Dolphin Suites August 2022

Simply amazing place to stay with breath taking views across to the Black Isle. Quiet village location that has every amenity you would need, if not there is a Tesco superstore about 8 miles away in Inverness. Great base to chill and relax after a day off tourist activities. The owner Paul cannot do enough to help and is rightly proud of his property and what him and wife have achieved. Will definitely be back.

Paul is a great host

Excellent apartment. Great location - on the beach (Walkable distance to Fort George). Grocery store at 2 minute walk. Loads of maps and information provided for holiday makers to plan their stay better. The host, Paul personally came around and checked on us. Based on our requirements, he gave us some valuable suggestions that helped us get the best put of our stay in Ardersier

The owner, Paul and his wife were fantastic! Our train was delayed and stuck between stations due to lightening taking out the signals. Paul went to the store and left us milk in the fridge so we could have tea when we arrived. We also met us there later to show us how everything worked, took us behind the suires to show us where we could buy stuff as well as where to eat.

So Quiet

We were a bit late for our check in but the staff was more than accommodating, even recommending a local pub for supper. The rental was clean and the informational book in the living room was very helpful. The views out to the bay are phenomenal and the town was so quiet (we were there off-season).

Exploring the Scottish Highlands

We had a delightful stay at the Dolphin Bay Suites. Paul, the manager, met us and gave us a great overview of the facility and the various points of interest and history in the little town. He told us about numerous sights to see and places to hear good music. He also sent us to a local dairy where they make great cheese! Other than an interesting learning experience with Scottish washing machines everything was great. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Sehr schönes Appartment/Hotel mit Ausblick

Wir waren hier zu dritt in unserem Schottlandurlaub. Unser Aufenthalt hier war einer der besten in diesem 14 tägigen Rundtrip. Von unserem Zimmer im oberen Stockwerk hatten wir eine schöne Sicht auf die Bucht und viel Ruhe gehabt. Die Ausstattung war für uns top. Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten. Wer es abseits der großen Orte mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Der Besitzer/Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und hat uns mit vielen schönen Anekdoten und Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt versorgt. Vom Hotel konnten wir leider keine Delfine aus sehen, doch nach einer Autofahrt auf die gegenüberliegende Seite haben wir einen Platz entdeckt, wo die Sichtung sehr zuverlässig war. Wir kommen gerne wieder, wenn die Zukunft es zu lässt und wir wieder nach Schottland wollen.

Work in a Foreign Land

I regularly visit Inverness for work purposes and would normally stop closer to the town centre; however, on this occasion the available accommodation was minimal. The Dolphin Bay Suites was one of the few remaining places and I must admit I was very surprised and pleased with the rooms and facilities (more TVs than I have at home). I actually tried to book the same place the following week but, not surprisingly, they were all booked. I arrived late evening after the owners had left for the day but, unlike some other reports, I found the attentive nature and instructions for gaining access to my suite very straight forward. I had to make a call over the wifi code which was resolved quickly. There was even some milk in the fridge to allow that late night cup of tea until some other provisions were obtained. I would be seeking these suites out if I visited the area on a holiday, especially with a family, as there are good local facilities.
