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.

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.
