Lovely view of Inverness
This is a terrific slightly remote property near the bridge in inverness. It is super easy to get to town. The owner met us at the house and walked us through the house. Which is fantastic. With a great view of the water. The owner could not have been nicer and more helpful. The house is quiet and well-appointed. We enjoyed the hot tub and there are five large bedrooms for lots of guests and family. We really enjoyed everything about the house. Thank you Gill.

The pictures you have access to on the property’s site, accurately depict the property. Traveling from thousands of miles away, that was excellent .
The house comfortably accommodated ten adults.

Fabulous House
We had an amazing 4 days at this house. The lady that owns the house met us at the property and showed us around which was very helpful. The view is spectacular. The beds are great and the house is in a good location if you just want to chill and a good base to get around the highlands.
