巴麗費瑞旅館(Ballifeary House)

Fraser nous accueille dans une splendide maison magnifiquement décorée . La maison est proche du centre ville, mais elle est très calme. On se gare dans la cour et on va visiter à pied. Fraser nous donne de bons conseils de visites et restaurants.

We stayed at The Ballifeary Guest House April 10-12, 2023. The reviews I read online were accurate as far as the beauty of Ballifeary Guest House, the attention to detail given by the owners and the wonderful food served. All of these areas lived up to my expectations. However, there was a feeling of precision and demand that came along with the attention to detail that was not enjoyable. Personally, I think of a Bed and Breakfast as a cozier kind of accommodation where you can meet with the other guests over breakfast to have conversation and the hosts are warm and friendly. It's always been the attraction of a B & B over staying in a hotel. The Ballifeary Guest House did not live up to that expectation. The host required that we sign up on a paper form for Breakfast. They offered meal slots in 20 minute increments. We thought that maybe this was designed to allow for more ease for the cook, but it had the effect of separating the guests from dining with one another. The host selected our table. When we came down 4 minutes into our time slot, our first course was already on the table. It felt like a military schedule and I didn't appreciate having to nail down my 20 minute time slot so precisely, since I might want to sleep in, or be more carefree, because I'm on freakin’ vacation! Our first breakfast was perfection, but, for our 2nd breakfast, the fruit compote was smaller and instead of a stack of 3 pancakes, we got 2 pancakes. When we asked for our 3rd pancake we were told we got our meal order in late. Again, the military comes to mind. Additionally, we had taken the owners suggestions of changing our day plans, which lead us into a very long and taxing day and we didn't get back in until 11pm. Nonetheless, we filled out the breakfast form and left it in the hallway that night. They had our breakfast request before the morning when the food was made, so why didn't they just make more pancake batter? Was it made the night before? Were we being punished because we didn't get our order in on time? It was ridiculous and a poor practice to wow someone on day one and then serve an inferior meal on day two. We only ever saw the Frasier, the owner, but not his partner, who we think was the cook. The other thing we really disliked was the ungenerous check-in and check-out policy– 4pm check in and 10am check out. If you stay for one night, you pay for an 18 hour room. We called it the “GTFO check-out policy” and after our long day, it was stressful to meet our breakfast time commitment and get the f--*k out in time. Our twin beds and the bed covers were narrow, so that when I rolled over, my blankets went with me. I spent several times during the night picking my bedding off of the floor. Frasier, the owner is known for being a font of information about the area, which is true, but we found that without asking for advice about our plans, he just launched into where we should go and what we should do. Kind of talked 'at' us rather than 'w

非常不錯的賓館，服務很好；房間很乾淨（但很小）。所有房間都在樓上，所以需要把行李搬上樓梯。另外，樓下沒有供應早餐的衛生間。業主“隨叫隨到”，但現在一進入酒店就可以隨時聯繫到——我相信他住在大樓的另一部分。但非常熱情好客，樂於助人——非常友好。

Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits dans ce B&B. Très bien situé pour rayonner dans la région et à proximité, à pieds d'Inverness. Très propre, confortable, le propriétaire est très serviable et gentil, parking pour la voiture, calme.

這是一家非常漂亮、維護良好的賓館。我的房間很舒服，雖然有點小。早餐非常好。您在前一天晚上選擇時間並訂購，當您到達時，您的桌子已經準備好了。我很高興菜單上有煎餅和漿果。步行一小段愉快的路程即可到達尼斯河和市中心，並欣賞城堡的美景。店主非常樂於提供指導。

Balllifeary 是一個美麗的家。弗雷澤是一位完美的紳士。他為我們提供了有關該地區遊覽景點的好主意。步行 5 - 8 分鐘即可到達城鎮的主要部分，他知道所有最好的地方以及需要預訂的地方。每天早上我們都會收到美味的早餐，這是我們從前一天晚上的菜單中選擇的。當我們選擇在用餐區時它已經準備好了。

Balllifeary 絕對精彩。房間很漂亮，食物很棒，弗雷澤是一位很棒的主人，他拯救了我們最後的旅行。我們計劃了一條返回愛丁堡的路線，但這條路線並不能真正展示高地，弗雷澤給了我們如何走的建議。他對因弗內斯的推薦也很準確。很高興我們住在這裡！

可愛又舒適的住宿地點。美味的早餐！弗雷澤（Fraser）是一個非常友善的人，總是樂於提供幫助。完全推薦這個地方。下次這裡將是我的住處。

What a beautiful house. Very warm welcome from Fraser. Very knowledgeable about the area, restaurants, pubs etc. the room we had (3) was excellent. Very spacious and very clean. Excellent bed, great 2 nights sleep. Bathroom also very clean and spacious. We didn't have a cooked breakfast but cereal/toast & coffee, at no charge. The guest house is ideally situated, round 1 corner from the walkway along the river I'd recommend the Ballifeary without any doubt. We will definitely return.
