Exactly where is Invermoriston? Invermoriston is situated in the Great Glen, on the banks of Loch Ness, 40 miles from Fort William and 25 miles from Inverness, where the road to Skye leaves the A82. It is well situated for exploring the Highlands easy access to spectacular Highland scenery as well as tourist attractions. See the area information page for more about what to do and see. |

What kind of weather can I expect? Impossible to answer. The Highlands can produce all kinds of weather conditions, sometimes in one day. What you can be sure of is the whatever the weather, the scenery has an ever changing character that you will always remember. Don't discount spring and autumn; late September and October can be especially striking with the autumnal colours and morning mists. Contrary to popular myth, it doesn't always rain in the Highlands and the weather is often very local so that within a 10 mile drive you might find sunshine even if you left rain behind. |

Why are there two breakfast option for B&B guests? Although the studios have kitchens and are equipped for self catering use, we recognise that some guests, such as walkers on the Great Glen Way, don't want to cater for themselves, particularly for 1 night only, so we offer a B&B service inclusive of breakfast. But we also know that some guests like the flexibility of their own self contained space without the constraint of a dining room timetable. So we decided to offer our "Breakfast Basket" with all that is needed to prepare your own breakfast when you want it. See the B&B page for details. This means you can leave early if you want, or even eat it the night before. But for those guests who want us to do the work we offer a traditional B&B breakfast in the dining room in our house. The choice is yours. |

As a B&B guest, can I use the kitchen to cook an evening meal? Bed and Breakfast guests are welcome to use the kitchen facilities including toaster and microwave at no extra charge. Full use of kitchen including hob and oven by B&B guests is subject to an additional charge of £5 per night. We do ask that kitchens are left clean and tidy, as on arrival. |
|
|
Are there any charges in addition to the rental? All electricity and heating is included. Self Catering guests may order breakfast at any time at £5 each. We charge £2 per load for use of washing machine or tumble dryer. A £5 per night charge applies to B&B guests who have full kitchen facilities including use of hob and oven. |
