Wonderful riverside cottage

Had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. Everything we needed was provided, and we really appreciated getting away from the city for a spell. Thank you, Adrian!

Lovely stay

Cozy little cottage that was perfect for exploring the gorgeous surrounding area. Adrian was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. Only downsides were the fire alarm going off in the middle of our last night and some bees that snuck their way in, but things happen and did not affect our overall stay. We would happily be back!

Thank you Alexandra. We've had the bees dealt with and tested the alarms, so hopefully we'll get that fifth star if you are able to come back. We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay here in the Highlands.

Charming cottage

It is a precious cottage, humble but comfortable. It is not fancy, but we had everything we needed. The only thing I would note is that the written directions for how to find it were very difficult to follow.

Thank you so much Shannon, what a lovely description. We'll have another wee look at the directions and see of we can make it any clearer, but it is a bit hidden away.

Cosy conveniently situated and very reasonable cottage

This cottage is cosy, well equipped and and in an ideal situation for exploring the surrounding area. It is very reasonably priced. The only drawback is that it is situated near a road on which the cars speed by, about 10-12 an hour, which disturbs the peace of this beautiful spot.
Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Oct, 2022
Thank you for your kind review. To be fair the road averages a couple of cars an hour, peaking at 10 or more if you’re home at busy times. The advantage in the Highlands of being near a regularly used road is that we have better services and guaranteed access, even during bad weather (snow, tree falls, rock slides etc).

Peace and quiet

Fantastic wee property, comfy, cosy and clean, thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay, well equiped, nice garden area to chill in, spacious inside, particularly liked the drive in drive out exits, pretty woodland area leading to the river. Great base for Inverness, Fort Augustus & Glen Affric where we enjoyed some great hiking opportunities, plenty of Munro's to tick off the list.

Cosy cottage in the woods.

Cute and warm little cottage, fully equipped with anything you might need for a stay. Slightly dated but reflective in cost. The only thing I would say is negative is the shower. Watch out for the deer in the field opposite.

Great but…

Our only advice is that the bunk beds in the second bedroom are unsuitable for adults. The mattresses are designed for children and so are the widths. Otherwise we very much appreciated our stay

Response from VrboOwner on 29 May, 2023
Thank you for your kind review, we very much like that we are able to contribute to people having a good holiday. I guess with the bunk beds it does depend upon the size of the adult, I hadn’t really thought of that before.

Dirty, could not stay here

The property was not cleaned before our stay. Lots of lice on carpets, black mould and cobwebs on walls, dust, dirt and an empty condom wrapper. Tried contacting the host on arrival, who was rude, aggressive and unwilling to discuss organising a clean - stating this standard was acceptable.

We regret your feelings on this Lizzi. I'm sure that other readers will see that your comments are vey out of step with other reviews and they should also be aware that you did not in fact stay at or even visit the cottage. We note that Vrbo did not uphold your complaint and no refund was given. Readers should be aware that this was a business let which is against our policy. You sent your employees to say in this self catering holiday let and they were clearly unhappy that you had not provided them with fully serviced hotel accommodation. We will be careful to vet rentals more closely in the future to ensure that no other businesses slip through the net. We hope your employees found more appropriate accommodation where their demands could be met. Thank you, Adrian.

NC500 adventure road trip 2025

We used the cottage as a base, we were out and about most days. The cottage was cold in evening as the heating didn’t come on until we had gone to bed. We used the electric fire to warm the place up. Fr the most part we were very happy with the cottage. If enough for just the two of us. TV and tv signal was a let down 17” monitor really not good Bed was comfy with nice clean bedding. Shower was poor, low pressure with a shower head that refused to stay upright. We kept dehumidifier on 24/7 as requested and was emptying it up to 3 times a day, you could smell damp when entering the cottage but not over powering. On the whole we were happy with our stay and good value for money

Thank you for your review and feedback. The heating control is at your disposal with instructions provided in the booklet, we can even adjust it for you remotely. I'm sorry that wasn't ideal for you and left you feeling some dampness also. We find that some guests appreciate that the small TV encourages them to dive into the various games and books that are also provided, but it doesn't suit everybody of course. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you.

A welcoming retreat

This spacious cottage felt like a home from home, and lived up to all our expectations. We appreciated the the little touches provided by Adrian. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, and my wife really appreciated the excellent lighting for reading and painting in the evenings. The bed was very comfortable and we slept like logs after our long walks during the day. This is an excellent base for touring this beautiful area with no shortage of interesting places to visit.

Idyllic little cottage

A beautiful, quaint little cottage, in a fantastic location, really quiet and relaxed, but only a short drive to Loch Ness exhibition and Urquhart Castle. I'm so glad we decided to stay here rather than our original plan of staying in Inverness, so much charm and character, we loved it.
