About this property

Welcome to Muir Bank

Located at Muir Bank Crossroads in the tranquil village of Muir of Ord, this 4.5-star hotel offers a quiet base just a short drive from Inverness. The property is set within a renovated former bank building, providing a distinctive and functional setting for visitors exploring the Scottish Highlands. It appeals to independent travelers seeking self-catering accommodations with practical conveniences such as en-suite rooms equipped with tea-making facilities, microwaves, and televisions.

Guests benefit from a range of amenities including free Wi-Fi, free parking, and accessible facilities. The property operates a self check-in system with remote management, which some reviews note as convenient, though a few mention minor issues such as noise from the nearby main road and a somewhat challenging entrance door. Pet-friendly and smoke-free policies add to the practical considerations for travelers.

While on-site dining and fitness amenities are not available at Muir Bank, visitors can enjoy a communal lounge with comfortable seating, a fridge, and shared laundry facilities.

I have stayed here frequently, after being one of the first people to stay when it opened. Easy booking, well appointed, clean, en-suite rooms, with tea making facilities, microwave & TV. The beds are comfortable. In addition, there is a communal lounge, with fridge. In the reception area there is a washing machine and tumble dryer. Perfect for the independant traveller. Although the hosts are not on site (all booking, entrance keys & such is remotely organised) they are avaliable via telephone if needed. The location is perfect for a one night stop, or as a base for exploring the area. Personally I prefer being out of the centre of Inverness, and Muir Bank is only a short drive away Competitivly priced for the quality and facilities. Note. This is accommodation only, not a B&B. It works for me.

This converted former Bank house is a great value for money self catering facility. The standards of comfort, equipment and furnishings are high and location is convenient. We found the proximity to a main route a little noisy and our only other complaint was a slightly tricky to operate entrance door. We loved the “hidden bedroom” behind the bank safe door.

We stayed in the hotel from 6/7 to 9/7. The room and the hotel was extremely clean. The bed and the shower was very good, perfect after a long day discovering the region. We met Monica (sorry if I misspelled) and she was always very friendly and helpful - thank you Monica :)

Can't fault this place at all. We paid for a family room and expected a room... we got a mini apartment! A twin room, a double room, and a shower room, all self contained! This hotel is clearly quite new, and everything is in lovely clean condition. I hope the owners keep on top of it and people staying look after it, as we would definitely stop over here again when next in the area. The bed was wonderfully comfy, we loved the side tables, there was a microwave and the usual tea/coffee etc, along with plates, bowls and cutlery. A really great set up. The self check in worked a treat and we had a very comfy night here! What I particularly loved was the links to the local/Scottish surroundings - all the (beautiful) panoramic canvases on the walls were of Scottish scenery, and I appreciated the little notes by each photo of where it was taken, the mugs and tea tray were of highland cattle, just lots of little things that clearly showed they support the area, great work :) Please don't let the place get run down!! :)
