Still retaining much of its original architectural features, The Ness Guest House is a Victorian home built in 1877. Located in the city of Inverness in the Scottish highlands, it offers free off street parking for four standard sized cars and free Wi-Fi access. There is an 11kw Electric Vehicle charging point for each parking space, so every guest room has a dedicated EV charging point. The tastefully decorated rooms at The Ness Guest House each include a flat-screen TV with a DVD/CD player, an en suite bathroom with complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. They also benefit from tea and coffee-making facilities. A freshly cooked full Scottish breakfast is available to all guests every morning. From the B&B, Inverness Castle and Eastgate Shopping Centre are just a few minutes' walk away. Inverness Cathedral and Eden Court Theatre are less than 1 mile away, while Loch Ness is a 20-minute drive from the guest house.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.9 for a two-person trip.

    Really good location close to the centre but still on a quiet street. Susan was a brilliant hostess and her coffee was one of the best I had on our whole Scotland-trip. The bathroom was well equipped with a modern tap.

Property information

A warm and friendly Highland welcome from Richard and Susan at The Ness Guest House in Inverness.

We have free private off-street parking for four standard sized cars and secure anchor fixings for motorcycles. There is an 11kw Electric Vehicle charging point for each parking space, so every guest room has a dedicated EV charging point. There is free wireless internet access for guests. We provide updates on what’s on in Inverness (for example where you can enjoy live Scottish music), our own suggestions and our guests’ recommendations on what to see and do, where to eat and drink in the city as well as lots of guides, maps and tourist information. Choose from a tasty full Scottish or Scottish Smoked Salmon breakfast to get you ready for the day. These are included in the room price. We want your stay with us to be extremely comfortable, starting each day refreshed after a great sleep, satisfied after a tasty breakfast and all set with a full itinerary for exploring Inverness and the Highlands.
