We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had dinner there a few nights and the food was delicious! I enjoyed the venison the most! I let the bar tender know that I enjoyed a specific Speyside whisky and he recommended a Balvenie that was tasty and comparable. We had a beautiful loch view from our room and I enjoyed waking up with the sunrise over the loch outside of our window. We caught the end of storm Amy and the week was pretty wet and chilly but the Bunchrew House Hotel also happily kept us warm! We’d been traveling for a couple of weeks so we had quite a bit of laundry to be done and the hotel also offers a laundry service and that worked out nicely as well. I would definitely recommend staying here and I would stay here again when we revisit Inverness.

Although the outside of the property was very picturesque, the interior was very tired and in need of updating. I didn’t feel the price reflected the quality of the rooms. The room advertised, was completely different to what we got.

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.

The staff is so accommodating. The first day we arrived the front desk arranged for a taxi for the next morning.We had an early morning excursion. 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.

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!

This property was the epitome of a Scotland vibe. It’s absolutely beautiful and quiet, and the staff was so friendly! The food in the hotel was delicious, I ordered the halibut. I’m so glad we booked a room here to have this experience! It’s a 15 min drive to see the adorable highland coos and Loch Ness. I would totally recommend and stay here again!
