we had a hard time trying to find the Inn, our GPS was confused! we called for directions and the gentleman there told us to "have faith in our satellite, if we don't mind travelling over a few hills, we would be fine" well the few hills were mountains and we saw alot of interesting wild life. when we arrived one man said to us "You must be the Canadians that went through those hills, you are braver than me, I wouldn't have done that" that made us feel sooooo good. the gentleman who gave me the directions was waiting for us and made us feel at home immediately, all the staff was wonderful. yes the room was dated, but we went there to experience the real Scotland, the inns and small historic hotels, not the big chain hotels. we were absolutely delighted with our accommodations, the food and the overall experience. we would definitely stay there again. we stayed 2 nights, making the Inn our base to explore the surrounding areas, Loch Ness, Inverness, and Culloden. i must say that our visit to Culloden was one of the highlights of our trip. we arrived close to closing time, which seemed to be the theme of our trip, since travelling in the UK takes longer than what our GPS led us to believe. at Culloden, the sun was starting to set, the fog was rolling in and there was a very surreal feeling to the place, what else could one expect though as it is a grave yard. we really got a sense of all the horror that happened there, all the bloodshed, it really had a great impact on us. back to the Old North Inn, stay there, its worth it.
