About Blackfriars

Academy Street sits right in the heart of Inverness, and Blackfriars occupies a spot on this central thoroughfare just a short walk from the city itself. From here the surrounding Highlands open up quickly, with Culloden Battlefield among the nearby points of interest for those wanting to venture beyond the city streets.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, family options for those travelling with children, and drinks available in-room, with free WiFi throughout. Breakfast is served on site, and the hotel's own restaurant and bar cover meals and drinks without needing to go far, with kids' meals also catered for. Reception operates around the clock, and pets are welcome.

Beyond the hotel, the area offers walking and cycling routes, golf, fishing and horse riding nearby, along with a choice of pubs, bars and restaurants close by for evenings out. It's a practical base for exploring both Inverness itself and the wider Highlands landscape around it.

Stayed at the hotel upstairs & popped down for dinner after a long day of traveling and I was blown away — best meal I’ve had since I’ve arrived in Scotland. The steak & ale stew was INCREDIBLE, the soup of the day (cauliflower & parm) was delish, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert was the perfect touch. My brother also really enjoyed the fish & chips. The drinks were also delightful. The service was great, everyone was super friendly & attentive. I also loved the live music! 10/10

Amazing food and lovely vibe!! It feels very cozy inside and the staff are super kind and attentive. I ordered the pork belly and it was great! Loved the onion rings as well.

We stopped here for an early dinner and really enjoyed the atmosphere of the pub. They had a roast beef special that came with 5 sides for 18.95, so we both tried it. The yorkshire pudding was very good, and the carrots were good. However, the roast beef was fine, but my grandson had some tougher pieces. Overall the service and ambiance were very good and for the price we paid the food was good.
