We loved this beautiful cottage. Very convenient to everywhere we needed to be, just a short walk along the Ness. Warm duvets. Loved the eating nook looking out in the garden.
You can tell that this cottage is an older building: A few details could profit from fresh paint or replacement, and the garden from more care. However, most of the appliances are new and work very well, everything was clean, and the communication with Gregor was easy. What we loved most was the small conservatory where we had lunch and dinner.
My family enjoyed staying at this cottage very much. The wall garden in the back is super cute and having my coffee in the glassed in breakfast nook in the morning was a great way to start each day. It was convenient to the grocery store and easy to get to. Having a parking pass was appreciated as we were able to park our car right out front. We could quickly walk across the bridge to the city center from the house and it was just a quick trip back if something was forgotten. We found this house very relaxing to be in for our stay in Inverness which is a plus for us! The neighborhood was generally quiet and felt family friendly. The kitchen was well equipped and had a dishwasher and a washer which we appreciated. There is a line outside to hang the clothes and a rack inside too. Our host was lovely and the property was a good fit for our family of four.
Great location to seeing sights of Inverness, walking distance to downtown, restaurants and grocery shopping.Communication with owner was great and very timely. Very comfortable place.
Easy access to town, restaurants, groceries, walk to bike rental and walking paths. Rode bikes to Dores on Loch Ness which was a great way to see the countryside!
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 size and location were nice. Loved being able to walk to restaurants and being so close to Aldi. A few maintenance issues, but he was there to tell us about them, which i appreciated.
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!
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.
The cottage is very spacious and close to town with many restaurants. Gregor made us feel at home. And provided us with a wonderful city and Outlander tour. We loved Inverness!
Close to stores, bike tour, restaurants, River Ness. Host was very responsive to any of our requests. We hired him to pick us up at Edinburgh and give us a tour of the Isle of Skye. He was a great resource on Scottish culture and enjoyable to be around.
Gregor was a delightful host-guide. His VRBO was well- situated very near an ALDI grocery store and many restaurants.
We also used Gregor's services for several days of touring and he was incredibly accommodating , knowledgeable and a most pleasant person.
A memorable stay !
What a great stay! Fantastic location, super well-equipped, extremely comfortable, very clean. So thankful for the gracious small touches throughout. Spectacular host, in depth local knowledge and guide to everything Inverness and beyond. Do stay here and count on the host to guide you in all the right ways!
Check in/out was smooth. The owner came by to check on us and offer info on the area. The back yard and porch were wonderful. The location was just across a bridge from the down town area - easy walking to dining and shopping. The home was clean, comfortable and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
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.
Rose Cottage is homely, functional, walking distance to town along the River Ness and with proximity to AMAZING locations whether you feel like a short day out or a longer drive. It's host Gregor is friendly, down to earth and a great tour guide if you like him to be.
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.
This property is within walking distance of downtown Inverness it is close to stores and restaurants. Gregor is a tour guide and is very familiar with the Highlands. We went on several private tours with him and never saw a tour bus at the locations he took us.
This place was perfect. Centrally located, nice neighborhood with grocery close by. We were able to walk everywhere. Gregor was amazing and we booked a “tour” with him. We got to see all over the countryside, he was very helpful and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and time here. Extra touches like bread and milk was amazing. Would definitely recommend and if we find ourselves up there again we will be staying here again if we can. Thanks so much.
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!
Loved our stay at Gregor’s. Easy walk to downtown Inverness, quiet street with permit parking (which Gregor provided for us). Right across from an Aldi so we could stock up on snacks and drinks.
Plenty of space downstairs to spread out and bedrooms worked for our needs - one couple in the queen, one single person in the double bed and another couple taking the room with twin beds. Like camp! :)
French press in kitchen was nice for coffee and Gregor even left us a few food items to get us going (eggs, bacon, bread, milk, butter). So so kind.
Thank you for everything!
The cottage was perfect for our needs and made exploring Inverness a breeze as it was an easy 10-15 min walk into the city along the river.
The stroll down to Ness Islands was a delight and we enjoyed the hospitality at the Waterfront gastropub which was a couple of minutes from the cottage.
There was a local supermarket around the corner which made getting groceries easy (we were without a car on this occasion)
Gregor was super helpful and communicative and we really appreciated the welcome provisions. We had the pleasure of meeting Gregor on our departure and he was very pleasant and full of local information.
He also offers bespoke tours which we hope to experience on a future longer visit.
A lovely stay the whole family enjoyed.
Gregor has a beautifully appointed home in a central location.
The home was clean, comfortable and restful. The back garden and sunroom was such a lovely place to relax and enjoy meals.
The closeness to the downtown centre was a real plus. We could enjoy all Inverness had to offer, and then cross the river back to our home away from home.
A point of note was Gregor’s kindness when it came to check out. We had a delay and were not able to get out on time. He was generous and kind even though it effected the cleaning staff.
Can’t wait for our next stay and have Gregor take us on a few tours.
Thank you Gregor!!
