Our host, Janey, made us feel very welcome from the moment of our arrival. Our en-suite room was delightful- spacious, cozy, comfortable and spotlessly clean- with an amazing view.

Hospitality was great! The room was very clean and nice with a beautiful view. Every morning we were spoiled with an extensive breakfast.

Nice location to see the area around Inverness and also close to the cosy city of Inverness. A golden tip from Janey was to go to Cromarty to travel further with the Ferry.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th August 2019:

We visited Scotland for 2 weeks. The trip had a rough start with our luggage lost, our name mysteriously appearing on a "Do Not Rent" list at the rental car place, and our ferry off of the Isle of Mull breaking down. However, all this bad luck was negated by our good luck in getting a room at the last minute (she had just reopened after a horrendous plumbing problem) at this incredible B&B. The cottage is beautiful on the outside and perfection on the inside. Our room faced the water with double doors and a Juliette balcony. The view was amazing! The bed was the most comfortable of our entire trip and the room was more than quiet, it was silent. We slept our best nights here! Top this all off with the sweetest, friendliest of hostesses, Janey, and her sidekick wonderdog, Monty. My husband doesn't particularly like dogs, but Monty even won him over. He actually stopped at the door on our last day and called him over for a solid goodbye pet. I almost fainted! The breakfast was better than most restaurants with our order being taken each night for the next morn. One day we even had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Seriously! I'm a clean freak, and the Beach Cottage met my exacting standards. Janey's advice on where and when to see dolphins was spot-on. We were able to spend over an hour watching them feed and frolic off shore. All in all, our 2-night stay at Beach Cottage was perfection!!!

We had dinner at Prime in Inverness, and it was very good. Visit Black Isle Brewery for the sweetest tour and some great beer. Be sure to note the unique wall art inside the brewery.

Would Recommend: Yes

Dear Karen, it was a real pleasure to have you both stay with us at Beach cottage. Monty loved all the attention! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back some day. Kindest regards Janey

12th October 2018:

Janey welcomed us to Beach Cottage B&B with a warm smile after our long journey. We felt right at home with her hospitality. She prepared a takeaway breakfast for us the following morning as we had to travel early. It had everything we needed such as condiments, a thermos full of hot coffee, even hard boiled eggs. We really enjoyed our 3 other breakfasts, with eggs prepared how we liked. The room was cozy with a view of the Moray Firth. We had a very pleasant stay and would come back if we travel this way again

We visited nearby Fort George and really enjoyed it.

I do not think you would find a more engaging host than Janey. The house was immaculate, sitting alongside the sea, so views were so impressive. Food was very good and superbly presented, even the gales did not dampen our experience.

Fort George and Culloden nearby are a must. As for evening meals, we drove up to Cawdor Tavern who have a good varied menu and excellent selection of beers, in a friendly atmosphere.

We had a fantastic stay of 4 nights at the Beach Cottage B&B. Janet and Monty (of course) are realy wonderful and friendly hosts. Everything was nice, clean and every detail was made with love. The view out of the room was awesome and the personal made breakfast delicious. Janeys Cottage was our first B&B on our trip, and she set the bar very high. At the end, no other B&B was able to reach it. Thank you Janey (and Monty ;-) )!

Janey gave us good tips. We loved Glen Affric. And to see the salmons jump at the Falls of Shin was an great experience

We drove up the Moray coast. Absolutely beautiful.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd July 2018:

Awesome location set way off the main drag and situated right on the water. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent. Will highly recommend. My only complaint was the tight stairwell. Dragging luggage up it is a little challenging.

Staying at the Beach Cottage sets you in a perfect location to see the Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns, and halfway between the airport and the main city of Inverness. I recommend eating at the Cheese Pantry just up the road as well for lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

We have sunshine for the whole time an have start there our trip for the north west coast tour. It was wonderful. Thank you janey for your hospitality and now you know how to play "Kniffel":-)

Its good to stay there with a own car, because the B+B is in the bay and not in the city. The indian restaurant was a good tip and we drive to Findhorn and see seals, which play in the sea. Nice and wonderful.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure having you here and good fun playing Kniffel. I don’t think I’ll be entering into any competitions just yet though!

