We absolutely loved our stay! The home was perfect for our family and Gregor was a fantastic host! We’d stay here again if/when we get back to Inverness!
Great location, easy walking distance to the castle and lots of good restaurants. Everything we needed was provided and a nice starter supply of groceries to get us going. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Loved my stay at Rose Cottage. Gregor was a great host...even left us 'bits and bobs' in the fridge for our arrival. The cottage is in such a convenient location so we had no trouble getting around without a car. Would definitely stay again!
Very communicative host. Convenient location to launch trips to Dores, Dornoch, Dunrobin, Golspie, Cabot Highlands, Culloden, Drumnadrochit, and Urquart Castle. Cozy evenings here after busy days out and about!
The location of the apartment was perfect, being only a short walk to the city center. The house was clean and comfortable and Gregor was a great host. He was quick to reply to questions and made sure we were comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
The property was in a great location for walking the City Centre. Waterfront Pub nearby highly recommended. Gregor gave us a wonderful tour of Skye, as well as Clava Cairns. He is a great historian.,and we learned so much!
Our cottage was perfect. Gregor was the best host and tour guide we could have asked for. The cottage was clean and spacious. The location could not have been better. It was close to the train station and right near the river. We could walk everywhere and had lots of choices for food and shopping. It also had the best shower that we had in our many stops in the UK!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Gregor's Rose Cottage! It was a lovely place, just a short walk to the Ness River, and a short walk over the pedestrian bridge to the center of Inverness! Gregor was an amazing host who went out of his way to insure that we had a great time. He took us on a private tour of Culloden, and when our cab to the train station couldn't accommodate us, he immediately came to our rescue and got us to the train station in time for our train. I would absolutely rent from Gregor again!!
I have stayed at two of Gregory’s properties and cannot recommend them highly enough. Everything is clean and organized. The house is in a quiet neighborhood easy walking distance to the city center and extremely close to the river. There is a washer and you can definitely cook in the kitchen. We didn’t see anything lacking. There is a small back garden with beautiful plants. Gregor is an attentive host. If I come back to Inverness—and I hope I do—I will definitely stay at one of Gregory’s properties.
Host made our 25th anniversary trip even more special.
This was a really nice place to stay, larger than we needed really for two. Much bigger than it looked online. It's really well located just a short walk from central Inverness in quite little neighborhood. ALDI is very close as are several restaurants and pubs. Best of all, the host is a REAL Scotsman, in upbringing and in spirit, a true Host. When he learned we were in Inverness as part of our 25th anniversary trip, he offered to arrange a bespoke e-bike for us down in one of the most beautifully scenic glens we have ever seen, in person or otherwise. It made our trip extra special.
Really top notch host, row house, and location. We just hope we get to go back someday.

Gregor is a lovely host. Always available to answer questions and offer tours. He even gave us a ride to pick up the rental car and included a little drive to a beautiful beach. He provided a lot of suggestions and they did not disappoint since he is from the area. Rose Cottage is within walking distance to shops and restaurants which is convenient. The cottage was surprisingly quiet when the windows are closed. Great little backyard to sit and have coffee in the morning. Gregor provided breakfast (eggs, meat and milk) along with a bottle of wine in the fridge. Very appreciated!
We have had nothing but positive experiences with VRBO, but this was our best yet. Two factors in particular stood out. The location simply could not be better - nice neighborhood, a three-minute walk to either Aldi’s or a terrific neighborhood pub (The Waterfront). All that “downtown” Inverness was within an easy 10-15 minute, extremely pleasant walk.
Second, the host, Gregor Davidson, was incredibly accommodating and helpful before and during our stay, from having the house ready and open early for us, taking us on a tour of Culloden battlefield and nearby Clara Cairn, to giving us a ride to the airport on our departure. Amazing.
Rose Cottage itself was just as advertised, cozy but completely comfortable and homey, with a lovely little garden we enjoyed on sunny days towards the end of our stay. Admittedly, the one and a “half” bath arrangement, both upstairs, were a tad less than ideal for two couples like us, but certainly manageable and really pretty insignificant to our enjoyment of the place.
In short, we cannot recommend either Gregor or his property more highly - far exceeded our high expectations. Thanks again, Gregor.
Gregor was super helpful and amazing. Would love to come back and explore more of the highlands. Water pressure is 10 out of 10 for washing hair btw which was super important after hiking the highlands!
Gregor is a fantastic host who truly wants to ensure his guests have not just a great stay, but a great experience. He’s full of knowledge of the highlands, and more than willing to share his travel tips. We loved staying here!
Fantastic cottage! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Location was not convenient. Not close to any venues. Loose floorboards.Railing was coming off the wall Mouldy walls and ceiling. Carpet needs a good shampooing. Nothing like the description.
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely new decorated cottage, it had everything to make you feel at home and was very comfortable. The location was great, right on the door step to all the local amenities including lovely places to eat.
I would recommend highly and have already booked to stay again.
Really enjoyed staying in Inverness. The property is very central and everything in the city was easily walkable to. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our short break. Would recommend this property to anyone visiting Inverness.
