General

Park House is a substantial and gracious Victorian villa located on the west side of Inverness city centre, with easy access to the heart of the city, the Caledonian Canal and the main Loch Ness tourist route. Originally built as the park superintendent's house, Park House was bought by the current owners 25 years ago as an established business and since then has continued to be run as a highly successfully guest house with year round trade and many repeat bookings. The property has been well-maintained and modernised whilst retaining many original features and the informal feel of a family home. For those wishing to expand the business there are opportunities within the existing layout to create further accommodation.

Inverness is a thriving and expanding city, its prosperity reflected in its amenities including excellent restaurants, good shopping and recreational facilities, while a strong traditional Highland culture blends happily with modern theatre and the arts. With this expansion comes increased tourist numbers and continuing demand for good quality city centre accommodation. The city has good communications with a main line railway station and the airport with its regular flights all over the British Isles and summer flights to Europe, these options expanding all of the time. Within a short drive from the city lies the beautiful and varied countryside of the Highlands of Scotland, famous throughout the world, from the mild Moray coastline to the stunning West Coast and the dramatic northern mountains, all offering a wide range of leisure and sporting opportunities within a beautiful and unspoilt landscape.
