Fantastic hosts and comforting place for he way we hoped!
Donnie & Ellie have a lovely property and are wonderful hosts. We enjoyed the quiet setting while only minutes to access to groceries, eating establishments, and highway access to area sites. The property amenities are accurately described and just what we wanted.
It was a clean and well maintained location, very quiet and serene. The views were excellent, the owners were friendly and helpful, and their showers were wonderful!! Would stay their again
Just minutes from Inverness this property was an excellent location to explore the area and we loved that it was a converted school in quiet setting. 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!
We could not have asked for a better place to stay! Clean, comfortable and welcoming! We loved staying here. The hosts are very responsive and kind! Recommend 10/10
Very comfortable stay. Everything was first class and the hosts were so friendly. I would recommend
this property to anyone .

The host was very welcoming and showed us around the apartment. It was exceptionally large given a renovated school. For a family of three adults we had two large bedrooms with bathrooms. The kitchen and laundry facilities were great and included a heated dry rack. We unfortunately only stayed for one night but in future it would offer a great base for a week holiday. I would highly recommend it.
Lovely and peaceful setting. The owners went above and beyond to help when we discovered a flat tire on our rental.
Would definitely recommend this location!
Hosts were very welcoming and delightful. Accommodations were well appointed. We’ve stayed at many holiday homes and this was by far the best. Hosts greeted us upon arrival and had provided supplies for breakfast to carry us over to the next morning in case we needed it. Would definitely recommend it!
This is a delightful place to stay! It is just north of the city and so quiet and peaceful. Big bathrooms and lots of living space. If I could give more than five STARS, I would!
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the sheep farms around us. Donnie was fantastic and we appreciate all that he had done for us. It was a great location to spend our birthday holiday and look forward to returning. We would definitely recommend to everyone!!
This accommodation offers everything you could wish for... beautiful location, comfort and warmth, wonderful bathroom and kitchen, en suite, hosts on hand to welcome you - down to the provision of breakfast (self catering)for the week!
The property was nice and quiet. Having two bedrooms and two full baths was awesome! Ellie is very sweet and helpful. Breakfast items were very appreciated.
This property was conveniently located close to Inverness yet at a distance that offered peace and quiet. The house was immaculately kept with plenty of nice upgrades (e.g., new bathrooms, upgraded kitchen, hot water heater, garden). This was perfect for our family of four! Our hosts, Donnie and Ellie, were great, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We would definitely come back here again.
Our hosts where lovely people who where generous and gracious. The property was clean and well appointed. We wanted for nothing. The neighborhood charming.
This sweet little home was impeccably clean and comfortable. Donnie was a great host and gave excellent recommendations for dinner at a near hotel. The home provided us with great space to prepare meals and relax together. I would absolutely want yo return and share another visit!
I can’t say enough about this place and the owners. It was a beautiful stay in the countryside but still close to Inverness. The house had amazing views. Ellie and Donnie went above and beyond. I highly recommend this place!
4 adult cousins traveling Scotland together. We wished we could have stayed here longer. The hosts were lovely and so helpful. The place was even nicer than the pictures made it seem. Very spacious and comfortable.
