About this property

Drumsmittal School, Black Isle, Inverness

Our recently renovated property which was the old village school, is completed to a high standard and is wonderfully bright and spacious. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms we are ideally located in a beautiful rural location less than 10 minutes from Inverness City Centre. The best of both worlds! Use us as your base to explore the Highlands. Our situation is perfect for exploring Inverness, The Black Isle, Loch Ness, Culloden, Clava Cairns, as well as further afield. If you are arriving by public transport we can pick you up in Inverness. There is a large private parking area outside the house and it's free of charge.

The house has it's own utility room with a washing machine and an electric clothes drier.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including a microwave and a dish washer. If you prefer to eat out the near by village of North Kessock boasts a pub and a tea-room, both of whom serve great food. Free wi-fi is provided, although with so much to see and do, we hope you will relax and switch your phone off!

Great property in a fantastic location. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The house had everything we needed and the sheep in the field behind were a welcome sight peeking over the stone wall.

Wonderful place to stay
Hosts were very welcoming and delightful. Accommodations were well appointed. We’ve stayed at many holiday homes and this was by far the best. Hosts greeted us upon arrival and had provided supplies for breakfast to carry us over to the next morning in case we needed it. Would definitely recommend it!

Fantastic vacation home with wonderful hosts!
We spent two nights at Drumsmittal School and very literally blown away. The house was very spacious, so there was enough room for 4 people. The two bathrooms were a luxury and the facilities were above average. Ellie and Donnie were wonderful, lovely and humorous hosts. They were very helpful with lots of tips and even stocked the fridge at our arrival with useful food. By far one of the best accommodations we have booked in the past 10 years. If we will ever return to the Highlands within the next few years, we will definitely stay with Ellie and Donnie again! When you made your guests feel like home, you did an outstanding job! Thank you for the great memories! 🙏❤️

Comfortable and Convenient
Stayed here as our family of three and absolutely loved the property. Donnie and Ellie were available as needed and were very welcoming and open and easy to communicate with. The house made a great place to stay for our trip being convenient to Inverness but also a great base for our day trips out to various parts of the Highlands. It was great to come back to the property at the end of the day and be able to relax eating dinner while watching the sheep graze in the fields around the property, even heard the cows in the field above the sheep! The kitchen had everything we could need and the interior is updated and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Inverness area!

Peace of the country close to the city
We had a lovely stay at Drumsmittal School. Donnie was a great host. Greeted us and showed us around. He gave us dinner recommendations and even made our reservations. We loved how spacious the apartment was. It gave us room to spread out and just relax when we returned at night. Our hosts went over the top to make sure we had everything we needed. Even leaving us things to make breakfast. It was so kind. Once again thank you to our wonderful hosts.

Het was een mooie accommodatie met heel veel ruimte. Het enige minpunt was het bed, dat kraakte en piepte enorm. Maar ze hebben na mijn melding hierover al gezegd dat ze een nieuw bed gaan kopen en dat ze blij waren dat ik het had gemeld. Het is net buiten Inverness, maar een hele mooie uitvalsbasis om dingen te ondernemen.
