A jewel with historic buildings and charming streets, Inverness is surrounded by a typical Scottish Highland landscape.

Take a walk around the Old Town, visit St Andrew’s Cathedral, and make a stopover in the charming Victorian Market. The Old High St Stephen's Church is the oldest building in town, and has been a religious site since pre-Christian times.

The Inverness Castle overlooks the river and is nowadays the seat of the Sheriff Court. A hotel in Inverness city centre is ideal to enjoy the different cultural and recreational activities in town.

    It's an amazing city!

    It's an amazing city! It's so beautiful, not big and crowdy, but at the same time you can find so many things to do there. There are lots of places for a nice walk: along the river Ness, city center, Caledonial canal, woods. Loch Ness is just 20 minutes drive, castles, beaches are all not far. The Botanical garden is small but really nice and it's free! I enjoyed to visit Eden Court every evening - to watch a cinema or for a concert. There are lot of nice restaurants. The Dolphin spirit boat trip was astonishing as well! Really recommend to visit

    Everything was within walking distance of the apartment.

    Everything was within walking distance of the apartment. The walk along the Banks of the River and across the bridges was exceptional particularly with the spring flowers adorning the flower beds and banks. Views to the Castle and the Cathedral made for beautiful photographs. If it's nightlife you're after plenty of pubs offering live entertainment of a high standard. Choice of eateries to suit every pocket and every cuisine. No need to hire a car, as the bus station offers buses to a wide range of tourist destinations, Culloden, Nairn, Aberdeen, Skye and Glasgow to name only a few. We will definitely return to this vibrant friendly city. Shopping is also good both for tourist gifts and also for the shopping Mall experience in the Eastgate Centre. Maybe next time weather permitting we may see the Northern Lights? This city will leave you feeling you've had a break and enjoyed the walking experience.

    Inverness is a great place to stay to take trips from, however not a great deal to do in Inverness itself. There is a lovely little botanical garden but took less than an hour to look round. The museum was dedicated to mostly the Jacobite period and taxidermy didn't spend too much time there, but they did have an exhibition on for bird photographer of the year which was amazing. Have a look round leaky's bookshop it full of old books you'd not find anywhere else. Old Victoria market also had some lovely shops. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Buses very confusing making self travel hard.

    Things we enjoyed a lovely walk by the River Ness to Ness Islands. A pint at The Castle Tavern overlooking the River Ness. Shopping in the souvenir shops. Inverness is a great base for exploring the surrounding area. We visited Culloden Battlefield, Dolphin Centre and the very beautiful Glen Affric.

    Discover the enchanting Isle of Skye and the mysterious depths of Loch Ness, two must-visit gems in Inverness. Whisky aficionados, remember to book your distillery tours early, especially for coveted experiences like the Macallan tour, as last-minute plans may leave you disappointed. We mostly savored homemade meals at our apartment but also enjoyed local flavors at nearby vibrant eateries. For those wishing to explore Inverness at their own pace, consider hiring a car in advance; it’s a short journey to the airport, but well worth the freedom it affords to uncover this captivating region.

    Friendly welcome from host who is a mine of information about Scotland and Inverness, from lovely anecdotes to tips for places to visit and things to do. Rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, every taste catered, be it fresh fruit salad, yogurt or porridge to a full cooked breakfast. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this cosy and comfortable guest house just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Inverness.

    Host was extremely welcoming, helpful and informative. The flat was scrupulously clean, exceptionally well equipped with everything you could need. The view from the lounge is stunning with beautiful sunsets on offer. The flat is conveniently located for exploring many areas in Scotland, but would also be great for holidays in and around Inverness. We stopped off on our way to the Western Isles but may stay longer and explore the area next time.

    Our favorite place we stayed during our 10 day Scotland trip by far. Beautiful home, great location, room and bathroom were beautifully decorated and large!! Our host, Joan, couldn’t have been nicer. She messaged us restaurants ahead of time and suggested making a reservation because they get so crowded, which we did and it was perfect! Could easily walk there and all around the town. Really great breakfast too with fruit even!! Perfect stay!

It''s like a 10 min walk into the center of Inverness, which was perfect. Had really good drinks in a bar called Scotch & Rye.

    Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. Easy, short walk to downtown. Great breakfast was included. Host family could not be nicer. They even picked me up when I got a bit turned around walking there from the train station! Inverness is a lovely city, very close to the Culloden Battlefield, the terrible aftermath of which is why so many Scots left Scotland for America, N. Ireland, etc. Well worth visiting!

We have been bouncing around Scotland for a little over a week and my kids think Inverness was by far their favorite place. The Chieftain had a lot to do with that. Also, the Hop On-Hop Off bus tour has a stop right across the street!

Location was great given it’s just about a 10 min walk from the city center and if you’re getting used to driving on the “proper side of the road” 😉 you might not want to drive into the city just yet.
