Who it suits
Who Is Mardon Best Suited To?
Mardon works best for guests arriving by car or taxi who want a private kitchen, parking at the door and an easy run to Inverness Airport, the A96 and the Highland routes, without city-centre parking charges or traffic.
Families and Small Groups
The Main House provides two bedrooms plus a sofa bed, shared living and dining space, a kitchen and a private garden. If you are comparing options for children or a small family, review the dedicated family accommodation in Inverness details before enquiring.
Couples and Solo Guests
The one-bedroom Annex keeps the bedroom separate from the living area and has its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom. It suits guests who want a compact, self-contained base rather than a hotel room or shared guest house.
NC500 and Highland Road Trips
Gated parking and A96 access make Mardon practical for two nights at the start or end of a driving itinerary (one-night stays are not available). The NC500 accommodation near Inverness page explains how the location works for route planning.
Contractors and Business Travellers
Both properties include Wi-Fi, a work desk, a kitchen and a washing machine, and stays can be invoiced to the company. See company bookings for consultants and professional stays, or contractor stays for crews, room allocation and van parking.

"A really pleasant stay"
We had a really pleasant stay at Mardon. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and the house itself was spotlessly clean, very well maintained and comfortable. I personally really liked the location. It is slightly outside central Inverness.
