Paul is a great host
Excellent apartment.
Great location - on the beach (Walkable distance to Fort George).
Grocery store at 2 minute walk.
Loads of maps and information provided for holiday makers to plan their stay better.
The host, Paul personally came around and checked on us. Based on our requirements, he gave us some valuable suggestions that helped us get the best put of our stay in Ardersier

The owner, Paul and his wife were fantastic! Our train was delayed and stuck between stations due to lightening taking out the signals. Paul went to the store and left us milk in the fridge so we could have tea when we arrived. We also met us there later to show us how everything worked, took us behind the suires to show us where we could buy stuff as well as where to eat.

Dolphin Suites August 2022
Simply amazing place to stay with breath taking views across to the Black Isle. Quiet village location that has every amenity you would need, if not there is a Tesco superstore about 8 miles away in Inverness. Great base to chill and relax after a day off tourist activities. The owner Paul cannot do enough to help and is rightly proud of his property and what him and wife have achieved. Will definitely be back.

the suite has everything you need for a self catering holiday. Two bedroom with one double bed and two single beds. washing machine and tumble dryer combo enables reduced packing. kitchen open plan with oven, hob and micro wave. dishwasher reduces the workload. fridge freezer sufficient for three days. tv has access to freeview channels and Wi-Fi works though can be spotty due to the stone work. easy access to the beach. local area is culloden battlefield, local castles. whisky distilleries and loch ness

So Quiet
We were a bit late for our check in but the staff was more than accommodating, even recommending a local pub for supper. The rental was clean and the informational book in the living room was very helpful. The views out to the bay are phenomenal and the town was so quiet (we were there off-season).

Exploring the Scottish Highlands
We had a delightful stay at the Dolphin Bay Suites. Paul, the manager, met us and gave us a great overview of the facility and the various points of interest and history in the little town. He told us about numerous sights to see and places to hear good music. He also sent us to a local dairy where they make great cheese! Other than an interesting learning experience with Scottish washing machines everything was great. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Apartment with a wonderful view
Ardesier is a relatively tranquil village, with excellent access to beach and pathways. It also offers spectacular views of the Moray Firth and the Black Isle on the opposite side. Good pub & handy store in village

Relaxing stay
My parents and I stayed there last week. Place was great, self serving, roomy (my parents were pleasantly surprised), near a pebbled beach and lots of places to walk. Paul was a great host, he even drove us to town when we said we needed a cab. Nice place to really just unwind and unplug ;)
