Wow! What a brilliant stay at the Drumsmittal School! Donnie and Ellie were the best hosts, the property and home are gorgeous, and we could not have enjoyed our stay more. Drumsmittal School was an ideal location for us to explore the highlands, a short drive to Inverness to pick up fish and chips for dinner, and outside of the city for a peaceful nights rest. The home is immaculate, everything is freshly laundered and cleaned, with food staples provided so we didn't have to run to the grocery upon arrival. We walked down to the North Kessock Hotel for a wonderful dinner one night - it was full so we were glad we made a reservation as the host guide suggested. As other guests have said, the only problem with the stay is that it wasn't longer! Thank you for the amazing stay!
As you can see, spotless and comfortable. We spend many mornings at the couch or table drinking our tea and coffee, admiring the views.
The beds were comfortable and bedrooms were quiet.

Just minutes from Inverness this property was an excellent location to explore the area and we loved that it was a converted school in quiet setting. We stayed in the two bedroom suite and found it to be spacious, comfortable and the amenities thoughtfully designed. I would highly recommend staying at this property!

This property was conveniently located close to Inverness yet at a distance that offered peace and quiet. The house was immaculately kept with plenty of nice upgrades (e.g., new bathrooms, upgraded kitchen, hot water heater, garden). This was perfect for our family of four! Our hosts, Donnie and Ellie, were great, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We would definitely come back here again.

Peaceful Property

This was a welcome sight at the end of each day we journeyed around the countryside. The location is convenient for exploring Inverness as well as a wealth of interesting attractions in the region. Very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were excellent at communicating with us and responded immediately to quickly fix a minor issue. We would recommend the so location without reservation.

We love the location of this home, it enabled us to have short trips to enjoy all of Inverness both downtown and some of the outlying areas. North Kessock was absolutely wonderful. We ate dinner there as well as breakfast and highly recommend both.

Wonderful place to stay

Hosts were very welcoming and delightful. Accommodations were well appointed. We’ve stayed at many holiday homes and this was by far the best. Hosts greeted us upon arrival and had provided supplies for breakfast to carry us over to the next morning in case we needed it. Would definitely recommend it!

Comfortable and Convenient

Stayed here as our family of three and absolutely loved the property. Donnie and Ellie were available as needed and were very welcoming and open and easy to communicate with. The house made a great place to stay for our trip being convenient to Inverness but also a great base for our day trips out to various parts of the Highlands. It was great to come back to the property at the end of the day and be able to relax eating dinner while watching the sheep graze in the fields around the property, even heard the cows in the field above the sheep! The kitchen had everything we could need and the interior is updated and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Inverness area!
