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

The age, history and location of the property were unique. I liked that breakfast was included. Didn't like there was no WiFi in my room; or the number of steps....but recognize it is an old, old house.

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.

This property is fantastic as well as the staff! Very friendly and knowable. Our room was very clean, a bit on the small side but it made for it with the atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and very hospitable. If we were to return to Scotland I would definitely stay here as often as we could.

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.

We spent 2 nights at Bunchrew house. It cannot be beat for convenience to Inverness, while also providing tranquility on the water. We had 3 rooms, mine was the smallest at the front of the house. 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.

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.

We spent 2 nights at Bunchrew house. It cannot be beat for convenience to Inverness, while also providing tranquility on the water. We had 3 rooms, mine was the smallest at the front of the house. 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.

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 !!

Lovely property and situated quietly on the water. Beautiful sunrises and great place to really take it all in and relax. Incredible lamb and wines for dinner. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly.

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

Difficult to get to town from this hotel. The staff were lovely. Very loud banging and noise from toilet and people taking showers, thin walls. No food options except for very expensive food that was not very filling. More than 100£ to eat for 2 people,.

The hotel is lovely. The evening meal was just outstanding. The chef put on a special vegan selection for myself and my husband enjoyed every bite of his meal. Thank you for looking after us so well.

The setting couldn’t be more beautiful and we have NEVER had better meals than the lovely dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Their chef is top-notch. The rooms are in serious need of a refresh, but they were clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.

A wonderful historic building in a quiet rural setting. Stunning views. Comfortable bed, Dinner was excellent and the full breakfast has to be the best I've ever had in any hotel. Staff were very professional and courteous. I highly recommend a stay there and would myself return. I was a solo traveller but I recommend this as a romantic getaway for any couple so inclined. I would recommend it for its more relaxed and sedate pace. If it's nightlife you're after then perhaps it's not for you and something more central would be more suitable. Otherwise, you should consider this establishment.

Beautiful mansion on the water. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. We didn't have dinner at the hotel. I gave 3 stars for amenities because they don't have a gym or pool or anything like that. There is a bar and a great room to relax and play games or cards in. It was pretty cold when we stayed here so we weren't outside wandering the property much, but we would have if it had been a little nicer out. We didn't have a car so we did have to use prebooked taxis to get to and from the city while we were there. I would recommend this hotel if you want a quiet peaceful place to stay.
