  This cottage was absolutely fabulous.

  Everything as described and more. There is also a washer dryer which was not stated on the website so this was a bonus as I travelled very light with just a cabin bag. Extra items in the cupboards-some clothes washing liquid, washing up liquid, salt.oil-little extras that possibly others left behind. We did the same-it always help the next person staying. Towels and tea towels provided and also a hairdryer, iron and ironing board. hoover and mop etc too so no excuse not to clean up. The cooker took a bit of figuring out so we phoned the owner who is extremely helpful. I'm used to gas rather than electric so it took too much figuring out. Bottle of wine and some milk on our arrival along with a bunch of flowers. Tea and coffee had been left so we could have a much needed cuppa. Back garden very secluded and has washing line. Big pile of leaflets and maps in the lounge. We used Jacobite tours for Loch Ness and Happy Tours for a day to Glencoe There is a Wetherspoons in town and a few places with nightly music. I would definitely recommend this accomodation. It was a 15 minute walk into town for an average walker and 20 mins for me as I am a slow plodder. Lidl just up the road-5 mins walk-Aldi on the way to town-10 mins walk Property is easy to find on walking back from town-we walked everywhere. A bit noisy in the front bedroom on a Friday night but that is to be expected in the city. Nothing too bad. Do follow the River Ness on the side of the castle up to the "islands"-it is absolutely beautiful up there. (The sports centre and ice rink in same direction) Bus station in centre of town-costs £4.50 to get from airport to town. We booked a taxi for our return though-£25-just in case that helps anyone.

  Had a wonderful vacation.

  This home is absolutely beautiful. Perfect for a large family or several families to share. The area and views from the home are just breathtaking. In the countryside yet only 15 minutes to the city of Inverness. Great base for a vacation. This home is so clean and well stocked. I believe the home is only three years old. Loved the design of the house!! Superior rental property. More than worth the price. Jane the housekeeper is so nice and went out of her way to make sure we had everything needed. Truly did not expect this caliber of a rental home. The bedrooms are set up with 3 upstairs on one side of the home, and 6 on the other. 3 upstairs, 3 downstairs. Perfect set-up if families wanted to share the house. Offered lots of privacy within a wing. Kitchen is a cooks dream. I was worried that the house would be too far out but we were only 15 minutes from the airport and the city of Inverness which was beautiful. We did a lot of day trips from the house. Biggest downside of this home is that once your there you just want to spend time at the house. We had 3 wonderful dinners at the house, 1 being an outdoor barbecue. Highly recommend this home.(ps. we were worried about midges which we were told were up in Inverness in the summer. None at the house. We sat outside till late in the evening enjoying the views. Kids loved the snooker, table tennis, games, tennis court etc. Truly a Scottish Gem.

  Tolle, gut ausgestattete Wohnung, zentrumsnah!

  Die Wohnung ist hell, gut und zeitgemäß ausgestattet und bietet genügend Platz für eine vierköpfige Familie. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich diverse Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Coop, Lidl, Aldi, B&M) und das CIty Centre ist zu Fuß in knapp 15 Minuten zu erreichen. Bei dem Schlafzimmer mit dem Doppelbett sollte aber darauf geachtet werden, dass nur eine große (in UK typische) Bettdecke vorhanden ist - für Deutsche eher gewöhnungebedürftig! Kleines Manko: die Dusche bzw. die Armatur der Dusche quietscht sehr laut (sie schreit förmlich), so dass jeder im Haus mitbekommt, wenn jemand duscht - könnte vom Vermieter ggf. behoben werden! Alles in allem ist die Wohnung sehr zu empfehlen. Great, well-equipped apartment, close to the city center! The apartment is bright, well equipped and contemporary and offers enough space for a family of four. In the immediate vicinity are various shops (Coop, Lidl, Aldi, B & M), the CIty Center can be reached on foot in just under 15 minutes. In the bedroom with the double bed but should be taken to ensure that only a large (in the UK typical) blanket is available - for Germans rather getting to used! Small drawback: the shower or the fitting of the shower squeaks very loud (it literally shouts), so that everyone in the house notices, if someone takes a shower - could possibly be fixed by the landlord! All in all, the apartment is highly recommended.

  A week in Inverness with Witchelm House as our base.

  A light and airy house, almost everything you could need. Clean and bright. Comfortable beds. We used the house as a base to travel out from, so didn't spend much time in it, eating out for the most part. Close to the pretty river walks and a pleasant 5 to 15 minute walk to the city centre where most restaurants are situated. A word of warning: if you want to eat out, book your restaurants well ahead of your arrival. All decent restaurants get booked up well ahead. We'd booked well ahead all but 2 nights and we had problems finding somewhere suitable to eat on the 2 unbooked nights. The house is in a built up area close to main roads, but we had almost no noise problems. Parking immediately outside is time limited but a few yards down the road 24hr parking is very easy. 2 large white vans parked illegally outside the house for most of the week, so I don't think parking wardens appear very often! The blinds in the bedrooms were our only issue. I can't sleep unless it's dark. I always bring an eye mask when we go away, just in case, and I was glad I did. If you don't mind a very light bedroom through the night you've no problem. Personally, I'd prefer blackout blinds, but that's just a personal observation. I would recommend this property unreservedly. Thank you!

  This place was perfect.

  It was everything we needed and more! We had a family of 12, aged between 17 and 82, and it catered for everybody. The snooker table was brilliant and although the cues could do with replacing, we took our own so it didn’t affect us. Tennis, Darts and table tennis also kept us entertained too. There were facilities for a bbq, as well as easily cooking for the entire group. The laundry facilities were excellent. The views were breathtaking - being able to stand or sit out in the back and take in the views of a morning is something I am going to miss! The one improvement I would suggest is to add a TV into the main living room for those families that do like to watch TV, as currently the only TV is in the snooker room, but again it didn’t affect us too much as there were lots of other ways to remain entertained, as we took and played board games around the dining table. I would recommend this place to any large group and I won’t hesitate to book again if we were looking to visit the area again. Jane, who looks after the property, took care of everything for us on arrival and was very kind in showing the first arrivals around the property. She was always only a text away if we needed anything but left us to enjoy our holiday - she was amazing!
