The MacDougall Clansman is a small family-run hotel with a Two Star rating from Visit Scotland. We are conveniently situated in the centre of Inverness, less than five minutes walk from Inverness Railway Station, Farraline Park Bus Station, shops, restaurants, tour departure points and the tourist information centre. The Airport Bus service, number 11, stops just around the corner from us outside the Post Office on Queensgate. Inverness Castle and the River Ness are moments walk away. The Ness Islands, St Andrew's Cathedral and the Eden Court Theatre and Cinema complex, with its beautiful setting overlooking the river, are approximately 15 minutes walk upstream from us.

We offer comfortable and affordable city centre 2 Star accommodation in a friendly, family-run Highland style. All of our bedrooms have en-suite facilities, hospitality tray, lcd television with radio and wake-up alarm and individually controlled central heating for those chilly winter days. All rooms have double glazing and curtains with blackout lining for those bright summer early mornings and late nights. All rooms are non-smoking. All room rates are inclusive of vat, breakfast and wireless broadband internet access, which is available in all bedrooms and public areas. Breakfast is served from 8am to 9.15am, Monday to Saturday, and from 8.30 to 9.30am on Sundays. A self-service continental can be provided by prior request for guests with early departures.
Covid-19
During the current Covid-19 situation there are some modifications to our usual services and your understanding and co-operation is appreciated. Changes broadly cover the following: Pre-arrival, Check-in, Breakfast, Room Servicing and Check-out.
A Digital Registration is required in advance of your arrival. Our Front Door will remain locked for most of the day so an arrival time is essential. If an arrival time cannot be provided in advance, please call us on your arrival and be prepared to wait for entry into the building to check in. Once checked in your door key will provide entry to the building at any time. Numbers of guests and occupied rooms on any given date is currently limited. Breakfast tables are currently reduced in number and socially-distanced so please be prepared to wait for a table on busier mornings. Breakfast service will be table service only. Room servicing for stays of two nights and over is currently on request however supplies can be requested at reception. Ideally please settle your account in advance of checkout, or on arrival, to avoid queues and delays at your time of departure.
Parking
Several car parking options are located nearby, including free overnight parking outside the hotel on Church Street from 6pm until 8am, Monday to Saturday. There are no parking restrictions all day on Sundays, with the exception of the Disabled parking bays.
During the day from 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, on-street parking is metered at £1 for one hour maximum. A free short term 15 minute ticket is available by pressing the green button on any ticket machine.
