Old North Inn Hotel, Inverness

Wir versuchten, einem lauten Samstagabend in der Innenstadt von Inverness zu entkommen. Wir fanden dieses schöne Gasthaus mit dem Wirt Andrew, der auf uns wartete und uns bei unserer abendlichen Ankunft jede Hilfe anbot, die wir brauchten. Wir hatten ausgezeichnete Gespräche mit Andrew und einem anderen Gast in der gemütlichen Bar, als wir uns von einem Tag Fahrt durch das Hochland erholten. Das Zimmer wurde neu renoviert mit allen Möbeln, die man in einem Hotel erwartet. Andrew hat uns einen fairen Preis gegeben und wir können sein schottisches Frühstück wärmstens empfehlen! Wir bewerten unseren Aufenthalt im Old North Inn als schöne Erinnerung an unseren Urlaub in den Highlands.

This old establishment is pleasant enough. The room faced a very busy road and with the window open (or closed) is rather noisy so difficult for sleeping if a light sleeper. I suggest a non-road room if possible to see if that makes a difference. The bed was very soft. If you like a soft bed it would be very cozy. The shower was dreadful as it is the old electric on demand situation. Not ideal. The food was good. We opted for the breakfast and the selection should be sufficient for most. The dinner menu although small was perfect and good. I would say a bit pricey but was good. The staff were fabulous!

We frequently return to this pub whenever in the Highlands as you know you're going to get a good meal and friendly service. Upon our visit today (19/09/2024) nothing was too much trouble for the staff, in particular one lady (not sure of her name!) Who after asking what gin she kept, gave me a detailed run down of what she had, recommended a very tasty tarquin rhubarb and raspberry gin (highly recommend!) And then allowed me to sample some new vodka liquers they'd recently had in. In between serving she would have a chat with each table individually making you feel most welcome making up for the slight wait between courses, clearing plates etc. The food itself was delicious- the best chicken burger I've had! A simple menu yet a lot to choose from and something to suit everybody! Would definitely recommend if you're passing through and wanting a good hearty meal and the warmest welcome!

Stayed here on an over night trip, ate in the restaurant the steak and sticky toffee are to die for, best i've ever tasted. Compliments to Harley. Rooms are clean and comfortable, overall amazing experience will definitely be back in the future.

This is about 25 minute easy drive from Inverness airport. We selected this hotel as it was on route to Skye which was our next destination. Large car park with garden to the rear overlooking fields. We stayed one night, friendly greeting, room was lovely and bright and very clean. We were situated over the kitchen so we did get the kitchen smells during the cooking hours but that was fine. Nothing nearby so we happily ate at the hotel. Lovely bar food. The young waiting staff were friendly and helpful and service was really good. Food was delicious. The bar had a lovely ambience, a large group, another couple and a couple of passing cyclists dropped in for a meal. The beds were so comfortable I didn’t want to leave it! Breakfast cooked was good but if you want continental it is quite basic. The next day after we had checked out I thought it’d left my sunglasses in the room , the young staff member was so helpful in helping me try locate them, thankyou. We would definitely consider this hotel again. It was expensive at £140 I think we paid, for the level of hotel it was, though so i would knock off £50 and then say it was worth the money. Try it though, we’d go back.

First off, the positives: the daytime staff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Breakfast was fresh and good quality. The room is comfortable enough, the shower very good, so, five stars for that! Now, the not so positives: the maid never came to make up the room. We basically ran out of toilet paper and asked the night shift manager for a roll out two. “I’ll bring it up as soon as I’m finished in the bar- about 20 minutes.” That stretched into never. Other negatives: It’s expensive. Very expensive for what you get. If there’s a quaint 1700s post stop there, besides the walls, I must have missed it. All in all, it’s a nice enough place, far out from Inverness, but with half of the staff great and the other half … Not great. Three stars seems fair, but so would two…
