    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!!

    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.

    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.

    My wife and I stayed at the Gatehouse during our trip through Scotland. We were blown away but the cuteness of the property and hospitality from the hosts. The breakfast was delicious, bathrooms were clean, and our room was very tidy. We loved staying here and would recommend to anyone passing through.
