Old North Inn Hotel, Inverness

Staff were bright and friendly. Room was spacious, clean and modern, likewise the bathroom with its walk-in shower. Glad to have lots of off-road parking even if the surface was somewhat rough and uneven. Fast WiFi!

The first thing to say is that the staff are extremely hospitable, friendly and down to earth and this creates a really nice atmosphere at the hotel. The food is also very good, the breakfast set up is excellent, and the dinner menu that we experienced (only the bar menu) was hearty, tasty and well portioned, if a little limited- though I think there is a restaurant menu we never saw. The rooms in the hotel, and parts of the hotel itself are little bit tired and might benefit from a little modernisation but this is well in keeping with the price and doesn't really detract from the experience.

Room was basic but comfortable, staff was very helpful and super lovely, but honestly the main star was the food. We didn't expect it, but the food is all local, sustainable, fresh and excellently cooked. I had an amazing venison burger and the cullen skink was sublime. The owner, who I believe is involved in the cooking, came to chat to us and was explaining where they source their food and he seemed genuinely passionate about it. Would recommend staying here!

We were very pleased with our stay at the Old North Inn. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always making jokes and smiling. Breakfast was really nice, especially because they were homemade. A good selection of items to include in your breakfast. The bed in our room was so comfortable! The room had a good size and both the room and bathroom were very clean, big shower as well! A nice surprise was that the TV in our room had access to Netflix and Prime Video which meant we could watch a movie or show to wind down after dinner. The bar on the ground floor has a pool table that tourists can enjoy after a day of sightseeing or hiking, alongside a pint, whisky (a massive selection) or cocktail (I recommend the peach gin cocktail).

This is probably the friendliest Hotel we’ve ever stayed in, the staff are amazing and very helpful, nothing’s a problem to them. The rooms are clean and the food is exceptional, with breakfast having excellent choices. Our wee dog Honey was with us and I’m sure she loved her holiday. We hope to return sometime and we would certainly recommend the Old North Inn to all.
