An elegant Victorian town house offering
Inverness - Capital of the Scottish Highlands
|

 |
The house sits in an envious position directly above the city centre with panoramic views across the Black Isle, over the Kessock Bridge.
Situated in a quiet, one-way street where the volume of traffic is minimal, we are just 2 minutes walk from the High Street shops and 5 minutes from the railway station. |
Both guest rooms are on the first floor. The family room which comfortably sleeps 3 has an en-suite shower room. The double room is also very spacious, which is generally the case with properties built in the Victorian period. This room has facilities directly opposite. |

The bedrooms are comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated. They are of course equipped with hospitality tray, colour TV and hairdryer, and are centrally heated. |
|
A travel cot for your room and a high chair are available if required. Should you choose to have a child-free night out, we are happy to baby-sit, and can also provide a baby listening service. |

The spacious guests' lounge/dining room with gas living flame fire is the ideal place to sit back and relax, or plan your day's itinerary.
We offer a traditional Highland breakfast or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, in addition to porridge, cereals, toast, fruit, juice, tea, coffee or cappuccino. |
Please note that the house has a no smoking policy
in line with the wishes of the majority of visitors today.
There is on street permit parking, and also one car space to the rear of the house.
