Truly the best experience!!!We stayed in a lovely room that was stocked with scrumptious snacks, had a cloud like bed, and the most amazing rain shower (I didn't want to get out).We had a Sunday Roast dinner downstairs in the pub area (so moody and lovely) and it was arguably the best meal I've ever had. The gravy....! Oh the gravy...!To top it off, Graham was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and we couldn't have asked for a better person to connect with.10 out of 10 recommend.Will absolutely come again.

We were seated right away. Our service was excellent. They had a very good variety on the menu. We ordered the burgers along with soup of the day and both were delicious. Our server JESS was exceptional. Very friendly and engaging in conversation always checking on our needs. Great prices as well.

First off, the place looks great. The bar is very nice and the staff were fantastic. The location is very close to a large parking garage with reasonable rates and the bus/train station. The building is old, but remodeled. …

I am 64 years old and eaten out in a lot of places in that time. I have never had to wait as long as I did tonight for a meal. Obviously very inexperienced staff, although they did their best. We waited 1hour and forty five minutes for our food with very little explanation for the delay. When I eventually lost patience and asked if we were getting any food this evening the girl said she would ask the chef, I said we were told 20 minutes ago that the food was on its way, she replied that's what the chef told us to say.Never again.

We dined at the restaurant, and did not stay at the hotel. The staff was lovely, however we had to wait a long while for our food to arrive. The staff was apologetic about it, which we appreciated. They serve big portions and the food was good.

The is a review for the Pub which should have a separate Google Listing. Great service friendly staff and the food is excellent. The steak sandwich with fried onions and the carrot coriander soup were amazing. Definitely worth having a meal while in Inverness.

We ate lunch at the Blackfriars Inverness. Lovely atmosphere, great fish, and chips. The drinks, both cocktails and beer, were fantastic. I believe the proprietor waited on us, and he was a delight.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant downstairs is really good and there is little reason to eat somewhere else. The breakfast they have is amazing as well. The rooms are really cozy, but the floors are really squeaky. But the rooms are spaced enough, so that you won't hear your neighbors that loud. Overall amazing and would definitely come again
