This was the first time I stayed in a Guest House and it was one of the best travelling experiences ever. The owner Gail has the perfect balance of being personable while being informative about room info, local restaurants and culture. Some superb tips on well known, beautiful places to walk like Ness Islands, but also lots of info about other not so well known places that might be of interest...she is a font of knowledge. Her experience as a travellor informs Dionard, is like it's heartbeat, having spent a year travelling when she was younger. In all my years of travel no hotel staff ever came near this type of personal attention, hospitality and joy. Gail is from Inverness and her love for the area is infectious. The room I stayed in was perfect! This guest house has seven rooms and each is slightly different and I love that the decoration matches the house. Everything was immaculate and you can tell Gail takes enormous pride in Dionard Guest House as there were little details, or "wee details" as they say here in Scotland that were utterly enchanting. I had hoped to see the Northern Lights whilst here, a long shot, but still a hope...unfortunately that never happened but in my room, as well as all the rooms I believe, are these wee spacemen that shine a Northern Lights pattern / star on the wall or ceiling. When I asked about them Gail said something like "Here at Dionard you can find an Aurora inside every room". After my experience at Dionard Guest House I will never stay in a hotel again.
