The cottage was very welcoming, easy instructions for the key lockbox and the decor is bright and cheerful. Lovely biscuits (for us and our dog!), with tea, coffee, milk and bottled water on arrival. Beautifully clean and bright with plenty of kitchen equipment. The garden was perfect for our dog, well enclosed and cared for. The bed was so comfortRead moreable, and there were lots of towels also provided. Very well situated for dog walks and picking up groceries and fuel from the nearby Asda. Hide

Nice little modern home near the centre of Inverness. In a quiet neighborhood but close to shops and to the main roads outside the city for day trips. Garden is small, but completely gated and "Beagle"(dog)-proof. Beds could be bigger, for 2 adults they were a bit small.

This was a great base from which to tour around from, whilst in Scotland, nice and quite but not too far from Inverness town centre and plenty of amenities in and around the local area, really enjoyed our stay here. We were lucky enough to see the dolphins at Chanoray Point on our first visit.

This stay was amazing! Very beautiful house, with a relaxed surrounding. Everything was there, nothing was missed. Asda is only a short walk away. My dogs loved it too, the enclosed garden the most! Can only recommend it to any one going to the North of Scotland!

An absolute gem of a property, in a fantastic location close to the town centre.

Nessies Nest was really great and Allison should be commended for her property and her attention to detail and kindness towards her guests did not go unnoticed.
