10/10

This is the quaintest little hotel in the heart of Inverness. We were in Scotland for 11 days, and our 3 day stay at Blackfriar was the absolute best. 10/10 recommend.

10/10

We loved our stay at Black Friars! The room was spacious and very comfortable. We were able to store our luggage the day of arrival and departure which was super helpful to allow us to explore Inverness. We enjoyed conversing with the proprietor and learning about Scotch. We also enjoyed a couple of meals at the tavern.

Really loved this stay! It was only one night so we didn’t get a full on stay experience. The owner greeted us and was so helpful getting our keys and showing us your room. Only thing was the bathroom had a bit of a funky smell but with us being there one night it was unbearable if you kept the door closed. Very comfy bed and super close for walking to everything!

Coziest little bed and breakfast, the owners were so kind and accommodating. The rooms were like a little dream so comfy and warm . Definitely my fav place I’ve ever stayed in Scotland.
