Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Anderson, set just outside Inverness, seems to be full of character, offering an eccentric and warm atmosphere. The pub is a highlight for many, featuring a superb selection of beers and whisky, while the food, especially the American BBQ style, is often praised. Some guests have mentioned that the building's maintenance could be improved, but the hotel's location is ideal for exploring Fortrose, with a bus stop right outside for easy access to Inverness and proximity to the dolphin watching site.
