Our room was quiet and, although large, very cozy. Lovely decor in our room and a huge bathroom. The staff was incredibly wonderful...from the front of the house to servers at breakfast. They were warm and helpful.

The room is too small, very worn and in need of a revamp. We have stayed in outstanding hotels for the same price, and unfortunately Rocpool did not live up to expectations. When you come in there is no reception desk so we were left hovering around while other guests could see us through the glass at their dinner table.
The staff were very friendly and attentive could not fault them whatsoever. The balcony in our room with the hot tub and beautiful view of Inverness were the highlight.

We found the dinner process very inflexible and rather awkward: we were required to sit in a foyer and have a (free) appetizer and drink while making our menu selections. It took a while for that to occur. Then we were taken to the dining room and be served. We encountered this same procedure at a couple of other restaurants in Scotland, so clearly it is a common practice, but we found it awkward. The food was wonderful, though!

Didn’t really think it was value for money. Ate in bar area and staff not attentive. Had to ask to order more drinks and waited a while for wine etc. Food not exceptional at all - was quite disappointed.
Nice room, however smelt a little damp.

The room could have been a lot cleaner, we found a lot of dust without even looking. My partner found the bed sagged on her side which didn’t help her sleep at all. Overall, for £243 a night for just a bed and breakfast I wouldn’t be paying to stay there again.
The food and service is exceptional and the breakfast was amazing.

“Recommend the Rocpool Reserve Inverness”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Decadent
- • Stayed 3 nights
When I booked the 463 square foot room, I didn't understand that it was divided up among three rooms. We really didn't like the lack of privacy between the sitting area and the bedroom - a glass window and a glass door. The frosted area on the bathroom door needs to be complete and not clear around the edges. We did not like the location in that after walking around Inverness, we had to trudge uphill a good ways and cross the street twice to stay on the sidewalk with moderate traffic whizzing by to get back to the hotel.
We liked the friendly, attentive, helpful staff. The included breakfast was delicious, bountiful and cooked to order.
