Testimonial

“The afternoon tea at the Inverness Castle was a truly lovely experience. The room is stunning, the food was beautifully presented and delicious, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout. The story Spirit of the Highlands is woven into the experience, with each item on the cake stand carrying its own meaning, the gentleman who served us took the time to explain the story behind every piece, which made it even more special. There is also a great range of teas and coffee, and the experience includes a mocktail or cocktail. This experience is definitely worth spending your money on. A perfect way to spend an afternoon. I’d highly recommend it.”
