Built in 1909, Stanford House oozes character and catches everyone’s eye from the river path. It’s a real treat to stay in one of Inverness’ historic homes. Stanford House enjoys views up river to Inverness Castle, which is only 10 minutes’ walk from the house along a lovely river path. It is in fact striking how close everything in Inverness is to the property. There are fabulous restaurants and cafés only a few minutes’ walk away and there’s a brilliant waterside pub offering great bar meals a stone’s throw from the house. Not only is it an outstanding base for a city break in this charming, historic little city, Stanford House is an excellent option for those wanting to explore the Highlands. Inverness is the Highland Capital and all roads lead in and out of the city. So, from Stanford House you can explore a different part of the Highlands each day of your holiday. The Black Isle one day, Cairngorms the next, Loch Ness to follow and the Isle of Skye for a day. The options are endless, the Highlands are your oyster.
The house itself offers a great standard of accommodation. Entering the property through the historic vestibule there’s a formal living room on the right with views out to the river and city. Towards the back of the house there is a dining room with second living room area, which has a TV and wood burner. The kitchen is right at the back of the house and has access to a courtyard garden. There’s also a convenient downstairs toilet under the stairs. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, a double, a single and a double with single, so Stanford House comfortably sleeps six people. The house will suit a family or friends wanting an excellent base in the Highland capital for a minimum of three nights. It’s an excellent base from which to explore the city, its surrounds and the wider Highlands.

A very comfortable detached house right by the River Ness. Residents' parking is available outside the house; we parked outside our own front door on every occasion. Everything that you need is in walking distance and Inverness is a great base for exploring the beautiful Highlands of Scotland.

Just came back from a family holiday, staying at Stanford house. It was perfectly located, with a variety of restaurants and take aways within walking distance. Highly recommend ‘the waterfront’ pub for food - 2 mins walk from the house and well as the local Chinese (again just around the corner) for value for money. The house is close to lots of day activities, we tried out the bowling alley - 15 mins drive from the house, a lovely day shopping in the town and checking out the museum. Would highly recommend the Jacobite Loch Ness cruise and a drive out the Nairn to see the beach. Sharon was extremely helpful on our stay and really made the house lovely. It was toasty warm when we got there (much needed after a very long drive up) and the house was stocked with things you’d need for the week such as washing up liquid, tea bags etc. I couldn’t praise it enough tbh. Definitely will be staying there again in the future.
