Nice and peaceful atmosphere. Food was great and I had a chat with two girls working there and they were really helpful with all the information I needed. Perhaps 5.50 for a shower its a bit much when everywhere around UK you would spend 2-3.50 for that pleasure... Thanks guys, see you soon. Michael

Excellent value. Good potions Small wait time. No tables spare for sitting in but I guess that's testimony to it's quality/value.

This is a GEM for when travelling through Inverness. Perfect for drivers but also popular with locals and families. Breakfast was spot on, better than most hotels, just what I needed and the steak pie I got for lunch was a very nice top up for when I got hungry later on. Both very very reasonably priced for the quality. Also stopped the next day for a roll which was awesome too, bacon and black pud roll. Perfecto!!!! They also do really have a V8, looks like a Scania, was running when parked. Enjoy!!!
