“The central location, overlooking Inverness Castle and the River Ness, is a definite advantage. I appreciate the effort to blend historical charm with modern amenities, though some aspects appear dated. Dining here seems promising, especially the focus on local Highland produce at MacNabs Bar & Bistro.”
