We loved our stay at Black Friars! The room was spacious and very comfortable. We were able to store our luggage the day of arrival and departure which was super helpful to allow us to explore Inverness. We enjoyed conversing with the proprietor and learning about Scotch. We also enjoyed a couple of meals at the tavern.