Would Recommend: Yes

17th April 2018:

An amazing B&B in the most perfect location. We stayed for two nights (wasn’t enough in my opinion) and everything was just fantastic. The owner is the sweetest person and very thoughtful about every single one of her guests, the rooms were extremely clean and offered more than we could have asked. The breakfast was amazing and this comes from a foodie so i don’t say this lightly! Last but not least we loved Monty the happiest dog on earth with the most beautiful eyes. We would love to visit again! Highly recommended

Would Recommend: Yes

14th October 2017:

We have traveled across Europe staying at a variety of B&B, hotels (Hilton), and Beach Cottage was our favourite over the course of these 7 weeks. Gail did an amazing job ensuring our breakfast was made to order. Both Janey & Gail worked efficiently to ensure our stay met our expectations. I felt as though I've known them for a long time. We weren't just treated as a guest, we felt like family.

Definitely visit Urqhart Castle. Looking for a sweater made in Scotland? check out Johnstons at Elgin. They have a mill on site and you don't HAVE to spend a lot for a good sweater. We didn't have time for a tour of the mill but found the sweaters we were looking for.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fantastic host, location and room. Will definitely go back. Very friendly and lovely hostess. Breakfast is divine and views from the bed/bedroom just bequtiful, peaceful and quiet! Thank you!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

7th October 2017:

Stunning location by the Firth. Peaceful and private in a seemingly remote location but is only 15 min from central Inverness. B & B cottage has two rooms available. We stayed in Beauly & the view from our bay window was superb. The low ceiling in shower was no problem! Our host Janey was very friendly & made us feel most welcome. Our only regret is we didn't stay longer! A nice place to chill out.

Very close to Culloden Battlefield. Afterwards make sure to visit the Clava Cairns & the nearby viaduct. Urquhart Castle & Loch Ness are on the other side of Inverness. Between B&B and Inverness there is a shopping centre with Tesco, fuel & cafes.

Would Recommend: Yes

The Beach Cottage BnB is one of my now favourite BnBs. The location and the views from the Moray room are absolutely stunning. I wished I could have stayed longer and just sit and watch put on the water. Janey is a great host, making you welcome and Gill makes the best Porridge!

Nairn east beach is close by and Culloden. Both worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd October 2017:

We stayed in the Beauly room that was very comfortable with a sitting area to view the Moray Firth. The entire property was impeccably clean, warm and inviting - this is a lovely place to stay and relax. The view is simply gorgeous. Janey was a warm and welcoming host and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast is served in the dining room, and was substantial and of excellent quality - simply delicious. Very conveniently located near the airport, the city and other local attractions. Would highly recommend and would stay here again next time we visit Inverness. We have placed a favourable review on Tripadvisor.

Enjoy the beautiful view. Culloden Battlefields. Fort George. Nairn. Beauty and the Muir of Old. Inverness Castle. Number 27 Restaurant in Inverness.

24th July 2017:

We had a wonderful stay at the Beach Cottage. We rented both rooms (there were four of us) and both rooms were terrific. One had better views of the water but it should be evident which one in the pictures. Wonderful place to stay. Breakfast was amazing too. Both Janey and Gail were terrific. We had such a lovely time and will definitely return if/when we return to Scotland.

We loved Janey's recommendation of The Cawdor Tavern for dinner. It was amazing and the village of Cawdor is so nice. Of course, Culloden Battlefield and Clava Cairns are a must. We wished we had checked out the area around Nairn but ran out of time.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2017:

This is a lovely stay! Our room had doors that opened so we could see and hear the water! Peaceful place but easy access to roads and Inverness by car. The hostess, Jeanne, is delightful.

Janey is a wonderful hostess and made us most welcome. The B&B is well placed for visiting local attractions.

The Culloden Moor inn serves great food and plenty of it at a reasonable price and is only about a 10 minute drive away. Cawdor Castle does not open until May though!

Would Recommend: Yes

20th April 2017:

It was just a perfect stay! Thank you very much Janey (and Gaile)! The house and the surroundings are beautiful, breakfast is just excellent and we had great fun, chatting and laughing together.

