We had a delightful stay at Cawdor House, thanks in large part to the fabulous couple who own and run it. Their warmth and hospitality truly made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The room we stayed in was small but pleasant and well-kept. As you’d expect in an older house, the walls are a bit thin, but that’s part of the charm and character of a traditional building like this. Breakfast was a highlight — a lovely continental spread, made even better by the fresh espresso in the morning. It was the perfect kick-start to the day and a thoughtful touch that really stood out. A charming place with personal service that makes all the difference. Would definitely recommend for a cozy, welcoming stay.

We had a warm and friendly welcome at the Cawdor House. It was very clean and comfortable. The owners are working hard to make it a wonderful B & B. Also, it’s close to the airport and one doesn’t have to contend with the traffic in Inverness. Would highly recommend it.

We love to stay in B and Bs with charm. This one definitely has it. The staff is very gracious. The sitting room and dining area downstairs was very nice. Comes with. Hot breakfast to order. Our room had a quaint view of some of the other village homes. Our room was very nice and very clean. Location is great. Easy to walk to lots of things and overnight parking on the street was right outside.

Perfection!

Great hostesses! Elegant and at the same time very warm and attentive. You can see they want to deliver a perfect service! The room was super clean and comfortable, breakfast was amazing with delicious coffee made in a professional Italian coffee maker (it was a very pleasant surprise!), a good variety of cheeses and charcuterie, fresh fruit salad and more. We'll certainly come back and recommend to our friend and family!
