So glad we chose Avalon for our stay in Inverness. The room was immaculate, very comfortable and clean with enough wardrobe and storage space. The breakfast was nothing short of amazing! So much choice and everything we tried was lovely. The property is a short walk from the town centre and perfect for a walk. Paul and Val were lovely and their business is a credit to them and all the hard work they put in. We will be back! COYI ⚒

Our experience at the Avalon was nothing but exceptional. The room was immaculate and so cute. We loved the little touches from the chocolates to the teddy bear used to say if cleaning was needed. Breakfast was delicious! My daughter and i both had the French toast with fresh fruit and loved it. The owners are just delightful! 10/10 would stay there again!

Brilliant little find. Great hosts and absolutely stunning house. I even had to look at the reed diffuser at the front door so I could go buy 1 myself. I unfortunately had to skip breakfast but I will be back to sample it
