About
The Gatehouse B&B
The Gatehouse B&B occupies a modest Victorian building on Old Edinburgh Road, a short walk from Inverness's Victorian Market and the town centre. With just six rooms, it feels more like a private guesthouse than a hotel, and the owners are frequently mentioned for their warm, attentive service.
Breakfast is the stand-out moment: cooked to order, with cereals, fresh fruit, and a full Scottish spread – several guests called it sensational. Rooms are modern and spotless, with private bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs. Free parking is available on site, which is a practical plus in a city where spaces can be tight.
