Trafford Bank Guest House

'Lorraine Freel and Koshal Pun have taken a former bishop's house and turned it into a superb B&B,' say regular Guide readers. 'The best accommodation we have found in Inverness.' In mature gardens, the house is a short walk from the centre. Ms Freel, an interior designer, has furnished it with a mix of antiques and contemporary furniture (some of which she designed herself). Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Most of the 'luxurious' bedrooms are large. All have a hospitality tray, decanter of sherry, silent fridge, flat-screen television. The Floral suite has a large, modern half-tester bed; a roll-top bath. The Trafford suite has a king-size bed and a day bed. The Green room is suitable for a small family. Breakfast, ordered the evening before, 'hits the right buttons; excellent choices, served piping hot'. (Michael and Maureen Heath)
