Food and Drink Options

The on-site award-winning Grill Room serves up fresh, locally sourced meals – ideal for a pre- or post-show dinner. Breakfast is served daily, a lifesaver after a late night out. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the hotel lounge is a cozy spot for a drink or light bite. Several restaurants and pubs are also a short drive away in Inverness.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about serenity than scenes, you're only minutes from Inverness’s lively pubs and music bars. Enjoy a gig, then wind down back at the hotel’s relaxed lounge with a local whisky or coffee in hand.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the friendly staff, spacious rooms, and tranquil setting. Many highlight the hotel's easy access to Inverness and its beautiful grounds as standout features. The restaurant also gets glowing reviews for its quality and service.

Areas for Improvement

The rural feel is a plus for many, but keep in mind that you’ll need to drive or taxi into town for restaurants and venues. There's no on-site nightlife, so it's best for those looking to retreat after the show rather than keep the party going all night.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting peaceful comfort close to the action, Macdonald Drumossie Hotel is a top Highland pick.
