Crown House is a beautiful stone-built Victorian property dating back to 1895. Situated in a pretty, quiet conservation area, only a 10-minute walk from Inverness City Centre and convenient public transport links. Full of period features and traditional charm, Crown House is your home from home, a warm Highland welcome awaits all my guests. Guest rooms are equipped with a private bathroom and shower, flat-screen tv, free wifi, luxury towels and bedding, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries and refreshments.
Hi, my name is Heather and I look forward to welcoming you to Crown House. My comfortable and cosy guest house is located in a beautiful part of the HIghlands. As the guest house is also my family home, you will likely meet the rest of the family including our very friendly furry duo; Mocha the dog and Jingle the cat. I want to make your stay at Crown House as pleasant and enjoyable as possible if you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate to ask, I'll be more than happy to help you. In my free time I enjoy exploring the great outdoors and local walks with Mocha along with family and friends.
Crown House is conveniently located close to Inverness City Centre and all the local attractions. The Art Gallery & Museum, Town House, Inverness Castle, Inverness Cathedral are all within easy walking distance of the property, a brief 10-minute walk. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the River Ness which leads to the tranquillity of the Ness Islands, tropical Botanical Gardens and Caledonian Canal. From the Caledonian Canal, you can enjoy the wildlife and nature up close before a cruise onto the waters of Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. Inverness City Centre has an abundance of restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. Some of my personal favourite restaurants are The Mustard Seed for the ambience, Urquharts for traditional Home cooked food, The Kitchen for the stunning views of the River Ness and finally The Rajah for authentic Indian Cuisine.
