Rosemary was very nice and welcoming. She gave us tips about best places in town to have a nice meal and a full higlander experience. The place was very quiet at night which made it very easy to rest after a long day outside. The cottage is from a walking distance to all places of interest, for us it was just a 10-15 minute walk from all our meeting points for our excursions. There's an Aldi supermarket just next door for supplies, a small fridge inside the bedroom and coffee and tea avaiable, as well as some podridge, which we greatly appreaciated in the mornings. I totally recommend this place for your stay.

Could not fault this accommodation at all. Lovely and extremely clean room and bathroom with amazingly fluffy white towels. It was room only, but we had a porridge pot with little pot off honey, which was a great touch, so we did not have to stop for breakfast. Mary Anne was very welcoming and told us how to get to the town and which bars were best to go to with live music. Had a perfect stay on our NC500 route. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Rosemary was a wonderful host -very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect being just a short walk to the river, footbridge and centre of Inverness. There were also cafes and restaurants nearby. The stone cottage is beautiful and one of a series of heritage terraces. The room was small but very comfortable and well appointed with a private bathroom across the hall. It was great having a street-parking permit, which Rosemary had organised before our arrival. Highly recommend this property.

Our host was so kind and allowed us to check in early. We greatly appreciated that! She also gave us great recommendations for food and accessing the city. It was such a sweet place, felt like a little apartment in the Highlands. So comfortable! Easy access to breakfast, coffee, water, and tea in the room. Great options for beverages and fresh milk in the refrigerator. Oh! Aldi right around the corner so we got snacks for our travels! Quick walk to train station and bus station across pedestrian bridge!

Owner was very nice and helpful. Location was easy to find. Facilities were clean and comfortable.
The arrangement of the other guest room made it such that they had to go across the hall past our room to use it which at times was noisy. A really tall person would have a hard time with the gable ceilings which were low.

The location was amazing (a short walk across a beautiful bridge to the main street in Inverness) right by the river. The hostess was lovely and helpful, even late in the evening when we arrived. The value was fantastic. There was an Aldi's across the street and the location made it very easy for day trips outside Inverness.
The bathroom was a bit cold.

Asked for two quilts, they didn't have enough so offered an alternative of providing us with a king sized quilt. Then on the day we arrived, they had enough and our request was delivered! Rosemary was very welcoming and cared very much of our stay. Would definitely come back again.

The house is located in a beautiful area close to the riverside, a peaceful area, even neighbors were greeting us in the morning on the street. The host was really friendly and helpful, everything was very clean and tidy. There was not only tea and coffee available in the room but also porridge for breakfast and fresh milk in the fridge.
The room is quite small, however, for a couple of nights' stay it was perfect.

Great location, freshly updated, comfortable and convenient. Host was very lovely and responsive to Q's.
Nothing really - breakfast very simple, do it yourself instant cereal but we had a nice little bistro table at which to enjoy it.

Absolutely delightful!! We loved our stay here! We had a room with a private bathroom which was all very clean and comfortable! Rosemary was so very kind and welcoming! There is a mini fridge and she has tea and coffee and oatmeal available in the room. Within walking distance of everything Inverness has to offer! The Cottage is on a charming street!
Everything was great!
