A wonderful and quiet place in Inverness

An absolute delight to stay at, the house is in a quiet area with loads of wildlife but close enough to centre of Inverness to not be inconvenient, clean property with plenty of amenities not to mention the wonderful hosts that are wonderful to talk to and more helpful that some people's close friends.

Wonderful Stay!

Alan and Laura are excellent hosts, going above and beyond in communication, cleanliness, helpfulness, right down to a nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. Our stay was everything we had hoped for, as the location was very near Inverness without being in the thick of things. The bed was comfortable, as was the nice hot shower. When we visit Scotland again, we will definitely stay with Alan and Laura again. Thanks so much for your kindness and hospitality!

Fantastic place

We stayed two nights at this lovely place. It has everything you need to be comfortable. It was a large space for the two of us. So nice not to be tripping over suitcases and bags. We loved having a location just outside of town to make the driving easier. Alan was so helpful in making plans on what to do.

Any questions or recommendations we were wondering about prior and during our stay was met with instant replies with great recommendations. All the amenities given were great!

Allen was one of the highlights of our trip! He made it such a welcoming time, as this was our first time to Scotland. The place was phenomenal, homey, cute and very clean. They even welcomed us with a bottle of wine. The taxi service exactly knew where the house was located by the name, and it was a short bus ride to City Center and the Culloden Battlefield. Highly recommend!!!!!

You won't be disappointed

Stayed here several nights in October 2023. This place is the best place we've stayed in on our Scotland travels. It is spacious, has a full kitchen, washer/dryer, comfy king bed, and super quiet. Alan showed us the apartment and provided us attraction brochures and provided dining suggestions. It's not in the hub of Inverness activities but everything is just minutes away by car. This would be our first choice of lodging if we were to travel back to Inverness.

Head and shoulders above anyplace else we stayed in Scotland. Everything new and so thoughtfully appointed, a woman had her hand in this. Alan explained things so carefully, can use all the conveniences when you know how to use them. So helpful to be able to do laundry with. Most quiet night’s sleep I can remember in years. Zero road noise, only birdsong, and bedroom window looks on to a tranquil green lawn. Thank you Alan and Laura, wish we had more nights planned in Inverness, like home with no responsibilities.

A dream — absolutely excellent!

Stayed for 3 nights in early June. Alan was there to welcome us and tell us everything about the property and the area. He and Laura are amazing hosts! Extremely knowledgeable and generous with that knowledge. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and spacious. Serene and quiet but just a short drive to downtown Inverness. Can’t recommend Glasphein Annex enough. If you’re thinking about coming to this part of Scotland, there’s no better place to stay!

I had a very comfortable stay at the property. Alan and Laura are great hosts and very friendly. They went over and above to make sure I was looked after and had everything I needed. The property is very clean and fresh. It has all of the appliances you need from fridge/freezer and washing machine/dryer to fast WiFi and Netflix in both rooms. It’s a 5 minute drive to the nearest supermarket and a 10 minute drive to the city centre. It’s close enough to the city but nestled up a private road surrounded by a large field overlooking the hills. 10/10 would recommend anyone to stay here, and I will be back myself!
