Moyness House, Inverness

Advantages: Beautiful Hotel, Fantastic View
Disadvantages: Very Expensive, Location

...The Culloden House Hotel is located just outside Inverness near Culloden Battlefield. We spent a night in the hotel at the end of September. We stayed in one of the Junior Garden Suites. The suite was gorgeous and had two rooms; both the bedroom and the lounge had beautiful views of the grounds. The rooms were large and bright with tasteful decor. The bathroom was enormous and beautifully done in marble. I usually have trouble with hotel beds, but our bed was not too soft and extremely comfortable! I didn't want to leave! The staff is polite, accommodating and very helpful. Unfortunately, since the stay was so short we didn't get the chance to eat in the restaurant - which by all accounts is worth a trip up to Inverness in itself! Therefore, I cannot honestly rate the food as excellent as I didn't try it. The only... Read review

Advantages: Plenty activities, good nightlife at weekends, safe, scenic,
Disadvantages: weekday evening entertainment can be a bit poor,

...and big brand stores like next, marks and spencers, boots, zara, quiz, officers club, gadget stores, bar, hmv, new look, la senza, perfume shop, debenhams to list but a few, there really is a large selection along with a large food hall with kfc, pizza hut, lorimers, ben n jerry's, etc etc . The high street again has more shops from health shops to a pie shop just next door and banks to primark etc. It is again well transformed with stylish lighting and attractive flower baskets (in season) etc. There is only 3 or 4 nightclubs as such in inverness, Motion offers 2 rooms of hard house and rnb/house music, love2love & studio 25 offers usual commercial dance scene and rnb, Bakoo & Cactus Jaks offers much of the same but with bar top dancers in full swing some nights in cactus jaks. Rags well they are more hard house and techno type stuff... Read review

Advantages: Excellent base for the Highlands. History abounds.
Disadvantages: Unreliable weather

...Inverness,the capital of the Scottish Highlands,is a comparatively small city but has considerable charm and interest for the visitor. It has numerous historical links to the rather turbulent history of the Highlands and has a number of interesting historical buildings such as Inverness Castle,the Town Hall, and the houses and hotels along the riverside. Since it is an important tourist centre much visited by exiled Scots and their descendants from the USA,Canada,Australia,New Zealand and other countries,its hospitality industry is well developed. The accommodation base is good with several high quality hotels,well equipped guest houses and very homely bed and breakfast places. Most of these offer comfortable rooms and very hearty Scottish-style breakfasts. Inverness, also has a wide range of restaurants including a surprisingly large... Read review
