About this property

The Velvet Thistle, Inverness

  • The Velvet Thistle is a beautifully restored period home in the heart of Inverness, just moments from the River Ness. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, it offers a calm and stylish space to relax and enjoy your Highland stay, with soft, soothing colours and elegant touches.

    Downstairs, you will find a spacious dining room with a wood burning stove, a large table perfect for gathering, and even an old school record player. This space flows into a warm and inviting living room with plenty of comfortable seating and a smart TV. To the rear of the house is a generous, fully equipped kitchen with a feature stove, a small seating area, and a utility room.

    Outside, there is a private enclosed garden where you can unwind and enjoy the sauna after a day of exploring.

    Upstairs, there are three lovely bedrooms, each with comfortable UK king size beds and plenty of storage. The house has a modern family shower room with a large walk in shower, as well as a separate bathroom with a beautiful roll top bath. Please note there is one shower and one bath in the property.

    The Velvet Thistle is the perfect base for a relaxing Highland escape, combining character, comfort, and a fantastic central location.

    At Ness Holiday Homes, we take pride in maintaining clean, comfortable, and well-equipped properties. Upon arrival, we’ll ensure the apartment is warm and welcoming, with the heating and lights on so you can settle right in. A local guidebook with recommendations will also be provided to help you make the most of your visit. Should you need any assistance, I’m happy to help throughout your stay.
