Kingsmills Hotel

Inverness garden hotel with ground floor dog rooms opening onto the lawn

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 1785 house grown into a full-size hotel on the quiet side of Inverness, with four acres of gardens and a leisure club. It is the city's practical luxury option rather than its most fashionable, and the gardens are what make it work for dogs. Patio and Garden Rooms sit on the ground floor with their own doors straight out onto the lawn, so the last walk of the night is fifteen seconds rather than a trip through a lobby. The fee is charged once per stay rather than per night.

Why it's in the collection

The Ness Islands, a chain of wooded islands joined by Victorian footbridges in the middle of the River Ness, are a short walk away, and the river path carries on past Whin Park towards the Caledonian Canal.

Best suited for

Dogs stay in ground floor Patio or Garden Rooms, and dine with you by room service rather than in the restaurant.

Dogs stay in the Patio Rooms and Garden Rooms, both on the ground floor with direct access to the private gardens. The restaurant and bar are people only, and room service is set up so you can eat with the dog. The grounds and gardens are open to dogs throughout. The fee covers the extra cleaning and is charged per dog per stay, not per night.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
