About

Dunskaith Villa

Dunskaith Villa is a six-room guesthouse on Greig Street, in the heart of Inverness. Its position makes it a practical base for exploring the city on foot: the train station, bus station, and the main shopping streets are all within a five to ten-minute walk. The property is adults-only and operates a strict no-smoking and no-pets policy, which keeps the atmosphere calm and quiet.

Rooms are recently refurbished and come with soundproofing, central heating, an electric kettle, tea and coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV. Some rooms include an iron and ironing board or a work desk. The guesthouse offers parking nearby, and guests have consistently praised the cleanliness and the friendly, helpful staff.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adults-only and no-pets policy — The guesthouse does not accept children or pets, so it won't suit families or travellers with animals.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:30 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No on-site breakfast — The property does not list breakfast among its amenities; guests mention food was available but not as a standard offering.
  • Some rooms share bathrooms — A review mentions a room with a shared bathroom, so not all rooms have private facilities.
