Rooms, Events & Tours
Welcome to The Downright Gabbler – a former coaching inn dating back to the 1830s in the centre of Beauly in the Scottish Highlands
The Downright Gabbler
Self Catering Scotland
Dating back to the 1830s the coaching inn has been transformed into four self-catering apartments, as well as an intimate space on the ground floor where we host food and drink events.
Beauly is a traditional Highland village with lots of independently owned shops and well worth a wander and a browse.
Beauly is a great place to use as a base for touring and lies on the North Coast 500 with lots to do in the village itself. An ideal option for train lovers as well as those looking for a car-free holiday.
A short walk from the Downright Gabbler is the wonderful old Beauly Station and our two self-catering apartments. Beauly is the first stop on the North Highland line and is just 15 minutes from Inverness.

Perfect Apartments! We stayed in the gorgeous Caithness suite which is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a short break. Beauly is the perfect base for exploring the Highlands and the Downright Gabbler offer a fascinating free audio walking tour of the village to get you started

We have stayed in the Caithness and Sutherland rooms. Both are very stylish, comfortable and clean. The host has put considerable thought and effort into the detail of each room to ensure a great stay. The care with regard to cleanliness is evident from the moment you walk though the door

Fabulous! We had the opportunity to kick back and relax in Jane and Garry's outstanding facility in the heart of Beauly. The suite is fully furnished with all that you need for a relaxing break and a real home from home. The surrounding area is gorgeous and Beauly itself has so much to offer
