The amenities were lovely. They kept real milk chilled in the fridge for your tea or coffee which was such a nice touch. The food was unbelievable as were the drinks. The ambiance was as about as Scottish as you could imagine which is what you want when you're traveling abroad. Can't say enough great things about this place.

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.

This is a fantastic and memorable property we stayed at during it 8 day journey. The room was wonderful, spacious and like home. The staff were so kind and accommodating for us. I had some dietary restrictions and the chef did everything to accommodate me and all were absolutely gourmet. I appreciated their kindness and flexibility. Gorgeous grounds. Enjoyed sitting outside y the water. I wished we could have stayed longer. It was so enjoyable and memorable.

A hotel should at the minimum provide a secure room, a bed, and hot water. Hot water was regrettably not provided. Staff were unable to account for it’s not reaching the turret room. While the staff member was courteous and apologetic, her solution was to defray the cost of bar food dinner — a small percentage of the not inexpensive room charge. On a chilly drizzly morning we would have been better served by hot water or a more diminished charge. Disappointing hydraulics and response.

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!

Difficult to get to town from this hotel. The staff were lovely. Very loud banging and noise from toilet and people taking showers, thin walls. No food options except for very expensive food that was not very filling. More than 100£ to eat for 2 people,.

Beds are old and tired. For the price paid, I would expect a mattress that is newer and doesn't have coil springs that you can feel.

En si el hotel es magnifico. Un autentico castillo antiguo con toda la decoración de su epoca. Esta en medio de un bosque y al lado de un lago lo que lo hace unico y precioso. Sin embargo, la distancia y ubicación en mi opinión no son ideales si quieres visitar varios lugares en inverness ya que tienes por fuerza que llamar taxi si no tienes coche. El personal es sumamente amable. Solo tuve un pequeño inconveniente dado que una de las noches me salió una araña enorme en el cuarto. El personal lo resolvió, pero no me quedaria ahi si no te gustan los insectos pues al ser un hotel antiguo y en medio del bosque es mas que probable que tengas una experiencia similar.
