Map & live prices by our partner
The core appeal of an Inverness guest house is the personal touch: hosts who know the area, breakfasts that fuel a day in the Highlands, and a scale that feels more like staying with friends than in a hotel. Across the set, you’ll find everything from budget rooms for £20 to 4-star Victorian houses with parking, so the choice comes down to what you value most. For a memorable stay, the highest-rated options include Beinn Mhor Lodge, 63 Culduthel Road (9.4) and Avalon (9.1), both with guest-favourite tags and free parking. If you’re watching your budget, The Waverley Guest House starts at just £20, but it carries a lower rating of 5.6, reflecting that you get what you pay for.
Staying central in Inverness means you can walk to the castle, the shops, and the riverside in minutes, and many guest houses make that easy. The Waverley Guest House is a 1-minute walk from the bus station and shops, while The Quaich B&B is 350 metres from the train station and 10 minutes from the city centre. For a slightly more comfortable stay, Ardross Glencairn and Adrian'S Guest House both offer central locations with free parking, and the latter is 5 minutes from the city centre. If you prefer a quieter spot, Ardconnel House is 450 metres from the castle and 5 minutes from the centre, while Ballifeary House is a 10-minute walk to the centre.
Parking is a genuine commodity in Inverness, and several guest houses make it easy. Cavell House, Haste Ye Back, and Moyness House all offer free parking, the latter two with room prices under £80. If you’re arriving by car, these are practical bases, though be sure to check the property’s specific parking arrangements before booking. For a bit more comfort, Beinn Mhor Lodge, 63 Culduthel Road also includes free parking and adds a 9.4 guest rating, starting at £81 per night.
Travellers on a budget will find several guest houses where a night’s stay costs £30 or less. The Waverley Guest House is the cheapest at £20, and while its 5.6 rating is the lowest here, its central location is unbeatable. Ardross Glencairn offers a better balance at £30 with a rating of 8.6, also centrally located with free Wi-Fi. For a step up, Armadale Guest House at £29 earns an 8.1 rating and is family-run, with top marks for breakfast and location. If you don’t mind spending a little more, Carisbrooke Guest House at £50 and Avalon at £51 deliver high ratings of 9.0 and 9.1 respectively.
The Waverley Guest House offers the lowest rate at £20 per night, centrally located near shops and the station, though its 5.6 rating reflects basic comfort. For a better balance of price and quality, Ardross Glencairn at £30 per night scores 8.6 and is also central.
Staying near the city centre puts you within walking distance of the castle, the river, and the train station. Guest houses like The Quaich B&B and Adrian'S Guest House are within a 5–10 minute walk of the centre, making them ideal for first-timers who want to explore on foot.
Prices range from £20 per night for a basic room to £150 for a 4-star property like The Chalet. Many well-rated guest houses with parking and breakfast fall between £50 and £100, such as Avalon at £51 and Carisbrooke Guest House at £50.
Yes, several offer free parking, including Cavell House, Haste Ye Back, and Moyness House. For a higher-rated option, Beinn Mhor Lodge, 63 Culduthel Road provides free parking and has a 9.4 guest rating, starting at £81 per night.
Inverness is a compact city where the river Ness meets the Moray Firth, and its guest houses are as much a part of the local character as the castle on the hill. Many occupy Victorian terraces along quiet streets like Ardross Terrace and Culduthel Road, a short stroll from the city centre, the train station, and the riverside paths. Others cluster near the cathedral or the Eden Court Theatre, offering an easy base for exploring the Highlands without a car.
The price spread here is unusually wide: you can find a simple, centrally located room for as little as £20, while a top-rated 4-star guest house with parking and a standout breakfast might set you back £150 or more. At the budget end, expect no-frills comfort and shared facilities; at the higher end, you’re paying for space, homemade breakfasts, and attentive hosts. Since some other accommodation types also appear on this page, note that they are not counted among the guest houses we’ve assessed.
These guest houses suit travellers who want a personal, welcoming base in the heart of Inverness, often with breakfast and a short walk to the sights. For those arriving by car, prioritise the properties with free parking such as Cavell House or Haste Ye Back.
