We stayed here our first night in Scotland and it was perfect. Lovely room. Lovely host and lovely restaurant across the street.

Carol United States of America

comfortable bed and bathroom was lovely. However do be aware some of the rooms (including ours) are only about 3 feet from the road through town and the ground floor room we had was on the sidewalk with people walking inches from our window. Dinner and breakfast in the pub type restaurant were very good.

Jeannette United States of America

The room size was large and very clean. Was very good value.

Chris United States of America

We liked everything about the Star Inn room. It was clean and looked good. The location was good, near Fort George and only a bus journey away from Inverness. we used our bus passes! The en suite bathroom was good, even had bathrobes provided. As well as tea making facilities there was a little fridge in the room. There were plenty of choices available for breakfast in The Star Inn across the road from our room. We enjoyed the full Scottish and smoked fish breakfasts on offer. There was a wide range of fruit and other breakfast options available. We enjoyed our evening meal there too. We would like to highly recommend The Star Inn and its staff.

it's in a quaint, tiny village. The room was fabulous and spotless, the bed was super comfy! The breakfast was great! Overall a superb experience!

Gypsyrose88 United States of America

the property was so cute with the bar and breakfast restarting across the street from the room. the room was absolutely wonderful, very adorable and comfortable. I wish my flight wasn’t so delayed, so I could have had more time to explore the property and surrounding area.

Leah United States of America

The amenities were beautiful, clean, and the staff was very accommodating. We had an early flight so we were going to miss breakfast and they even made us little breakfast packs.

Emily United States of America

The Star Inn ticked all the boxes! Great food after a long days journey, very friendly staff, and a clean, comfortable room!

Eric United States of America

The location is great for travelling from Inverness airport. A breakfast pack was offered as we left too early. The meal in the restaurant was pretty good

Betty United States of America

Beautiful room and décor. Bed very comfy. Great food in the pub opposite, breakfast included and very generous portions. Great location for the beach, walks and a visit to Fort George which is a 'must see'. I saw my first dolphin from the walls of the fort, lovely walk along the beach to the fort and spent 2-3 hours there and still didn't see everything. Need to book in advance but we arrived and booked for the next time slot. Ardesier is an unexpected gem and a lovely place to slow down and relax.

Property info

THE STAR INN ROOMS, ARDERISER ALMA HOTEL - AIRPORT HOTEL While Arderiser functioned primarily as a fishing village, the Jacobite Rising had an impact on its history. The Alma was built as a consequence of Fort George. It's suggested that the Hotel was constructed as a look-out post for the roads leading to Fort George, which was the ultimate defence against further Jacobite unrest. Now, the Alma Hotel is apart of a family run business with the Star Inn restaurant/pub. Fully refurbished in April 2017 with the additional of a self contained flat next door.

Neighborhood info

The village of Ardersier has two convenience stores, a pharmacy, a hairdresser, several organic food outlets and a church. There is a hourly bus service between Ardersier - Inverness and Ardersier - Elgin with the bus stop nearby.
