    This was exactly what I needed in an overnight stay in Dingwall. It was very warm, in the dead of winter. The room had what I needed including plenty of plugs for charging, and the breakfast the next morning was great. Moira, the host, was lovely.

    Unfortunately I chose a weekend when the host was not providing breakfast but the well fitted kitchen and dining room were available for guests to use and I was warned in advance. The parking in front of the house was very welcome as it was...

The Birches is a friendly family run B&B, which has the privacy of a hotel. Its close to public transport, the city centre, parks, restaurants/nightlife, swimming pool with gym facilities and classes. You’ll love my place because of the spacious rooms and the location. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.
