Spent a great weekend here celebrating my daughters birthday. The house is very spacious with very comfortable rooms. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you can need. Plenty of room for everyone to eat at the table. Lovely welcome pack. There is ample room outside the house both at the back and the front to sit outside. Lovely hot tub and the outside bar is great with a log fire and amplifiers. Would definitely recommend.

Fully recommend - 10 minute walk (mostly along the River Ness) from the city centre in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, great night's sleep. Excellent Scottish hospitality - warm welcome from James on arrival, delicious breakfast - and snacks! You won't go wrong staying here.

This stylish and comfortable B&B was the perfect place to stay in Inverness. It's an easy (and pretty) stroll from the restaurants and High Street. From the warm welcome (with fresh shortbread, too!) to the thoughtful touches in the room to the delicious, plentiful breakfast, I felt so well taken care of. My only regret is that I only stayed one night. This would be a perfect place to make a base for exploring the Highlands. I hope to return!

Lovely place to stay. we stayed as a grounp of families 8 adults and 6 childrens. The house was big enough for us all with a room or two spare. There is a small hot tub that the kids loved during the day and adults used at night. There is a timber shed bar in the garden that we used every night, bar is well kitted out and the log burning stove was great. The hosts provided alot of little extras which were appreciated. We would love to go back to this place again.

Thoroughly enjoyed Lairds Lodge for 5 nights in September 2023 as our base for first golf trip to Scotland. Location, rooms and amenities - all excellent. Added bonus: just a 4 min walk to the "Ladies Walk" along River Ness which was sublime. Look forward to returning to LL again soon.

I would give 6 stars if I could. Perfect location. Beautiful building. Walking distance to restaurants in Inverness yet tucked away and quiet. Immaculate and well equipped with all fixtures and fittings well maintained. Excellent breakfast and service. We had a daily itinerary printed by James for our excursions as we explored the highlands. I hope to go back. James and Kristen run a top class friendly establishment.
