Last minute family holiday

Excellent find for our family. It was clean, and very comfortable. Showers were powerful, beds were very comfortable. Susan was so helpful salting the driveway as it had snowed over night- very magical. Would highly recommend this place and hope to return again.

This may be the nicest VRBO home where we have stayed. Super clean and comfortable. The house seemed modern, but still retained the old world charm of the original building.

Week in Scotland

The house was a perfect home-away-from home for our family of 6 adults! Everything we needed was provided, and made it easy for us to have meals at the house once we acquired some groceries from Aldi. The beds were super comfortable and the showers were perfect! Susan was a great help-stopping by one time to introduce herself, and even coming out to shovel the driveway on the morning it snowed! There were tons of historical sites within a short drive. And breakfast at the North Gateway Restaurant is an absolute must!

Excellent property with great value for money. Very clean, more than enough room, location is close enough to Inverness (< 15 mins) but enough in country for quiet. Sue is a super host and very helpful.

Wonderful House

The location of the Old Police House was perfect for our 3 night stay. It was a few minutes drive to several sights we wanted to visit. The house is in a quiet and pretty location. The interior is modern and comfortable. Our host Susan dropped by to introduce herself and see if we needed anything. Check in and checkout was easy. We wish we had more time to stay and would love to return in the future.

Lovely Highlands Stay

We enjoyed this property as it was close enough to everything and yet in the country. The hostess has gone to a lot of work and everything is spotless and looks new. She thought of everything that a guest might need or want- laundry detergent, dog paraphernalia for the dog lovers, extra adapters for our phones. She was friendly and suggested several places to eat and explore! Just the perfect stay!
