I was up recently and stayed in a wee place called Kemps Guesthouse in Inverness. Short walk from the centre of Inverness and highly recommended.

Kingsmill Hotel in Inverness was very good. Also stayed at the Golf View in Nairn but think the service etc was better at the Kingsmill. Pretty sure that there is a Travelodge or two in or around Sneckie. Patrick will keep you right.

Don’t forget to check air bnb. Sometimes more cost effective to rent a whole house for the night.

Edit: a very brief search has come up with a few options including a 3 bed house for a total of £115.

My old pal Howlingale isn't playing this time lol. But £65 for playing Castle Stuart will still be worth it, no matter the weather.
