It was like home from home.

Margaret has been the kindest host we have ever encountered in all of our travels. We felt super welcomed, the breakfast was fantastic and the house is really cute and cosy. I strongly recommend it to anyone coming near Inverness!

It is not possible to close the room with a key so I would not recommend it to a paranoid person. Personally we felt very safe in Margaret’s house so this has not been an issue.

I'm a repeat user of Black Isles. Convenient location for accessing the area. Host is super friendly and helpful. Very quiet location and house. I'm very happy here.

Everything.

The breakfast that Margaret offered was exceptional . Freshly made pancakes that were delicious accompanied by home made jam & berries from her own garden , excellent coffee , and porridge that would be approved by any highlander ! A visual feast before your eyes greeted you at the breakfast table and combined with the wonderful warm hospitable Margaret as your host it made it a truly memorable experience. Margaret made us feel welcome at all times and we felt so comfortable in her home which she so graciously shared with us . The perfect place to stay if you want to experience proper highland hospitality combined with a great base for travelling and seeing the wonderful highlands . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Isle View and hope to return in the near future..

There was nothing we did not like.

The breakfast was awesome and also the conversation with the owner.

You could not choose a better place to stay. Margaret met me at the station and settled me in a gorgeous, comfortable room with a spectacular view. I went for an evening walk and discovered that within a few blocks of the front door there are two beautiful footpaths, one leading along a brook through a wood and one curving up along pastures of sheep to an old castle. I then learned these footpaths connect with others, one leading along to a lovely view across the Firth (and excellent bird watching) and another that either leads straight and level to Strathpeffer through fields and forests, or scrambles up the ridge of a lovely hill with a vitrified hill-fort at the top. I could go on and on. If you love hiking, quiet, or are seeking a holiday full of the beauty of the highlands but away from the touring crowds, this is your place. I know if I’d had a car there would have been even more to explore but this was perfect exactly as it was. I so appreciated the warm welcome, the friendliness, the delicious breakfasts, and the excellent conversation. Margaret and Seumus are skilled hosts and they thought of everything. (I also have to mention that I had the best fish and chips of my life at the Mallard, the pub near the railway station. And that if you travel in August, you may find as I did that the trails are bursting with blackberries and raspberries to snack on as you hike.)

I stayed at Black Isle View for two nights and it was the best accomodation I have had in Scotland so far. The rooms were very clean and comfortably furnished. One of the things I liked most was the incredible view from the window. The breakfast was delicious with warm pancakes, porridge, cereal and fruits. The host Margaret was very friendly and welcoming. I also enjoyed it really much to cuddle with the cat or play with the dogs. Thank you for the lovely time!

The house is in a nice and quiet area, very easy to find with the hosts' instructions. Margaret and Seumas were very welcoming and friendly, and I also appreciated their thoughtfulness. Their dogs were lovely. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable and had a beautiful view. The bathroom was just across the hall and clean too. Breakfast was delicious. I really enjoyed my stay at Black Isle View and I look forward to staying there again!

Very comfortable with great views

Quirky Kind Helpful Different but excellent breakfast Will stay again

I would have preferred ensuite ( its an age thing )

Fantastic hosts. They were just what I wanted. A friendly couple who sat and talked about Scotland, I could have stayed and talked to them all day. Very happy to go the extra mile for guests.

The best thing about Black Isle View was the couple who run it, Margaret and Seumas. They are so welcoming, friendly, helpful, kind and caring towards their guests. The day I got soaked in the rain, my wet clothes were soon taken to their boiler room, where they remained drying out for the next few days.

Location was a little far outside the town centre unless one had a car, although during the day time there was a bus available about 10 minutes' walk away. Buses to other destinations around Dingwall were also available from this stop. The occupants of the two single rooms need to share a bathroom. This is a large, spacious, spotlessly clean room with modern facilities, but sharing may not suit everyone.

Lovely breakfast - delicious homemade pancakes
