Charming, Cozy, and Convenient
Aye Stay was just a short walk from the city center. The rooms were beautifully updated without losing any charm. It was chock full of character highlighting the Highlands and Scottish character. They offer pre-ordered breakfast for guests in the morning, which was a perfect start to our day.

Aye Stay is in a quiet, residential area of Inverness, while being easily walkable into town for restaurants and to catch the train. The room was so comfortable and the breakfast each morning was fantastic.

Lovely stay!!
We recently stayed and had a great stay, room was lovely, clean with great facilities and only a 10 minute walk to the centre or Inverness.
We were 4 friends and booked the family room we all felt the beds were very comfy and the breakfast was lovely. The staff that were serving breakfast were lovely, helpful and very friendly.
