Blackfriars – A Favorite for Families in Inverness

Blackfriars offers 10 individually designed rooms, including Deluxe Double Rooms, Superior Double Rooms, and a Deluxe Family Suite that splits into two separate spaces for parents and children. Each room features a private bathroom with a rainfall shower, complimentary welcome baskets with Scottish snacks, and a tea and coffee maker. Soundproofed rooms, pet bowls for dogs, and heating via space heaters are provided, though no elevator or air conditioning is available.

The on-site restaurant serves British and Scottish cuisine with a focus on local produce, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Breakfast includes a continental buffet and à la carte cooked dishes like the traditional full Scottish breakfast, while dinner features items such as slow-cooked pork belly and Cullen Skink. The bar hosts regular live music performances and serves a Sunday roast lunch, with a selection of wines and champagnes.

Blackfriars sits on Academy Street in Inverness' Old Town, a 5-minute walk from Inverness Railway Station and less than 1 km from Inverness Castle. Inverness Museum and Art Gallery is 600 metres away, and Loch Ness is a short drive from the hotel. The property is also close to Leakey's Bookshop, Macgregor's traditional music pub, and a public car park 5 minutes away.

Guests can enjoy live music performances in the bar, which runs regularly and often features local bands. The hotel provides information about walking tours, pub crawls, and bike tours around Inverness. For golf enthusiasts, a golf course is located nearby, and the hotel's central position makes day trips to Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness accessible.

Family rooms include interconnected options and a family suite with separate sleeping areas for children, along with kids' meals and special diet menus available in the restaurant. Pets are welcome, with pet bowls provided upon request and a designated area for dogs. The hotel's health and safety measures include CCTV, fire extinguishers, and 24-hour security, and a laundry service is two doors down.
