Dionard Guest House

The room was well kept after, and had modern amenities (mini fridge, and TV), and the bed was very comfortable. The guest was quite accommodating, very warm and friendly, and really knowledgeable about the local area. I only wish I had more time in Inverness to stay longer.

Dionard Guest house is in a great location when visiting Inverness, a ten minute walk to the city centre or the beautiful Ness Islands. A good private car park for guests, it is a great base for exploring the area. The host Gail is very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and amenities, she can guide you to local hidden gems. Gail will advise on suitable places to eat or accommodate you eating a takeaway in if that's your choice. The room I stayed in was well appointed, very comfortable beds and pillows. The ensuite shower room has a good shower and heated towel rail. The room was really warm and cosy in February. I highly recommend Dionard Guest house for a stay and I look forward to staying there again.

This was the first time I stayed in a Guest House and it was one of the best travelling experiences ever. The owner Gail has the perfect balance of being personable while being informative about room info, local restaurants and culture. Some superb tips on well known, beautiful places to walk like Ness Islands, but also lots of info about other not so well known places that might be of interest...she is a font of knowledge. Her experience as a travellor informs Dionard, is like it's heartbeat, having spent a year travelling when she was younger. In all my years of travel no hotel staff ever came near this type of personal attention, hospitality and joy. Gail is from Inverness and her love for the area is infectious. The room I stayed in was perfect! This guest house has seven rooms and each is slightly different and I love that the decoration matches the house. Everything was immaculate and you can tell Gail takes enormous pride in Dionard Guest House as there were little details, or "wee details" as they say here in Scotland that were utterly enchanting. I had hoped to see the Northern Lights whilst here, a long shot, but still a hope...unfortunately that never happened but in my room, as well as all the rooms I believe, are these wee spacemen that shine a Northern Lights pattern / star on the wall or ceiling. When I asked about them Gail said something like "Here at Dionard you can find an Aurora inside every room". After my experience at Dionard Guest House I will never stay in a hotel again.

Great host, beautiful facility, best accomodation of our trip.

Your impression of this place will depend on the room you get. We were traveling with another couple, who were given a lovely room. Our room, however, seemed to be furnished with old worn cast-offs. The inn keepers were not friendly or helpful. Would not stay here again.

Fantastic location, fantastic service and fantastic ladies running this little treasure. I will certainly be returning.

Staff was very helpful and welcoming. The neighborhood is lovely, not far from the center of Inverness.

Nothing special, just all good, comfortable, nice helpful staff ,nice room, simple but good breakfast and mostly the motel is very well located. I liked the mixture of guests of all ages and different culture.

I’m a Tour Guide and live out of Guest Houses and B&B’s. Gail who owns this is a delight, she bends over backwards to ensure every guest has a fantastic time. Everything is perfect, from the delightful rooms, cleanliness, chat, location and the almighty breakfast!! Elaine who will most likely serve you your breakfast is also very pleasant and makes sure you’re well taken care of. The location is easy walking distance to all the lively activities in Inverness. I wish I stayed here every time I was in Inverness but it books up quickly.
