Since taking over the business almost 4 years ago, the owners of Westerlea Hotel have embarked on a programme to upgrade the facilities & service provided within the hotel, which has resulted in an excellent reputation for hospitality & quality of service. Throughout the hotel many new operational systems have been put in place in which has helped to create a professional & pleasant environment for guests and staff alike which has in return provided a healthy level of trade for our clients. The hotels location which is set back from the main Inverness to Aberdeen road is an ideal position to attract passing trade.
