Peaceful Property

This was a welcome sight at the end of each day we journeyed around the countryside. The location is convenient for exploring Inverness as well as a wealth of interesting attractions in the region. Very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were excellent at communicating with us and responded immediately to quickly fix a minor issue. We would recommend the so location without reservation.

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!

Comfortable and Convenient

Stayed here as our family of three and absolutely loved the property. Donnie and Ellie were available as needed and were very welcoming and open and easy to communicate with. The house made a great place to stay for our trip being convenient to Inverness but also a great base for our day trips out to various parts of the Highlands. It was great to come back to the property at the end of the day and be able to relax eating dinner while watching the sheep graze in the fields around the property, even heard the cows in the field above the sheep! The kitchen had everything we could need and the interior is updated and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Inverness area!

Peace of the country close to the city

We had a lovely stay at Drumsmittal School. Donnie was a great host. Greeted us and showed us around. He gave us dinner recommendations and even made our reservations. We loved how spacious the apartment was. It gave us room to spread out and just relax when we returned at night. Our hosts went over the top to make sure we had everything we needed. Even leaving us things to make breakfast. It was so kind. Once again thank you to our wonderful hosts.
