We truly enjoyed our stay in Inverness. We were able to walk to everything—to and from the train station, bus station, and local restaurants. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed watching movies in the evening from the reclining furniture in the sitting room. A perfect place for our short stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Rose Cottage! Leading up to the date Gregor maintained communication and provided any information we needed. He helped us with our luggage; dropping into town for us to catch a bus to our next destination. We met Gregor before we left. He was lovely and cheerful and more than happy to help. We only wished we had read the compendium before the last day. We would've considered Gregor to take us on local tours. The beds were comfy and rooms were cosy.

Hi Grace, It was lovely to meet you and glad you enjoyed your stay. If you're up on Skye and can leave the kids with your folks, go to Elgol and get a boat £50 over to Loch Coruisk and hike up Sgurr Na Stri (467 meters) - internet it and you'll see what I mean.

Loved my stay at Rose Cottage. Gregor was a great host...even left us 'bits and bobs' in the fridge for our arrival. The cottage is in such a convenient location so we had no trouble getting around without a car. Would definitely stay again!
