What guests think

At Bunchrew House Hotel, travelers consistently praise the scenic waterfront setting and historic charm, the genuinely friendly, accommodating staff, and especially the excellent dining, from memorable dinners to quality breakfasts, often enjoyed in cozy lounge or dining spaces.

Rooms are frequently described as comfortable or spacious, but several guests note dated decor, occasional maintenance issues, limited temperature control, creaky floors, and some noise from plumbing or thin walls. The location is quiet and a bit outside town, so a car or taxi helps, with easy access to Inverness and nearby sights. While dining is widely praised, a few reviews mention a limited menu, higher prices, or smaller portions. Expect a charming, quiet stay with warm service and notably good meals.

Second time being here and it didnt disappoint. Lovely room. Friendly staff and tasty food. I love the bar and the choice of malts is excellent. Dog friendly, he got a sausage for his breakfast, and lots of space for dogs to run. One of my favourite retreats. I will be back again

Beautiful property but it took an hour to get breakfast from a harried and not so pleasant waitress. Food was good but expensive and portions small. Lunch in the bar was much better and more value for money. The rest of the staff was lovely and very attentive. The room had a beautiful view and was spacious and quite lovely in an old fashioned way but not much to see on the grounds ther than the water… ugly campground up the path next door

We had a lovely stay at Bunchrew House Hotel with friends. The hotel staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the bar both nights, the food was delicious, the only downside was there were no proper tables to sit at, it was low coffee tables. Would definitely stay again.

For the price, you are paying for the amazing loch views, and quiet serenity. Staff was very nice and helpful, food was great. However the owners need to update the rooms at this price point. I don’t mind experiencing the old charm of Scotland but not if it’s 1985 charm. Bathroom needs updating, even a curved shower curtain would go a long way. Wooden Floors are extremely creaky. Very hard to be quiet. Especially if you come in past midnight when all the doors are locked shut. Overall a great experience but didn’t compare to the updated hotels we stayed on this 12 day journey.

What a charming and cozy bed and breakfast! The area is gorgeous and the staff friendly. It is a bit out of town so a car is needed. The only complaint is that the maintenance in the hotel has not been kept up. The windows are hard to open and got stuck. The bathroom floor of Beauly room feels like it will cave at any minute. But the worst thing was the bathroom door which was an intrusion to everything in such a tiny room. The hardware on the door is very sharp so be careful lest you cut yourself !!

This stay was not planned, our ferry to Orkney was canceled. We decided to stay in Inverness for a few days… and it was absolutely wonderful. The rich history of Bunchrew House alone is worth the stay. The rooms were clean, not too small, are very cozy. Our welcome was great. Staff is friendly, the view from the back of the hotel is picturesque. Highly recommend.

I should have mentioned to staff, but my bed was not very comfortable… 2 twins put together without a topper. Staff was helpful and friendly. I would recommend this establishment to friends as a lovely house in a great location.

Bunchrew House is just a few words was peaceful, magical, and quaint. We adored this place! The hostess was very helpful and thorough, the spot is unbeatable for those wishing for a leisurely stay in Inverness, and the history and charm are bar-none. We didn't dream the house would hold so many rooms or that the food/dining room view would put us in such awe. The "Scottish Grill" at breakfast was delicious, the wait staff so respectful, and the environment had me feeling that I was really taking my breakfast in a classy 1700s setting. Loved it, and have already recommended this place to family and friends!

Second they arranged for a continental breakfast for us before the restaurant was opened so we could have a bite to eat. Then we phoned them and said we would be late returning after a lite fair is served. And they had a little snack available. They are very friendly and answered any questions we had. The property is right on the loch and very Scottish. We loved the hotel and would return.
