Inverness town, the Smithton served our group’s purposes perfectly. …

Stayed for 1 night while touring NC500 and found the place close to shops and restaurants. Didn’t eat dinner but had a good breakfast. Staff are amazing and very welcoming. Room was small but super comfy. Has EV charging as well which is great.

Having read other reviews here we were hoping for a good nights stay. This wasn’t to be the case. The dated appearance of the building outside, is not helped by the thousands of cigarette ends lying outside. …

The Smithton was a nice little hotel to spend our nights in. The beds were a little bit lumpy with springs, but not bad. Overall it was a nice stay. Friendly bar with some good breakfast in the morning and good drinks in the evening.

2 Night stay for business. The room was really clean, bed was comfy enough and the staff were friendly, it looks rough from the outside and some of the punters in the last chance saloon are a bit dodgy looking but its ok. …
