Gregory was great to work with. We arrived late on the first night, and he stopped by the next morning to say hello. The home had a lot of charm, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was well equipped and worked great for our stay.The backyard could use a little love, but it still worked well for relaxing and enjoying a few beers. The location was excellent — a grocery store was within a 4-minute walk, and downtown restaurants and shops were only about 10 minutes away on foot.

Clava Cottage is great!

What a great place to stay in Inverness! It’s a clean, well appointed, comfortable location, just a ten minute walk to the city center. Our host, Gregor, was very helpful and welcoming. He had lots of tips for things to do and places to eat. This was our first trip to Scotland, and it couldn’t have been better. We highly recommend Clava Cottage!

Excellent location

The accommodation was comfortable and communicating with the property was easy and quick. For the most part, it was as stated in the listing. It's a bit old and worn in places, but is certainly liveable. The location is really great! Close to the wobbly bridge for walks into "downtown" and very handy to the Aldi -- literally up the street! We enjoyed our stay very much

Great cozy cottage in Inverness

We liked the location of this cottage very much. It was professionally cleaned when we arrived and as we checked-in quite late Gregor was kind enough to stiock bread, bacon, eggs, milk and tea for our breakfast the next day, which we highly appreciated. It's not 5 star accomodation, but it was super clean and convenient and Gregor was extremely helpful with recommemdations. Would certainly stay again if in this very special part of the world.

We had a lovely stay here. Gregor went above and beyond answering all of our questions. His knowledge of the area helped us so much. The location is on a fairly quiet street, just a short walk from the center of town. Grocery store nearby helped us stock up on some essentials in addition to the food Gregor had left for us. This was an excellent location for some day trips. We will absolutely stay again someday!

A homey highland cottage

Clava Cottage was cozy and homey, or homely as they say in the UK. Gregor was an excellent host, communicative and responsive. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable. The wood burning stove in the living room was especially nice given the unseasonably cool weather during our stay. The location was walkable to city centre and an Aldi, a Tesco, and a Lidl. The cottage was an excellent home base for our highland adventures. We had a lovely stay.

Great location and space!

Clava Cottage couldn't be better located! A quick walk to the bridge and you are in the heart of the city and great food. My husband and I, along with our three children (14,12,9) enjoyed our stay in Inverness (3 nights). The flat was a great home base after exploring all day. Great family room for us all to eat together and enjoy a movie! Two bathrooms and ample space for the kids (they stayed upstairs). It was nothing fancy but just what we needed. Gregor left some essentials in the kitchen which was very thoughtful and helpful!!

Lovely stay for families close to city center

We were traveling with a friend and our 18 month old. The property was even lovelier than the listing. There were two cribs and two cribs and two high chairs, as well as black out curtains in the rooms which meant our baby slept great. He loved running around the back yard, and we appreciated the outdoor space. The kitchen was very well appointed, and Gregor even left us with some basics so we could feed ourselves breakfast after a late arrival. It was a lovely walk along the river to get to the city center. We were so pleasantly impressed with our stay.
