About this property

Drumsmittal School, Black Isle, Inverness

  • Our recently renovated property which was the old village school, is completed to a high standard and is wonderfully bright and spacious. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms we are ideally located in a beautiful rural location less than 10 minutes from Inverness City Centre. The best of both worlds! Use us as your base to explore the Highlands. Our situation is perfect for exploring Inverness, The Black Isle, Loch Ness, Culloden, Clava Cairns, as well as further afield. If you are arriving by public transport we can pick you up in Inverness. There is a large private parking area outside the house and it's free of charge.

    The house has it's own utility room with a washing machine and an electric clothes drier.

    The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including a microwave and a dish washer. If you prefer to eat out the near by village of North Kessock boasts a pub and a tea-room, both of whom serve great food. Free wi-fi is provided, although with so much to see and do, we hope you will relax and switch your phone off!

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!

Wonderful place to stay

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!

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.

Perfect Location Just Outside of Inverness

Donnie and Ellie have transformed the old Drumsmittal School house into clean and modern haven for travelers to Inverness. Spacious and comfortable, a better alternative the the cramped accomodations in town, with pasture views and easy driving access with parking. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting our hosts and would certainly visit again.
