What guests think

Inverness Lochardil House, by Highland Coast Hotels, draws praise for warm staff, spacious rooms, and a serene historic setting with gardens, while some guests note dated decor in annex rooms and the distance from downtown.

Breakfast and dinner in the glass conservatory receive frequent compliments, though service speed and consistency vary at times. Several guests were placed in the annex rather than the main house, and some mentioned weak Wi-Fi, hot-water or pressure glitches, warm rooms without AC, and the lack of a lift there. Expect a charming, characterful stay.

Lovely historic home, now hotel, in a beautiful quiet neighborhood close to downtown. Breakfast was adequate and we enjoyed a cocktail in the bar the night before. The dinner menu looked delicious but we had already eaten. The room was dated but the bed and coverings were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and large. All staff interactions were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely Victorian hotel. Restaurant on site in a glass conservatory. Great breakfast included which you could have served or continental buffet. Dinner menu also had many good options. Rooms were very quiet and it had a garden off of the dining room. Nice lobby and bar area where you could have drinks.

A very nice hotel. Had everything we needed except....air conditioning during some pretty warm times in Scotland. I did not want to open a window since no screen was present on the window. A fan was provided which helped some but a long hot night. I understand the air conditioning is not preset on most hotels in the Highlands. Everything else is fine.

We stayed in a suite in the extra building on the property, not the main house. Only there for a couple of nights but staff were efficient and friendly, the rooms very clean. However the suite was very warm and stuffy, with no sort of ventilation or AC at all, and our king bed was two twin mattresses pushed together. Hotel bar and eating areas nicely furnished and comfortable, but I’d recommend going out for breakfast. Although complimentary, the food was poorly prepared/appeared cheap and pre-packaged, and there’s no real coffee. They stirred a teaspoon of instant into some hot water. Was expecting better quality for price. Probably would look for another stay next time, but comfortable and clean overall.

Property was just okay. We booked two standard king-bed rooms on Expedia and one party in our group ended up in a room for disabled individuals and the hotel blamed Expedia. They did the same thing to the couple in front of us who booked a suite and got a smaller room. Additionally, one of our rooms had dirty sheets and comforter and we had to have it changed late at night. Staff was again blaming the poor quality on Expedia (which is ridiculous). I hate managers who cannot take responsibility for their mistakes. Would not recommend this hotel.

The room was hot with no air and the bed spread was dirty. The carpets were also dirty and it smelled like smoke. Dinner was very slow and no one checked on us or tended to the bar. It is not a location I would recommend

Hotel is in a quiet area of Inverness, requiring a car or taxi to visit the town centre. The hotel itself is an older, grander building with a newer (2006), annex. We stayed in the annex, which had lovely big and clean rooms. Bed was very comfortable, with a fridge, tea and coffee. Bathroom was huge with nice products and a great shower. We had breakfast which was freshly cooked and delicious. Staff were all welcoming with a real family atmosphere and they couldn't do enough for us. We would definitely return and have no problem recommending the hotel to other travellers. Inverness is a great base to see the great glen and the north east coast.

Location is away from old town so you need to cab it if you dont want to drive. Also the room was not in the castle. Based on the pictures posted it seemed thar you'd be in the main castle but the room was actually in a very dated side building with dirty carpets and old smell.

Many rooms are spacious, comfortable, and quiet, with pleasant garden views and some modern options in the annex. Downsides include dated decor or small layouts in places, occasional water pressure/temperature and Wi-Fi issues, warm rooms without AC, and annex allocation disappointments.

Due to time of year (August), had to pay a premium to stay in Inverness for work. Have stayed in the hotel under previous ownership many times but dissapointed to see rooms have not changed at all. I stayed in one of the "Suites" in the outside wing. Same decor, same furniture, same carpets, same dated TV as when I stayed over 10 years ago. I realise you pay a premium for the time of year, but paying almost £250 a nights stay I would expect investment could be made in bringing the rooms up to a more modern standard.

Four of us (all adults) stayed here for our last night of a 10-day trip through England and Scotland. We couldn't believe how beautiful the exterior of the hotel was, as well as the lobby, and restaurant ... we felt like we were staying in a one of the castles we'd seen along the way. The staff were terrific, including Molly, an adorable pup who loves to play with the guests! Our rooms were comfortable and offered us a great night's rest before our journey back home to the States from Inverness Airport. The showers were a bit of a letdown, though, as there was very little water pressure. It's an old building, so perhaps that's to be expected? The breakfast buffet made up for it :)

The property is set in a residential area, so not right off a major transport road, but quiet & safe, which was great. The main building is beautiful with lovely common areas & a gorgeous dining conservatory serving a really nice breakfast. The welcome upon check-in was warm & accommodating, with the manager taking us to our room in order to deliver offered milk for hubby’s morning coffee. Our room was spacious with a lovely little table & chairs on a small porch out a door, overlooking a serene garden area. The bed was an actual American size king, which was great for us after a week of sleeping in beds smaller than what we’re used to! An added surprise, which brought a smile, was the sweet dog in the lobby. I’d not hesitate to recommend Lochardil House Hotel & would stay again if ever in the area in future.

Caroline at check in and Andrew in the dining room were outstanding. Service in the bar to have a drink was slow, seemed that when bar manager was busy the two young ladies helping were clueless and were unable to communicate to senior staff that we asked for drinks. Overall nice place to stay and nice walk to Inverness town Centre.
