Very nice house in a great location. It was very clean and the perfect accommodations for our family. Greggor's communication was great! Easy check-in. He provided us with a tour to the Isle of Skye which was excellent and taylored so that all in our party were able to see the sites. He also picked up and Fish and Chips dinner for us and it was the best meal!This house and host are highly recommended!

Great location

Close to the town centre so very easy to find restaurants close by and Aldi is right around the corner!The space is generous and will accommodate 6 but has only one bathroom so it can be a bit challenging.We thoroughly enjoyed the space and even had a fire in the evening which was lovely. The little conservatory dining space was really nice when the sun came out.The host was very responsive and very generous with the amenities. I would definitely recommend the cottage for future travellers

Lovely stay

Cottage exactly as listed, clean, light, and cozy. Location was excellent - small pleasant walk across bridge into shopping and restaurants. Gregor was communicative through entire process and helped us out a bunch on planning and direction. We took him up on a rather bespoke tour that was the absolute highlight of our trip.

Great place & host

The location was great. The accommodations were perfect for our group of six. The backyard was delightful and we especially enjoyed the fireplace and watching the Euro cup final on the very large TV in the living room! Gregor was absolutely wonderful to deal with - very helpful, very responsive and wonderfully accommodating!

The Cottage

Our stay with Gregor in Inverness was fabulous! The Cottage was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and comfortable while also being walking distance to many Inverness restaurants and shops. Having a working fireplace made ready for use was lovely. While the kitchen and bathroom were small, they met all our needs. Gregor was nice enough to have a few things for us in the kitchen for breakfast! Gregor is a fount of wonderful information and history which made out stay even better! We would definitely stay again!

Comfortable property in great location

We really enjoyed the City Centre Cottage. It was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for the six of us. Kitchen was fully stocked and we cooked several meals there. Very much appreciated the wood burning fireplace and the logs that were provided. Just a short walk to the center of the city! Definitely recommend.

A Wee Gem in inverness

We were two couples staying in the flat. It was clean and had every amenity that we could have needed. The location was a short walk to the downtown. When we arrived we found food items in the fridge for our first breakfast. Very generous! I would highly recommend staying here and we will stay again the next time we are in Inverness.
