Gill, the host, was very welcoming, chatty, and informative about the history of the house. It is obvious that she takes great pride in its presentation as it was spotlessly clean with tasteful period decor. It was easy to relax here and was very quiet. There is good access to the Northern Highlands. Also, the breakfast was excellent with a wide choice and there was ample car parking.

Carnaby Lodge is a town house in the county town of Dingwall full of character with unique oak panelling in the hallway and many rooms of the house the antique furnishing and beautiful pictures all make Carnaby Lodge a very special place to stay in a peaceful relaxed atmosphere. In the sitting room there are many books to browse and enjoy, the bedrooms and en suite bathrooms are luxurious having just been newly designed since we came to live here just over two years ago, we welcomed guests here for the first time at the beginning of September 2021, for us we felt the safest time to begin our new venture in this lovely house due to the pandemic. The dining room with oak panelled walls and antique furnishings is where breakfast can be enjoyed by our guests. We offer a wide variety of options for our guests to enjoy, locally sourced and freshly cooked dishes are served each morning.
We just love welcoming guests to share our home and have spent many happy years offering Bed breakfast to people from all over the world moving here from Waters Edge in Fortrose. We truly enjoy what we do and put our heart and soul into giving our guests generous hospitality and the warmest of welcomes, offering a welcome drink and Scottish shortbread on their arrival. Attention to detail is very important to us , we always offer our guests the very best we can to make their stay with us memorable and special.

Lovely walks can be enjoyed along the shore and the canal that runs into the sea from the town, the relaxing, easy walk is beautiful with many birds to see along the way. The museum is of great interest very well done with interesting exhibits. On the high street there are many shops restaurants and coffee shops one of the best shops is a quality antique shop well worth a browse.
