Heather
It was cosy and had everything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was lovely. The location of the house is perfect for exploring all around Inverness. Kate was so helpful and made us very welcome in her lovely cottage.

The Croft house had everything we needed and more and was a warm, comfortable and very homely cottage to base ourselves from for exploring the Highlands of Scotland. Our host Kate was absolutely lovely and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed including some immediate basics like tea, coffee and milk plus a couple of other unexpected extras. We would love to stay again on future highland visits

The cottage was spotless, the bed incredibly comfy, and the views were beautiful! You are surrounded by nature and horses - very relaxing! Great for exploring the Highlands. Kate was warm and welcoming, I would love to return next year as the only down side was that I couldnât stay longer!!
