I should start by saying that the Lochardil House is roughly a 1 & 1/2 mile walk from the centre of Inverness. With the work that I was undertaking, depending on the time of day, I either used a taxi or walked, as the weather was exceptionally sunny and warm in the daytime!
The hotel itself is set in mature grounds in a leafy suburb (leafy to the extent that I encountered some deer crossing the road - so not at all 'built-up', as you might say!). The house is definitely a building with character and some history - and the rooms in the house itself (this is a more modern, detached annex) actually still use keys for their doors, which is a nice touch in this day and age. Inside, the room was spacious, as was the bathroom - with a sizeable corner bath and shower. Hotel service was efficient and accommodating - breakfasts were good also, and much enjoyed.
In conclusion - a really good choice if you're staying in Inverness, provided you don't mind being somewhat out of the town!