Don't go to 'The Mustard Seed' Restaurant! Service is poor, food and wines nothing special and even tough we had a reservation the offered table was bad. Try instead the 'River House' Restaurant - but you definitely need a reservation and you must be fond of fish and seafood. And listen to Janey's recommendations.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th April 2017:

This B&B is located a short drive from Inverness but is a world apart. The setting is romantic, beautiful, relaxing and simply the best place to stay. We stayed for two nights and will return. The breakfasts were deliciously prepared with several cold and hot options. The owner is delightful and very helpful with recommendations and made reservations for us for the Loch Ness Boat tour and. The restaurants/pubs she recommended were excellent choices. If you want to stay in a most unique place with beautiful views and sunsets outside your window, then this is the place to stay.

Take a boat tour on the Loch Ness, Timotin Whisky Distillery, and any recommendations for dinner that is recommended are excellent. There is much to do and see in the area.

Janey has great recommendations for places to eat. The Cawdor Tavern was very good. The woolens shop at Cawdor Castle is worth a visit, as are the Castle itself and the grounds. Their nine hole golf course is fun for a diversion. The Culloden Battlefield is very well interpreted through the audio guide and the visitor center.

9th September 2016:

Considering Janey had only just bought Beach cottage 4 nights before we arrived she did remarkably well. She is a lovely person and the breakfasts were amazing. So much choice. She couldn't do enough for us. The room was very quaint but had everything you needed and super clean. She was always doing something whenever you came back. Good luck and well done.

Plenty of choice in Inverness especially alongside the river which is a short ride. There is also an adequate pub next to the retail park which had a large supermarket, cinema etc about 5 mins ride away.

Would Recommend: Yes

Dear Mary & Phil, Thank you so much for taking the time to post your very kind review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Beach Cottage it was a real pleasure to have you stay. I hope you have the occasion to visit again in the future. Kind regards Janey

21st August 2016:

A lovely B & B situated in a stunning part of Inverness. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left nothing was too much trouble. Our Host Brad was attentive, always willing to advise us on local amenities that he thought we might like. He keeps the B & B immaculate and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The room was exactly as pictured on the website, clean and very comfortable. The views are just breath taking and we would definitely love to return in the future. Thank you Brad and Branston for such a fabulous trip I hope the new owners are as great as you.

Cawdor Tavern served lovely food, the fresh fruit pavlova was amazing!!! Chanonary Point - This was approximately 30 minute drive from the B & B. Parking can be an issue so arrive early but it is worth visiting as Dolphins swim through here daily. This was the highlight of our visit as they come so close to the shore. Will definitely be back in the future.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th August 2016:

A great place to your feet up for a couple days, close enough to many attractions. The owner referred me to Ness Tours for an escorted tour of a number of distilleries - high recommended.

Beach Cottage B&B is the best accommodation we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The views out to the Moray Firth and the Black Isle are breathtaking, and the warmth of the host Brad and his gorgeous Dog Branston is something we found very hard to leave when our holiday came to an end. We will 100% be coming back to Inverness to stay at the Beach Cottage again! 10/10!

What a great place to stay. Only problem was that we couldn't be there for longer. Brad runs a wonderful and comfortable B&B. The breakfast was the best we had on our tour of Scotland. The view is stunning. Branston is a great little guy who likes a fun pretend scrap and was at the bottom of the stairs to greet us in the morning. Thanks Brad. We will be back as soon as we can.

10th October 2015:

Perfect location for both airport convenience and a vacation, with easy access to both the city center and surrounding countryside. Right on the water, with a view from the bed was wonderful. Our host was incredibly helpful and friendly and the breakfast is outstanding. One of the most comfortable beds on our vacation!

Dinner at the Cawdor Tavern at Cawdor Castle was wonderful, the rack of lamb special in particular and a perfect atmosphere for our last night in Scotland. The Culloden Battefield is very close and well worth a visit, and a nice walk.

Would Recommend: Yes

Well done on achieving such high standards. Beach Cottage B&B suited my needs perfectly. I would have no hesitation in returning.

Your host will provide all the info you need to know about the local areas including places to find good food. The location is fairly isolated but fantastic if your intention is to get away from from built up areas; and therefore having your own transport is a basic requirement. Otherwise a taxi to Inverness will set you back in the region of £20 (one way). The standard of the accommodation is excellent, the location for me was perfect.

Would Recommend: Yes

Beach Cottage is a wonderful place to stay! It is right on the edge of the Moray Firth with stunning views of The Black Isle - very peaceful and great views, yet only a short drive to Inverness. The room we stayed in was very comfortable and everything we needed was there. Brad is a great host - super breakfasts - nothing is too much trouble. It is one of the best B&Bs we have ever stayed in.

