It was great to have the restaurant right below us. We were able to walk everywhere without getting a car. Lots of freebie treats in the room were a nice touch. We would definitely stay there again!
The vibrant atmosphere of the property overall. Mattress was great for a good night's sleep! Ps. A big shout-out to Caitlyn for her professionalism!

This property has a lot of character, it’s overall clean, but it does need a little bit of TLC. It is very difficult to get heavy luggage up the narrow stairs
This was the most amazing stay we had during our 2week trip. Rooms were comfortable clean and spacious. Owner and all staff were amazing and friendly !
Really loved this stay! It was only one night so we didn’t get a full on stay experience. The owner greeted us and was so helpful getting our keys and showing us your room. Only thing was the bathroom had a bit of a funky smell but with us being there one night it was unbearable if you kept the door closed. Very comfy bed and super close for walking to everything!
We loved our stay at Black Friars! The room was spacious and very comfortable. We were able to store our luggage the day of arrival and departure which was super helpful to allow us to explore Inverness. We enjoyed conversing with the proprietor and learning about Scotch. We also enjoyed a couple of meals at the tavern.
A huge mention to Niahm who delivered in an amazing service from the moment we walked in to us leaving.
This place has completely over exceeded on my expectations and an amazing value for the money.
This property has excellent reviews but I just couldn't give it 5 stars. The radiator in our room didn't work so it was cold when we got there. The cleaning staff were cleaning other rooms and had turned off all the heating on the floors while they worked. After several trips to the bar/reception to try to get the heating in our room going it wasn't resolved so we used a little fan heater. The paintwork is a bit tired and the grout i the shower could use a deep clean. The staff were friendly and tried to help where they could.
The Black Friar was a great place to stay in Inverness. It was really convenient to the bus station. Close to everything that I wanted to see and walk to. The staff were helpful and accommodating. The room was perfect and had a great shower! Would stay again.
Coziest little bed and breakfast, the owners were so kind and accommodating. The rooms were like a little dream so comfy and warm . Definitely my fav place I’ve ever stayed in Scotland. Their pub food is the best ever Please try their broccoli soup and their sticky toffee pudding. It was the warmest coziest stay. Definitely recommend!
Had such a lovely stay and will make this my go to spot in Inverness! I arrived quite late due to train delays and they couldn’t have been less bothered. Fixed me up something to eat in the bar and restaurant downstairs (which is excellent) straight away. My room was so comfortable and fully of lovely treats. The large bath was divine and the shower had excellent water pressure (a rarity when traveling!). The location is a 4 minute walk from the train station and proximal to great places to eat, enjoy live music, see historic sites, and take the train or bus to wherever you want to go beyond walking distance.
