We absolutely loved our stay at Rose Cottage! Leading up to the date Gregor maintained communication and provided any information we needed. He helped us with our luggage; dropping into town for us to catch a bus to our next destination. We met Gregor before we left. He was lovely and cheerful and more than happy to help. We only wished we had read the compendium before the last day. We would've considered Gregor to take us on local tours. The beds were comfy and rooms were cosy.

Hi Grace, It was lovely to meet you and glad you enjoyed your stay. If you're up on Skye and can leave the kids with your folks, go to Elgol and get a boat £50 over to Loch Coruisk and hike up Sgurr Na Stri (467 meters) - internet it and you'll see what I mean.

Great Place to Stay

We stayed at the Rose Cottage in July 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Gregor answered every question we had in a very timely manner and even gave us a ride to the train station on our last day. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. It was also very helpful to have a washer and dryer to use in the middle of our trip. Thank you Gregor!

About the host

Hosted by Gregor

Host profile image
Born locally with extensive knowledge and love of the Highlands, willing to help with suggestions concerning day trips and how to maximise places to visit. The real pleasure for me is meeting people from around the world and sharing my love of Scotland's natural beauty. I am available to do tours with seating for 8 guests. A favourite tour is to Glenfinnan to watch the Harry Potter train cross the viaduct before returning to Fort William, to take the Scotrail train to do the actual train journey. Advance notice required to book train tickets. Skye, Dunrobin Castle and Straths and Glen tours the favourite and recommended tours.

Why they chose this property

It is in a perfect location, recently and tastefully decorated within walking distance of the local supermarket (2 mins), the Waterfront Bar/Restaurant (1 minute) and a short walk into the centre of town down the River Ness with its beautiful views of the Castle and Churches. Fully equipped with super fast broadband/Wi-Fi, 55 inch 4k Smart TV, everything you need to relax and enjoy your stay in Inverness. Also has beautiful enclosed back garden if travelling with pets.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage is beautiful with an enclosed back garden for your pets and for relaxing, BBQing and enjoying the wildlife. E mountain bike and road bike hire with personal driver to drop off, pick and guide routes on request or use for tours in 9 seater vehicle for epic day trips to see the Harry Potter Train going over Glenfinnan viaduct before being taken to Fort William to catch train to do the actual journey to Mallaig (an epic day out).
