"Lovely old hotel with all modern conveniences. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The free onsite parking is a bonus if you rent a car for touring the surrounding area. Inverness is a terrific hub for the east side of the Highlands, and the Beaufort is an ideal base, also within short walking distance of the city centre. Recommended: book breakfast in advance for a better deal."

"We were there last week and had one of the small cabins out back. It was all we needed. Nothing fancy but it has a heater, twin beds and a private bathroom. There is a lounge room and kitchen to share. We couldn't get our heater to work, because the heaters they have a a little finicky, but the manager came out immediately and sorted it. Very well located! Buses are metres from the door. The community info hub is right next door."
