Mountain View Hotels in Inverness

Located five minutes outside of Drumnadrochit, but the owner gave us excellent directions and we found it without a problem. You do need to drive to find somewhere to eat (and there’s very limited choice in the evenings), but the owners recommended the Loch Ness Inn which we dropped in to before arrival and the food and beer were excellent Warm friendly welcome by the lady of the house, showed us around and explained everything. Room was excellent – very spacious and all controlled by Amazon Echo (including the heating). View from our window was across Loch Meiklie and there were even binoculars in the room for a better view. Coffee / tea making facilities with an array of snacks to help ourselves to if we wanted. Bathroom was great with large walk in shower. Bed was large and very comfortable. Breakfast was continental only, but it was stunning. Wide range of pastries, cereal, fruit etc with a selection of cold meats and different cheeses – one of our favourite breakfasts of our two weeks in Scotland. The hosts Stu and his wife were first class – excellent conversation over breakfast Great value for money. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever in this part of the country.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE BAD COMMENTS!!! We have been here with our family for two days and if we had the chance we would stay another week. Everything is more than wonderful! Yesterday when we came the house was warm and CLEAN, the key was left for us and as soon as we called we got an answer from the owner/manager. We can't be thankful enough for everything we have here. WE WILL BE BACK ASAP FOR SURE!!!

I really like this homestay. The location is excellent, the rooms are Scottish and clean and tidy. The only regret is that I went to Sky Island for a day trip in the middle of three days. As a result, the weather was super bad in the middle of the day. It was raining, cold and humid, and I didn’t see a good view during the day. It’s better to have a sunny day in the inverness town or sit on the balcony of the hotel and have a coffee. On the last day of the breakfast, according to my custom request, I gave two fried eggs and two mushrooms. It can be said that it is very nice~ I can watch the morning sun from the window of the room where I live. It is very comfortable. I will stay here next time. And have plenty of time to go shopping in the town and balcony to drink coffee ~

Our rooms, mine and a friends were booked through a travel agent. We arrived in the area at about 6 PM and while ordering dinner at a restaurant we decided we should contact the B and B where we were staying for the night. From the moment she answered the phone she had an attitude. She started by saying she had sent us two emails that day and had tried to call us. We are not from Scotland and our phones do not work there. We did use WIFI each night though to check emails and such. We NEVER received a call or and email from Darroch View. Anyway she told us we had to be at her facility before 7 to check in or we had no room for the night. We left my husband at the restaurant (we had already ordered) and since we were 20-30 minutes from her we drove above what speed was safe to the address provided. As we found the entrance my friend was driving a little too fast and tired to slow but, not to her satisfaction. We parked and she came up to me, the passenger and said ”you better watch your speed here, you almost hit my dog.” We saw her AND the dog on a leash. They were about 15-20 feet from the road...So we didn't almost hit the dog. This dog was a large pit bull type that kept lunging on the lead. We went inside with her grumbling the whole time. Checked in and she starts giving verbal instructions about locking this door but not that door and after 10 PM and my eyes glazed over. No written instructions like any reputable B and B would have. I will say this was one of the cleanest places we stayed our whole time in Scotland. The room with 2 twin beds was TINY, had to turn sideways to walk around the beds to the bathroom. She supplied plenty of towels, soaps, coffee packets, etc. We went to leave and the driver of our car found she had pulled in in such a position the she was having a hard time backing out. If you go forward there was a significant drop off and there was another car parked there along with a huge travel trailer. Space was VERY limited. She noticed a sign saying COTTAGE Parking with and arrow pointing to the right. So, she figured she would go that way and then turn around in that parking area. It was smaller than the parking in the front. We were trying to turn around doing the 2” one way and then 2” another way method with me watching to make sure she didn't hit the other car back there or any property. The owner comes out and starts yelling at the driver, YELLING. Telling her she is responsible for that customers car, ect. and we are going to hit it. The car we rented was one of those that turns itself off when you idle too long, etc Then she starts telling her she is clueless. Then she yells, just back out and continues to yell, ”keep going”. About half way out while backing up, her husband comes out. HE WAS WORSE. He kept telling the driver to get out and he would get the car out of there. She didn't want to because the car was rented in her name and she was responsible for it. I told him she was trying to be careful and not (de

Very nice host, the house was clean and plenty of space for a family of 5. Also the view from the garden was amazing. Definetly will come back.
