    The road it is on is very busy and the parking was not convenient.

    The cottage was very cute and not far from the town. Being on the canal was nice for walks. The owners were easy to communicate with.

    Small amount of dust in places. No big issue. Particularly, the fans in the bathrooms may do with vacuuming. Easily missed

    This is very tricky to park the car especially a big car like ours; the road was a little bit « noisy » but we are not used to live in a city

    The house itself was very nice, we felt confortable and enjoy a nice stay; the bay behind the house was lovely

    Parking was an issue when we arrived due to some roadworks ongoing outside of the cottage. However we had no issues once these had cleared.

    The location is second to none and the cottage is extremely comfortable, especially the lounge and beds

    Nothing

    This was an exceptional place to stay. Beautifully clean, everything the five of us could have needed, owners who couldn't have been more helpful or responsive on-line (we didn't meet them and didn't need to) and a wonderful location - do not be taken in by the road at the front of the house because the sea is behind it! Very easy access to central Inverness

    I couldn’t find an extra pillow for my bed, and the one I did have was a bit flat. Some plumbing issues, especially in the upstairs bathroom which created a smell. Shower was quite small.

    Really spacious and well designed house. Really clean and bright inside. Coffee/tea and porridge was there which was super. We did really enjoy the house.

    Perfect location and charming stay.

    It is just a little tricky to find and the description was a bit unclear how close to the water. Also, having to change the thermostat was not easy since you had to contact the property owner to do it remotely. If you wanted to do it in the middle of the night or early morning you had to hope the owner was checking messages. She was responsive though.

    The cottage is comfortable but cozy. It had a lot of charm and located near a pier/lock that was lovely to visit. It had all the amenities needed to be comfortable.

    I wish we could have stayed longer! All of the linens (bedding and towels) were fresh, new and clean. The decor is very charming. The location is perfect for exploring the area. Very comfortable facilities for a couple traveling with two children ( one older and one toddler).

    Great location by the Caledonian Canal
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Two-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 1 night

    There was a rather busy road in front of the house. I could hear cars passing from the bedroom. There is also a railroad at the back of the house but trains rarely pass. I felt rather cold for a while after I checked into the property. It took a while to figure out how to warm the place. I wasn't sure about parking on the road in front of the house as cars use the road continuously. I left the car in the schoolyard as recommended by the hosts. Although this was around 6pm. School has placed a note banning parking here until 8pm. This was a bit confusing but in the end I didn't experience any problems.

    Location of the property was amazing being so close to Caledonian Canal Sealock. The area around Sealock is so beautiful place. There are some very nice walks alongside the canal and by the sea. Walking around here was very enjoyable.I didn't walk or drive to town from here so can't comment how easy that access is. House is big, very clean and orderly. Has lots of space. A family with kids would be very comfortable.

    Parking on the road was a tiny bit tricky because it was narrow and busy. However there was some extra parking behind (this was unfortunately full when we arrived)

    Absolutely stunning place to stay. Very clean. Well thought out. Clear instructions about check in and check out. Will happily stay here again.

    Wildly deceiving

    The pictures of the house are wildly deceiving, we were expecting a cottage on the water front as per the multiple pictures on the profile, instead it was a cottage on a busy main road. Parking is not clear, I tried phoning the owner twice and left a voicemail asking for guidance to park and no one got back to me. The towel in the upstairs bathroom had a smear of what looked like toothpaste on it. Check out was at 10am, at 9:50am there was someone peering into the dining room window from outside which we could only presume was the cleaner. 10am on the dot the cleaner was making her way into the house telling us we had to leave now because there was going to be an early check in and would be arriving soon. I had requested an early check in myself and was offered a 2pm rather than the stated 3pm which I appreciated at the time. We gathered our things and left to then watch 3 of the cleaners children pile into the house. As we drove away we saw the kids carrying cartons of juice that we had left into thier car. Don't mind that, better than it going to waste but wait until we are out of sight atleast. We all felt rushed and put out. Overall it wasn't a great experience from the moment we arrived and certainly won't be returning.

    The interior was lovely and the bed comfortable
