Highland Wildlife Park is 13 km from Ardlogie Guest House, while Landmark Forest Adventure Park is 13 km away. Inverness Airport is 60 km from the property. It was by chance I stumbled upon the Guest House. I had booked somewhere else and realised my horror that it was owned by Britannia. I'll say no more on that. I promptly cancelled and found this gem. Kirsty was an amazing host and her enthusiasm shines through in everything she does. The setting is gorgeous. We spent a fair amount of time watching the spa drama that was the ducks and chickens wandering around. Breakfast is delicious and the fact they use their own eggs... We were both happy travellers. Rooms were so cosy, with plenty of thought put in to it including DVDs... Honestly I will be back plenty more when I can. Thank you for making our trip away great.
