Professional Traveller Review

Inverness only has one 5 star hotel and Ness Walk Inverness is it. I love the location – close enough to get to everything in the centre of Inverness, but in a bit of quieter spot beside the river. There are lovely riverside walks from hotel too.

What’s Nearby

Ness Walk is within easy reach of Inverness so there are plenty of things to do.

Things to Do

Here are my top picks for things to do and places to visit.

The Victorian Market is a good option on a dreich day. There is a food hall inside alongwith some smaller independent shops.

Inverness Castle is due to open in June 2025. This will offer visitors a very interactive experience – it’s much anticipated!

Eden Court Theatre and Cinema – just along from Ness Walk is our lovely local theatre and cinema. There’s always something interesting on and the cinema has a fab selection of films, plus the comfiest cinema seats.
