The Spotlight on By the Brae

Tranquil Comfort Just Outside the Inverness Buzz

By the Brae is a charming, peaceful bed and breakfast tucked away in the quiet Westhill neighborhood of Inverness. Just 4 miles from the city center, this cozy B&B offers a restful retreat after a night of music, while still being close enough to reach top concert venues with ease. With its lovely garden, shared lounge, and warm Highland hospitality, it's a homey base for music lovers looking to unwind.

Why Concert-goers love it

Though not in the immediate city center, By the Brae is just a short drive or taxi ride away from Inverness’s main music spots. Guests love the peaceful setting after a loud night out, and the flexible check-in from 16:00 makes it easy to arrive at your own pace. If you're catching an early flight or a late show, the location is also convenient—just 7.5 miles from Inverness Airport.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a cozy, shared space to relax
- Solo travelers attending a special gig or highland festival
- Couples planning a romantic, music-filled weekend
- Fans needing a quiet recovery space after a loud night
- Budget-conscious music lovers who value comfort over frills

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning right with a hearty full Scottish breakfast—perfect after a late night out. While there's no on-site restaurant for late dining, Inverness city center offers plenty of walkable eateries and pubs just a short ride away. The hosts are also happy to recommend local spots for dinner before or after your show.

Nightlife Options

While By the Brae itself is in a quiet residential area, the city center—just 4 miles away—offers lively bars, pubs, and live music venues. It’s easy to head out for a night of entertainment and retreat back to peace and quiet when you're ready to crash.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spotless rooms, super comfy beds, and warm, friendly hosts. The B&B's peaceful location is a big hit with travelers looking to avoid noisy hotel hallways, and many appreciate the thoughtful touches like luxury bathrobes, toiletries, and garden views.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the place for 24-hour room service or a buzzing lobby bar. It’s a quiet, restful stay—so if you're after a party atmosphere, you might want to look closer to the center.

The Bottom Line

By the Brae is the perfect Inverness hideaway for concert-goers who want comfort, quiet, and Highland hospitality after a night of live music.

Superb

Liked: The place is very easily reachable, it's very near to the main road. There is space for parking. The hosts Jenny and Richard were extremely helpful and attended to all our queries. Rooms although small are very comfortable, the heating is very good, unlike other places where the heating makes the room a sauna. The shower works extremely well, great for a refreshing bath. Would recommend this place to all in future.

Highly recommend By the Brae

Liked: We like that we had extra space in the use of the living room in addition to our bedroom/bath.Appreciated that the rooms had a make up mirror and we were lent two luggage racks.Breakfast were lovely and delicious, with fresh cut flowers on the table. We enjoyed talking to the other guests there.Very clean, contemporary and uncluttered.Loved being outside city center, seeing the sunset over the water, hearing the birds and even saw a rainbow.The outside space looked lovely though we never took time to make use of it.Hands-down, Jenny and Richard were outstanding hosts and a wealth of information.Just genuinely interesting people to talk to.
