Jim and Christina were wonderful hosts. The room was very comfortable, and a gorgeous view of the water outside. It was very quiet at Sealladh Sona, and we really enjoyed our three night stay here. It was about a mile walk to the main area of Inverness, which made this a perfect location! There was also pleanty of parking either directly in front of the house, or just down the street in a lot. We had a couple early mornings, and Jim and Christina were kind enough to pack us to go Breakfasts. The one breakfast we ate at the B&B was absolutely delicious! We definitely would love to stay here again next time we're visiting Inverness!

Excellent Inverness bed & breakfast

I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing a truly delightful bed & breakfast such as Sealladh Sona in many years. The hosts, Christina and Jim, are a wonderful and friendly couple who made us feel welcome in their home. The breakfast is outstanding and filling, with many options and plenty of fun conversations on the side. The room (doon stairs) is very clean, spacious and everything you could want or need is provided. Location-wise, Sealladh Sona is within walking distance of Inverness center - also great to walk off those extra calories. Parking in front of the property is great as well. The only thing I regret is that we didn't stay longer at this wonderful b&b. Thank you for everything, Christina & Jim.

Tres bien

Dans l ensemble tres satisfaisant. Nous avons regretté deux choses. 1 manque de savon : uniquement une dosette pour deux pourc3 jours. 2. Les horaires des petits dejeuners. En effet , il n etait pas noté sur le site que c etait dec8 h a 9 h. Or nous devions partir deux fois a 7 h et 7 h30. Nous avons eu certes des petits paquets mais il etait interdit de les manger a l intérieur. A 60 ans devoir etre dehors m a un peu heurtée. Nous aurions tres bien pu etre dans la salle du petit dejeuner faire le grignotage sans bruit ... A part cela , bel emplacement, tres bon petit déjeuner, hotes agreables.

Alojamiento muy recomendable

Los propietarios son una pareja encantadora que nos dió recomendaciones y nos ayudó en todo lo que pudo. El desayuno es muy bueno, casero y con productos de calidad y de proximidad. Hay diferentes opciones para elegir, entre ellas el típico desayuno escocés, y todo te lo preparan al momento. La casa está impecable y decorada con gusto. La habitación es muy acogedora. Te sientes como en casa. En 15-20 minutos paseando estas en el centro de Inverness y a un par de minutos andado hay un Lidl.

Trevlig B&B vid kanalen

Ägaren tog emot oss vid incheckning och var väldigt trevlig. Superfin frukost, bättre än på hotellen. En bit ifrån staden (15-20min från stadskärnan). Men värt några extra steg. Detta rekommenderas!

Great location, comfortable, clean and friendly

This BnB has a great location across the river from the main town so in a lovely quiet area. Sited right next to the canal it has a great outlook and local walks to enjoy. Internally the owners make you feel so welcome, there is plenty of space, its immaculate clean and comfortable. Breakfast is cooked to order, plentiful and of top quality. We would definitely return if back in Inverness.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay, in a very quiet part of the city; and easy to walk into the city, even after completing the marathon :-) Bedroom overlooked the canal and locks, and the room we had; we really couldn't ask for more. The photos really don't do it justice how nice a place this is. Jim and Christina were such lovely people, very friendly and so welcoming.
