Ring the Bells

Ring the Bells: Highland

Set within a beautiful converted church overlooking the River Ness, this two-storey apartment places you on a quiet road close to everything that Inverness has to offer. An iconic pedestrian bridge offering easy access to the city's shopping and entertainment districts and no fewer than three fantastic restaurants right on your doorstep.

On the first floor, the cosy living room and sleek kitchen come equipped with everything you might need during your stay. From the comfort of the leather sofas, you can enjoy prints of old Inverness adorning the walls, while quirky stone windows offer views over the water down at floor level. Elsewhere, the entrance level offers a supremely comfortable king-size bedroom, with an en-suite equipped with a bath and a separate shower.

Your convenient riverside location comes with the added benefit of providing easy access to the main road out of the city, placing you within half an hour's drive of Loch Ness, Culloden and the Cairngorms National Park. Whisky lovers will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy a wee dram at any one of several local distilleries. Glen Moray is probably the best known and approximately an hour away – you'll just have to hope your travel partner is willing to be the designated driver.

Finally, for anyone looking to explore Scotland's stunning north coast further, Inverness is the jumping off point for the famed North Coast 500. This scenic 516-mile long route weaves a ring around the northern Highlands before ending back where you started, the beautiful city of Inverness.
