Good size accomodation, with decent size TV and table and chairs. Good coffee making facilities and having a fridge is a bonus.||One of the two rooms we stayed in also had a microwave but no plates or cutlery to go with it. …

We were greeted warmly by our host. The guesthouse is a good location if you want to get outside of Inverness before breaking for the night in the Highlands; there's a little market and a great chippy within walking distance. Our room was comfortable, amenities were good and quiet and we found it appropriate for the price. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Stayed here with my spouse for 3 nights. The gentleman who runs the place was absolutely lovely. The rooms were clean and comfortable to stay in, and the breakfast was a perfect way to start the morning for an excellent price. Next time I'm in this area I know it will be the place I seek out to stay. The hotel is also about a 5 minute walk away from the reserve leading to Rogie Falls so if you like to hike its an excellent choice as well. There is also a bus stop close by of you are taking public transport.

Stayed here on my way to Ben Wyvis - comfortable clean rooms with everything you need. The Guest House has no Bar - but there is a nice lounge where you can sit and relax in the evening. The owner was very welcoming and extremely helpful - and the Continental Breakfast was extensive with plenty of fresh fruit, alongside pasties and cold meats.

This guest house is a great place to stay whilst doing the NC500. You can see that a lot of investment has been made. And the room I stayed in had a TV, Fridge, Microwave and a modern fitted bathroom. Continental breakfast every morning. A few mins walk from the village shop and close to the Jet Petrol station. Various takeaways in nearby Dingwall will deliver, but from £7.50 delivery charge. There is free WiFi but due to the rural location, the bandwidth is low. So bear that in mind if you have young children that use devices that require the internet.

Visiting Contin for a wedding, we were concerned about how the check-in times would clash with the ceremony, however, Achilty Guest House made it clear that although they couldn't promise anything they would do everything they could to help …
