5/5 Excellent
"The owners make you feel like you’re staying with family. The backyard leads to the most relaxing views of the ocean. Don’t stay in Inverness. This place is worth the stay - extremely relaxing "
A verified traveler stayed at Invernairne Guest House
" A large old hotel, set in beautiful grounds with view of the sea. Looks a place set up for weddings but had only a dozen or so guests. Reception and bar staff, super friendly and helpful. Room was a little dated but most importantly in relation to cost was super. Really clean, all amenities and a great shower.
Breakfast was again excellent, helpful and attentive staff. Thoroughly recommend this place. For the price it's the best stay we have had in a long while"
