Absolutely fantastic property, and even better host!! The breakfast was to DIE for, rooms were quiet and clean, and the host treats you just like you were long lost family returned home for a visit, while still respecting your privacy in a beautiful and quiet setting. Thank you again so, so much for everything, and when we come back to Scotland, as long as we come through that area we definitely will be back!! Much love from our side of the pond.

Cozy B&B with breakfast; ticks all boxes

This was my favorite place to stay for the duration of my travels. I wanted a cozy, classic bed and breakfast experience, and this fulfilled all criteria. You are shown up to a room with nice decor and clean, updated bathrooms. Tea station in the rooms as well. The best part was the breakfast - the hosts cooked up an authentic Scottish breakfast made-to-order, and you are seated in a quaint parlor eating breakfast and looking out the window. The hosts are born and raised and happy to answer questions or make recommendations. I was most pleased with the whole experience and would like to come back in the future.

Had the opportunity to stay a second time at the Gatehouse Guest House. Ranald and Caroline continue to impress as warm and welcoming hosts who pamper their guests. They know Inverness well and share their knowledge of local history, sites, restaurants and shops. The Gatehouse is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood just 15 minutes from the main shopping area. Comfortable, well equipped room. Generous, delicious breakfast. Beautiful grounds. Exceptional on all levels.

It was a very fancy and clean house, we really loved to stay there. Just the parking situation was a bit weird. There were no parking spots at the house directly so we had to park on the street not knowing if we were really allowed.

Caroline and Ranald were absolutely lovely. Ranald greeted us outside upon our arrival and carried in our luggage. Gave us restaurant suggestions and directions for dinner. Caroline made a lovely breakfast and was able to accommodate all of my dietary restrictions. Absolutely lovely and would definitely return.

Stay spoiled by payment complication.

Pre booked and supposedly pre-paid through Hotels.com but host presented a "complication" with the pre-payment that ended up seeking cash payment, which was most inconvenient and unique experience with Hotels.com. No such experience with 7 other hotels booked at same time !!!!!

Beautiful home! We truly enjoyed our short stay here while passing through Inverness. Very clean, comfortable bed, easy access to the downtown area, and our host was super helpful in directing us where to go for a late meal when we arrived later evening:) They really do make you feel right at home, and hands down best breakfast we had on our trip! They go over and above. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Ranald and Caroline were the most excellent hosts! My brother and I stayed here for a few nights and enjoyed the coziness of their bed and breakfast. We also loved that the location was a short walk to the Inverness city center, especially enjoying all of the spring blooms. Each morning Ranald and Caroline provided a lovely breakfast with coffee and tea. They also recommended several places in and around Inverness and were so kind and personable. We really enjoyed our stay! I hope to be back again soon!!

Staying at The Gatehouse is akin to staying in a luxury hotel but in the intimate environment of a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood. Caroline and Ranald are excellent hosts, very welcoming. My room was cozy; the bed very comfortable. The traditional Scottish breakfast was a culinary feast. I have already booked a return visit.
