Accommodations
All 13 rooms at Friars Bridge Guesthouse are newly renovated en suite with flat-screen TVs, carpeted floors, and fans. Private bathrooms come with complimentary toiletries and hairdryer, and select rooms include a seating area. Each room greets guests with a plate of homemade fudge upon arrival.
Location & Surroundings
The guesthouse sits in a quiet residential area 500 meters from Inverness city centre and 800 meters from Inverness Castle. The Caledonian Canal is a 10-minute walk away, and Inverness Train Station is 15 minutes on foot. Free street parking is available with a permit provided by the host, and an Aldi supermarket is directly across the street.
Amenities & Services
Secure bicycle storage is offered on-site for cycling enthusiasts, and must be requested in advance with an approximate arrival time. The property features a garden with outdoor furniture and a sun terrace, plus luggage storage for day trips or explorations to the Orkney Islands. An adults-only policy creates a tranquil atmosphere throughout the guesthouse.
Dining
An optional continental breakfast (£8) is served at the host's kitchen table and includes homemade cake, local fruit, yoghurt, granola, buttered toast, croissant, orange juice, and tea or coffee. The host cannot accommodate special dietary needs but often packs extra items for guests to enjoy later. Homemade banana cake and fudge are also offered during breakfast.
Guest Experience
Host Lynda contacts guests before arrival to offer dinner reservations at popular local restaurants that fill up quickly. She provides printed recommendations for eateries, pubs, walks, and attractions, and can arrange taxis for connections and tours. Luggage storage is available for multi-day trips, and the host supplies parking permits for free street parking.