Culloden is a few miles away - a great half-day trip. Good shops in Inverness if you are after Scottish gifts and souvenirs. The Cawdor Tavern serves excellent food and drinks - about 20 minutes easy drive away. There are lots of good restaurants in Inverness and Brad is happy to make suggestions.

Would Recommend: Yes

Genuine, friendly yet professional, well-organised and good attention to detail. Overall had a very enjoyable stay, thanks Brad!

Cawdor Tavern as recommended by Brad was a beauty - friendly, good quality and a wonderful sense of history. Cawdor Castle is well worth a look too - a wonderful mix of original features and modern living adaptations, with a very good cafe attached, and stunning gardens.

Would Recommend: Yes

Bradley and Branston the border terrier keep a very clean place (seriously, not a speck of dust, dirt, or dog hair anywhere) and the breakfast was very tasty! The location is peaceful and serene, right on the water (lovely sunset!), yet very conveniently located to Inverness, Culloden Battlefield, and Tesco. We would definitely consider staying here again.

A visit to the Cawdor Inn restaurant for dinner is a must.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2015:

A lovely, quiet space, with outstanding views of the Firth. Brad was an awesome host and a lot of fun. Great breakfast and VERY clean!

Be sure to go see the Cawdor castle. We didn't know about it, and didn't see it, but heard great things. The Cawdor Tavern was great!

Bradley has a lovely B&B and he does a splendid job with breakfast and adds wonderful little extras both in the room and at the breakfast table. Well done, Brad!

Brad suggested a couple of restaurants...we tried Cawdor Tavern on our last night - delicious food, friendly service. We wished we would have tried it on our first night as we all agreed we would have gone back. No visit to Inverness would be complete without a cruise on Loch Ness...we used Jacobite, and had a lovely time.

Everything was excellent and perfect for a nice quiet place to stay while using Inverness as a base to explore the Highlands. No complaints and would stay again.

Go to Culloden and take a flight with the Highland Aviation School and would recommend Hoots and the Mustard Seed but don't bother with Victorian Market.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th June 2015:

Situated a few minutes outside of Inverness on a quiet, lovely stretch of beach. The views of the Moray Firth and the Black Isle are beautiful. Brad was very warm and friendly, with lots of good advice about things to do and places to eat. The rooms were immaculate, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable,

We had two very good dinners, one at the Cawdor Tavern next door to the Cawdor Castle and one at the Mustard Seed in Inverness itself. We would recommend both. We would recommend a boat ride on Loch Ness to Urquart Castle. Also, drive around the entire lake and stop for some walks. The scenery is beautiful.

We couldn't fault our stay, very friendly, helpful and welcoming from both the owner, Branston and the locals! amazing location and we miss it already. Breakfast was very good and plenty of choice. The room and facilities was perfect and made us feel confident , relaxed and at home . This weekend away was just what we needed !

We traveled up to the cairngorm mountains which was ace ! the only thing I would recommend is that you always have a full tank of fuel as it's easy to drive miles without noticing! We loved eating at giraffe which is the restaurant near the big tesco's but would also recommend collundon moor inn. Unfortunately it was too busy but also try and hire some bikes to ride around loch morlich , what a beautiful place ! We visited twice Just to take in the views

We had a fantastic stay with Brad at Beach cottage. Perfect location, fantastic host and couldnt have felt more welcome. Even Branston the dog was playful and fun! Room was exceptionally clean and breakfast was in abundance! Brad gave some great recommendations on places to visit so we made the most of a short stay in the area. Overall great visit in a beautiful location.

The Dorres Inn on the outskirts of Loch Ness serves great food right beside the water. You can also visit the 'Nessie Hunter' here and pick up some handmade goodies!

A very warm and hospitable welcome throughout our stay. The B&B was very comfortable, warm and cosy for our new year break. The views from the cottage from all rooms were spectacular. Breakfast was great, great quality and plenty of options. We hope to visit again in the future.

A great base for exploring the highlands, Inverness, Aviemore & the Cairngorms all easily accessible by car as well as lots of old traditional Scottish hamlets. Discovered Cullen Skink a traditional Scottish smoked haddock, potato, leek and cream soup!! Some great places to eat in inverness, but will need to drive there or get a taxi.
