    The owner was very helpful and accommodating. They allow dogs for a small charge, which was a must for us. Easy walk into Inverness along the river. The food was delicious really recommend booking dinner and breakfast.

    Not one thing. The best!

    Karen, the house, the food and the location were all just exceptional! What a great stay- really couldn’t have been any better! Karen made us an absolutely divine traditional Scottish breakfast that was “to die for delicious-farm to table quality, and the portions were just perfect. The shower was so delightful and plenty of hot water and the bathroom was clean , as well as the spotless rest of the house. Beautiful bookcases filled with books about the area and Scottish magazines and most of all the beds were comfy! Karen was a wonderful host we enjoyed her company at breakfast- super fun to talk to! We would definitely come back and stay with Karen here again! A+++. Directions were easy and perfect.

    Just a few minutes from the city centre, this lovely flat is in a quiet and cozy residential neighbourhood. Perfect for a break if you are constantly backpacking and moving across the highlands. Karen welcomes you with all suggestions about the area and what is worth visiting. I hardly recommend to have at least one meal cooked by her as she is part of the slow food movement. You will be so pleased with what she puts together for a nice meal. Another plus for the Italians. Karen lives in Italy so if you struggle with the language she can help you out and makes you feel like home.

    No television. Lacks a bit of privacy. Bed rooms could do better with a chair and dressing table. A few more toiletries could help better. A bit disappointed in the absence of Cranachan for breakfast, which I was looking forward to.

    Clean & new appartment. Delicious & variety breakfast. Karen was quite helpful and welcoming. She helped us to plan the Inverness stay. She was always available for any needs of ours promptly. She guided us to select the travel routes which are quite refreshing and exhilarating for the soul. Comfortable mattress. Easy access to the electrical charging pods in the neighborhood tesco. Location is quite inviting coz of neighborhood tescos, asda and gaming centre.

    Karen is the perfect hostess and her home a lovely sanctuary. Karen communicated from initial booking through checkout. She helped us navigate the local bus routes, offered tips, created delicious meals and we had fun conversations. Karen even dropped us off at the bus station for the next leg of our journey. We would definitely stay with Karen again.

    Parking was a challenge. It was a good thing we had a small car.

    It was very comfortable and relaxing. Two private bedrooms, bathroom and sitting room. Plenty of room for luggage. Karen is a wonderful hostess. The food she prepared was delicous and she offered the opportunity to try new things. Her knowledge of Scotland and tips of places to see was very helpful.

    We had a fantastic stay with Karen this weekend. She went above and beyond to make our stay perfect! Breakfast was great, wish we had booked dinner also as Karen is a brilliant chef. She also gave us a lift to the centre when a taxi let us down. The accommodation is spacious and very clean. A gem in the Highlands and we will definitely return!

    Not what you normally expected from a B&B, more of a house with a WOW factor and breakfast and/or dinner as extras when requested. Very suitable for a family. Karen who was warm & welcoming, made our stay very personalised.

    Spotlessly clean, pleasant and comfortable spaces and a lovely warm host. Two good size bedrooms and a good living space made a for a comfortable stay for four, and there was a playpark for the kids a couple of minutes walk away. We opted for breakfast and they were exceptionally tasty and my kids fussy eating habits were happily accomodated. This may not be a plus for everyone, but the neighbour's cat paid a visit and quite frankly it made my kids holiday.

    Really wonderful stay! The property was clean, well-equipped and comfortable, and Karen was lovely!! She was very responsive and accommodating when we were running late to check in, and she provided us with everything we could need for our short stay. The breakfast she made us the next morning was also the best we had - extremely fresh and delicious! Karen was also kind enough to offer us advice and recommendations for our time in the highlands, including a suggested route to Skye with delicious food stopovers. Will definitely stay again on our next visit!
