The property owners were delightful people who were very responsive to the few questions we had. Easy access to the property just north of the Kessock Bridge on the A9, so it's a short 10 minute drive to Inverness City Centre. Plenty of room for the 4 of us (wife, 2 sons & myself) with peaceful country surroundings. Thank you Donnie & Ellie for hosting my family.

This was the cleanest VRBO I've eever stayed at. Communication with the property owners was excellent & immediate. It was well appointed with everything you would need for an extended stay. Within a quick drive from everything, but, private setting in the country just outside of Inverness. Would highly recommend.

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.

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!
