On the west bank of the river you will find a run of guesthouses — large houses with several rooms — and plenty of street parking, ideal for those arriving by car. Haste Ye Back is a clean, welcoming guesthouse with cleverly designed rooms for a comfortable, cosy stay, and it makes self-check-in easy.
Guests love the décor, the amenities, the private bathrooms, the coffee facilities, the Wi-Fi and the little touches like snacks. It sits close to the upmarket River House restaurant and Friars’ Bridge, which leads across to the famous Leakey’s Bookshop.
Location & Parking
Haste Ye Back is on the west bank, in the belt of guesthouses that comes with something the central hotels cannot always offer: its own private parking plus ample street parking nearby. You are a few minutes from Friars’ Bridge, which takes you over the Ness to Leakey’s Bookshop — a cathedral-like second-hand bookshop in a former church — and a short walk from the city centre. It is a calm, residential setting that still keeps you within easy reach of the action.
Rooms & Amenities
The rooms are designed to make good use of the space, so even smaller doubles feel cosy rather than cramped, and each has a private bathroom, coffee facilities and Wi-Fi. Self-check-in means you can arrive on your own schedule after a long day on the road, and thoughtful extras like snacks round out the welcome. It is the kind of place guests describe as feeling looked-after without being fussed over.
Who It Suits
A great fit for drivers, couples and independent travellers who want private parking, a warm welcome and a quieter base a short walk from the centre. If you want a bar and restaurant on site you will prefer the Glen Mhor Hotel or Ness Walk; if you are counting every pound, Alban and Abbey House nearby is a more basic, cheaper option that also has parking.
