Lochardil House

Inverness mansion with a Garden Wing for dogs and a bar that takes them

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 baronial mansion in a residential pocket south of Inverness city centre, run as a small hotel with a busy bar and function trade. It is a ten minute walk down the hill from the River Ness, which is what makes it useful for dog owners passing through the city. Dogs go in the Garden Wing rather than the main building, and they can sit in the bar with you in the evening.

Why it's in the collection

The River Ness path and the Ness Islands footbridges are a walk down the hill, and Whin Park with its open grass sits right beside them.

Dogs stay in Garden Wing rooms only, and come into the bar but not the restaurant.

Dogs stay in the Garden Wing rooms only, not in the main building. The bar takes dogs when it is not too busy, so dinner and a nightcap together work on that side. The restaurant is people only. If you leave the dog in the room, hang the do not disturb sign or tell reception. Dogs on a lead through the rest of the hotel and the grounds.

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