About
Parkhill Guest House
Parkhill Guest House sits on Ardconnel Street, a quiet residential street just above Inverness' centre.

The house itself is a traditional stone building with a garden, offering a calm base for exploring the Highlands.
Inside, the guest house keeps things straightforward: carpeted rooms with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and free toiletries. Guests share bathroom facilities in some room types, and the daily housekeeping keeps everything in order.

–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 18:00, which can be tight if your travel plans are flexible. Late arrivals are not covered by the stated policy.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — The listed rooms do not include private bathrooms – the double and twin rooms share facilities, which may not suit everyone.
- No pets allowed — The guest house does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with a dog or cat.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels – plan your last morning accordingly.
- No on-site parking mentioned — Parking is not listed among the amenities, so you may need to find street parking or a nearby car park.
