Frequently asked

What is the price range for pet-friendly hotels in Inverness?

Prices for pet-friendly hotels in Inverness typically range from £38 per night at a hotel near the railway station to £347 per night at a luxury boutique. A typical mid-range stay costs around £75 per night.

Which area is best for a first visit with a dog?

For a first visit, staying near the city centre or along the River Ness gives you the most convenience, with many restaurants and paths within walking distance. Hotels such as the Glen Mhor Hotel or The Glenmoriston Townhouse put you right by the river, while the Heathmount Hotel offers a slightly quieter location but still close to the centre.

How do I get from Inverness Airport to the city centre hotels?

Inverness Airport is about 10 miles east of the city, and the Courtyard by Marriott Inverness Airport is a pet-friendly option right by the airport. For city centre hotels, you can take a taxi (around 20–30 minutes) or a bus. Several central hotels, such as the Royal Highland Hotel, are also just steps from the railway station for easy onward travel.

When is the cheapest time to book a pet-friendly hotel in Inverness?

The cheapest months are typically in the low season, from late autumn to early spring, excluding the festive period. You'll find lower prices and more availability outside the summer months. For example, the Royal Highland Hotel drops to £38 per night during these times, compared to higher rates in peak season.

Pet-Friendly Hotels in Inverness: Where to Stay with Your Dog

Inverness, the gateway to the Highlands, is a compact city where the River Ness flows through the centre and the castle overlooks the water. Most of these pet-friendly hotels are within walking distance of the river and the historic core, making it easy to stroll with your dog along the riverbank or through the Victorian Market. The range includes everything from a budget railway-adjacent hotel at £38 per night to a luxury boutique at £347, so the choice largely comes down to how much you want to spend and how central you want to be.

The highest-rated pet-friendly properties here include a 5-star boutique, several 4-star riverside hotels, and a canal-side 3-star. Expect to pay around £75 per night for a typical mid-range stay. Many offer free parking, which is a practical bonus when arriving by car. Beyond the 23 hotels, the page also features 15 other types of accommodation, including guest houses, lodges, and a country house, giving you a wider range of options for your trip.

The bottom line

This set of pet-friendly hotels in Inverness is perfect for travellers who want to explore the Highlands with their dog without sacrificing comfort or location. Choose a riverside hotel for scenic walks, or a budget option near the station for easy transit. If you don't need pet-friendly accommodation, you might also consider pages focused on hotels with parking, central locations, or family-friendly options, which offer different priorities for your stay.
