Talisker

Beautiful rooms overlooking the Ness River a short walk from good shopping and dining options. The hosts were very helpful from the moment I arrived.

The pathway from the parking area to the back and side of the house is poorly lit. The pathway is not wide enough for this. I stepped too close to the edge of the pathway and my foot slipped off it into the gravel beside it causing my ankle to roll and break. I was six days into an 18 day trip. It's basically ruined the rest of my time in Scotland.

This is an outstanding location! So close to city centre and right on the very walkable river bank. Lovely room and filling breakfast served by very kind proprietor.

The Talisker was so quaint and old fashioned. The service was impeccable and the breakfast was very filling. Walking distance to downtown.

Lovely building in a great location overlooking the river. Clean and comfortable but the room was a little cramped with its sloping roof.

Lovely property. I found the room chilly and a little difficult to get it warm, the host very kindly supplied a space heater

Location and hosts were excellent but ... everything else was pretty disappointing and we can't understand how previous reviews have scored Talisker so highly. Great location right on the river and an easy stroll to local sights, bars, entertainment, shops, etc. The proprietors were very friendly and accommodating. Walking into our bedroom was like revisiting your granny's unused back bedroom in the 1970's. The room was small, the bathroom was tiny, and the furnishings and decor were a slightly bizarre mix of dated and completely unrelated oddments. However, we hadn't come to Inverness for its interior design, so that wasn't an immediate cause for concern but it all fed in to to a slight question mark about the general level of care and cleanliness. This came to a head at breakfast the next morning when we could see the cloth on the buffet table had stains and mildew from spillage under the fruit juice jugs which must have been there for some time to have reached that state. Then we discovered there was mould on our toast, but when we discreetly brought this to the attention of the host, this was dismissed as not mould, but seeds / grains in the bread! It tasted like mould and looked like mould - it was definitely mould! We were made to feel that we were making it up, but we were trying not to make a fuss and to ensure that they were aware of the problem and didn't serve it to others. Unfortunately, the positive aspects of Talisker were eclipsed by the negatives.

Very nice and friendly host

The service was excellent and had great choices at the continental breakfast. Super fast and easy check-in and the owner was easy to reach and to respond. The room was clean and had all the amenities. The property is well situated with ease of walking everywhere downtown Inverness for local attractions and shopping. We would definitely go back.

Overall stay was exactly what we needed. Our room had a lovely view out onto the river, it was in a great location and free parking provided (albeit quite a tight driveway to get onto) which is round the back of the b&b. The rooms were quite dated and some areas could have done with more cleaning as thick layers of dust were on the lights which hung over the bed and there were a few black hairs in the shower. The bedsheets and towels were clean. Average continental breakfast but host was lovely and made sure that tea/coffee and toast was topped up.

We enjoyed our stay

Talisker was in a great location by the river. The room was nice and pretty comfortable and the owner/staff were very pleasant. My only issue was with the shower! it was impossible to regulate the temperature!

Very nice property and staff

Everything was as expected. Parking is at the back of the B&B. I would return here.

Very nice staff

Delightful 200 year old house with the charm and quirks one could expect from such. Very convenient to downtown and the castle.

Property maybe needs some improvements. However, the lady who assisted is a wonderful host, kudos for her.

Lovely old house, with appropriate decor and furnishings. Wonderful river view. Friendly helpfull staff on arrival and at breakfast. Private parking ideal for us with a dog sleeping in the car. Bathroom facilities a little bit dated.

The best value B&B I've found in Inverness. Clean, comfortable and a nice welcoming host. Every other place was asking ridiculous money and Talisker offered a good old fashioned B&B. The noise from the toilet is a bit loud and I was worried about waking the other guests but overall the room was just what was required.

A pleasant B&B at a superb location on bank of river Ness a 5 min walk into centre but at a peaceful location. Only comment would be quality of breakfast it was certainly budget croissants and choice of three basic cereals but as it is “free” it is just an added bonus really so not marking down on this.
