The property was great and really close to what you would want to see and do in Inverness. Everything was smoothly done from check-in to check-out. The only nitpicking I would have is there is no dryer, so laundry can be a hassle unless you stay during one of the few dry days of Scotland.
Gregory was great to work with. We arrived late on the first night, and he stopped by the next morning to say hello. The home had a lot of charm, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was well equipped and worked great for our stay.The backyard could use a little love, but it still worked well for relaxing and enjoying a few beers. The location was excellent — a grocery store was within a 4-minute walk, and downtown restaurants and shops were only about 10 minutes away on foot.
It was great to have a home away from home. Our host was very obliging and helped us with many transportation issues. As vacationing seniors, we couldn’t have asked for more!
The property was well-stocked with everything we needed and more, it was the perfect location to walk everywhere, and it was quiet at night. Comfortable beds, clean, and the best part was Gregor - very kind, helpful, and responsive. Definitely coming back to stay here.
What a great place to stay in Inverness! It’s a clean, well appointed, comfortable location, just a ten minute walk to the city center. Our host, Gregor, was very helpful and welcoming. He had lots of tips for things to do and places to eat. This was our first trip to Scotland, and it couldn’t have been better. We highly recommend Clava Cottage!

Gregor is a superb host! He gave great sightseeing ideas, and is a wealth of knowledge about the area. Clava cottage is exactly the stone cottage you envision when you think of the highlands.
The house was in a great location for walking to restaurants and shopping. We did two bus tours and could walk to the pick up points in 12 minutes.
The host - Gregor was very nice. I’d recommend this property.
The accommodation was comfortable and communicating with the property was easy and quick. For the most part, it was as stated in the listing. It's a bit old and worn in places, but is certainly liveable.
The location is really great! Close to the wobbly bridge for walks into "downtown" and very handy to the Aldi -- literally up the street!
We enjoyed our stay very much
We had a lovely stay in Inverness! Gregor was a very accommodating host, answered all of our questions quickly and even acted as a tour guide on a couple of occasions. He also hooked us up on the prettiest bike tour we’ve ever been on. Definitely ask about it! Highly recommend.
Clava Cottage was cozy and homey, or homely as they say in the UK. Gregor was an excellent host, communicative and responsive.
The house had everything we needed and was comfortable. The wood burning stove in the living room was especially nice given the unseasonably cool weather during our stay. The location was walkable to city centre and an Aldi, a Tesco, and a Lidl. The cottage was an excellent home base for our highland adventures. We had a lovely stay.
Clava Cottage couldn't be better located! A quick walk to the bridge and you are in the heart of the city and great food.
My husband and I, along with our three children (14,12,9) enjoyed our stay in Inverness (3 nights). The flat was a great home base after exploring all day. Great family room for us all to eat together and enjoy a movie! Two bathrooms and ample space for the kids (they stayed upstairs). It was nothing fancy but just what we needed. Gregor left some essentials in the kitchen which was very thoughtful and helpful!!
We were traveling with a friend and our 18 month old. The property was even lovelier than the listing. There were two cribs and two cribs and two high chairs, as well as black out curtains in the rooms which meant our baby slept great. He loved running around the back yard, and we appreciated the outdoor space. The kitchen was very well appointed, and Gregor even left us with some basics so we could feed ourselves breakfast after a late arrival. It was a lovely walk along the river to get to the city center. We were so pleasantly impressed with our stay.
Walking distance to town center, pubs, public transit and more. Clean home with plenty of space, nice beds, fully stocked kitchen and living room. Plenty of heat and space. Surprise breakfast items and coffee were used and enjoyed! The host is above and beyond, salt of the earth, helpful, funny, knowledgeable, active, and a good person. Hes the kind of guy who feels like a family member in a moment! Beyond hosting, as a guide and driver his services are great and very informative, competitive, and tailored to your needs. Such a great host and location, hoping to see him again, beyond recommended to everyone.

Great location, comfortable well stocked cottage. Great host Gregor really made our stay memorable!
Very nice location, well situated and Gregor is a very good host! We stayed there for 5 nights with our friends. There is everything you need in the kitchen. Super nice backyard also. I stongly recommend.
Lovely cottage conveniently located near the river path, downtown shopping and a grocery store right around the corner. Gregor was a great host and accommodated all our needs. Would definitely book again!
Lovely property, all necessary amenities, 1 min walk to River Ness, 5 min to city centre. Gregor was extremely helpful with tips of what to do and where to go, advice about the property, etc.
This is a perfect location to explore Inverness. Beautiful walk along the River, grocery store 1/2 a block away. Gregor was there to meet us and see us off. I would stay here again.
Very nice apartment. Gregor is a fantastic host, very helpful and accommodating. He even took us on a quick tour in his van of the area. Very clean and comfortable. We highly recommend this place.
