Hotels near McColl＇s in Inverness

Leaving a card in the room to let you know who cleaned it is a nice touch, top marks to Lucy the room was spotless. Never have a fault with this hotel it's always immaculate inside and out. Plenty of free parking, quiet at night and nice big room. Great shower.

I've been coming to this hotel for around 20 years, initially on business and now for leisure, and I visit every few years. In that time not much has changed, apart from the ownership. The hotel is still a beautiful building set in tranquil and wonderful grounds. The downstairs interior is stately and is tastefully decorated with an elegant bar, Lounge and Restaurant. Staff on Reception are polite and helpful But the hotel isn't without its issues which are 1) The bedroom furniture has been the same on every visit over the last 20 years and is showing its age 2) The carpet in the room we were given was actually threadbare in places and isn't what you expect 3) The lady waiting tables at breakfast is a joy. She is attentive, polite and helpful. The same cannot be said of the older gentleman working there who is ignorant and ignores people waiting to be seated. There is no need to be so rude and dismissive of people of all nationalities who are basically paying his wages ! 4) My biggest grumble of all is the lack of a premium lager in the hotel bar. Under previous management in the early 2000's they used to stock 1664 but now it's Carling (yuk!), Guinness, Scots ale or Cider. I would have spent a lot more time in there had they stocked better beer. That's a real own goal and other guests are of the same opinion.

Really disappointing experience compared with the photos displayed on their website. Here on business for four nights. On my first night I was allocated a room with a connecting door, the guests next door returned to the hotel around 11.30pm and played music till 3am. It felt like they were in the room with me. I honestly don’t think they were that loud, just absolutely no sound proofing in the room. I requested a room change as I had confidential calls to make, the reception quickly allocated another room for me, but based on the accommodation areas it is just a very tired hotel. Tight entrance into room and toilet area. Have to say lovely breakfast and food in the restaurant was good, as are the staff. Sorry would not choose to return.

This is what the Trip Advisor site says: “Loch Ness Lodge is an elegant and intimate retreat - a luxury B&B - in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, which brings together the very best of traditional Scottish architecture and contemporary design. With seven sumptuous, individually designed bedrooms, elegant reception rooms, a spa and therapy area and access to some of Scotland's most stunning scenery, Loch Ness Lodge has everything you could need for an unforgettable break.” Unfortunately, it’s not quite true. Although a lovely B&B, it does not have a spa or therapy rooms nor does it have everything you need for an unforgettable break. If you are an American and think you are getting 5 star lodge, you will be disappointed as were we. It has none of the amenities we are accustomed to at a 5 star facility based on US standards. It is indeed a lovely Bed and Breakfast with superb service. When the manager realized we were disappointed he offered a complimentary bottle of Prosecco which was very generous. The staff goes over and above to make guests feel welcome. We appreciated that. The room had a great view of the Loch Ness and was comfortably appointed. Other than breakfast, there are no meals served here. You can request a charcuterie plate in advance. For lunch or dinner you must walk down a hill to a nearby restaurant (The Clansman). Otherwise, you have to get a taxi into Inverness (about 20 minutes). The hill makes it unadvisable for people with mobility issues. Overall, if you are interested in an upscale B&B you will appreciate Loch Ness Lodge and its wonderfully hospitable staff.

It does the job but that's about it. We stayed 2 nights during our Isle of skye trip. The shared room was big enough for 4 people to move around but besides of 2 bunk beds there was absolutely nothing else in the room. A chair or two might have been great as when you are at the bottom bunk you can't sit on it as the top bunk is set to low. The beds were fairly comfortable but noise every time you moved. The bathrooms very supposedly cleaned but def weren't, the sign was just put up. The floors in the shower were dirty, only two hooks, so the chance of your stuff getting wet were pretty high. Also super annoying was the push and stop buttons in the shower, they turn of every 15 sec or so, it's annoying to take a shower. Same for the ”give it a good yank” in the toilets, most of the time the yank wasn't enough and the toilets didn't flush. The kitchen upstairs is small, we only stored something in the fridge but I wouldn't cook there as it's just waaaaay to small. The good thing is the location as it's right around the corner from the bus stop. If you simple need a place to stay overnight, I would say it's alright but still too expensive for what is offered.

Stay was great..breakfast was fantastic...room was great ...beds were comfy ..bathroom was very clean...staff were very friendly and helpful..used the swimming pool which wasn't too many people using it at one time....the only one comment will make is that part of carpet was stained with food.4/5rating for that one...everything else was very clean .which carpet should have been cleaned...

I have now stayed at the Priory on 2 occasions and will be returning again. This is a family run hotel and this is reflected in the high standard of accommodation and service. The staff are courteous and professional and clearly on the ball. The restaurant is sensibly priced and serves an imaginative menu, and high quality food. You can tell the restaurant is popular as it is a busy place, patronised by non residents from the area, as well as hotel guests. There no is also a separate more informal bar with reasonably priced drinks. The hotel seems to pride itself on the standard of customer care. Thanks again for a great stay.

Friendly and efficient staff. Room was large and comfortable. Decor perhaps a little tired but we e were lucky enough to have a river view. Breakfast very nice but not such a fan of the tick box menu. The time it takes for staff to explain, check and make any amendments could be spent just taking order. I can understand that it is more convenient for the wait staff though in busy periods or with large groups.
