We felt welcomed by Paul from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious and clean. The inn is a beautifully restored Victorian. The breakfast each morning was delicious. The hotel is an easy walk to the waterfront in Inverness, so dining options are plentiful. I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed two nights in the green room, and we were very satisfied. It was very cosy and spacious with everything we needed (and more). We had breakfast both days and enjoyed both the food and service. We left both days well fed. The host Paul was very welcoming and could give advice about what to do during our stay. We had two good nights sleep, and would recommend anyone to make a visit. The house is located about 25min from the station on foot, but you can hop on a bus that stops very near the house.

We had a lovely stay. The house was spotlessly clean, quite unique and beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. It was an easy walk into Inverness for food and shops. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with lots of choice and exceptional poached eggs! The house had a very peaceful serene feeling to it and was really relaxing. Paul and Tony were so friendly and very helpful. We would most definitely stay there again.

My husband and I had a great stay at this bed and breakfast. It is about a 15 minute walk from the city center, but that was not so bad, and there are plenty of places to park in the city if you’d rather drive.

We had a lovely stay at the Trafford. Paul was very helpful and accommodating. The garden is lovely. There was a bit of an issue with low water pressure in the shower and the shower was quite small for my husband but that didn’t outweigh the many positives, including a fabulous bathtub. We would definitely stay here again!
