The Cottage
Our stay with Gregor in Inverness was fabulous! The Cottage was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and comfortable while also being walking distance to many Inverness restaurants and shops. Having a working fireplace made ready for use was lovely. While the kitchen and bathroom were small, they met all our needs. Gregor was nice enough to have a few things for us in the kitchen for breakfast! Gregor is a fount of wonderful information and history which made out stay even better! We would definitely stay again!

Comfortable property in great location
We really enjoyed the City Centre Cottage. It was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for the six of us. Kitchen was fully stocked and we cooked several meals there. Very much appreciated the wood burning fireplace and the logs that were provided. Just a short walk to the center of the city! Definitely recommend.

Close to stores, bike tour, restaurants, River Ness. Host was very responsive to any of our requests. We hired him to pick us up at Edinburgh and give us a tour of the Isle of Skye. He was a great resource on Scottish culture and enjoyable to be around.

Great home in Inverness
Check in/out was smooth. The owner came by to check on us and offer info on the area. The back yard and porch were wonderful. The location was just across a bridge from the down town area - easy walking to dining and shopping. The home was clean, comfortable and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely Time in Inverness
Gregor was a delightful host-guide. His VRBO was well- situated very near an ALDI grocery store and many restaurants. We also used Gregor's services for several days of touring and he was incredibly accommodating , knowledgeable and a most pleasant person. A memorable stay !

A Wee Gem in inverness
We were two couples staying in the flat. It was clean and had every amenity that we could have needed. The location was a short walk to the downtown. When we arrived we found food items in the fridge for our first breakfast. Very generous! I would highly recommend staying here and we will stay again the next time we are in Inverness.

Great place, perfect location
This place was perfect. Centrally located, nice neighborhood with grocery close by. We were able to walk everywhere. Gregor was amazing and we booked a “tour” with him. We got to see all over the countryside, he was very helpful and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and time here. Extra touches like bread and milk was amazing. Would definitely recommend and if we find ourselves up there again we will be staying here again if we can. Thanks so much.

Highland Tour
This property is within walking distance of downtown Inverness it is close to stores and restaurants. Gregor is a tour guide and is very familiar with the Highlands. We went on several private tours with him and never saw a tour bus at the locations he took us.

Visiting for the weekend.
The cottage was perfect for our needs and made exploring Inverness a breeze as it was an easy 10-15 min walk into the city along the river. The stroll down to Ness Islands was a delight and we enjoyed the hospitality at the Waterfront gastropub which was a couple of minutes from the cottage. There was a local supermarket around the corner which made getting groceries easy (we were without a car on this occasion) Gregor was super helpful and communicative and we really appreciated the welcome provisions. We had the pleasure of meeting Gregor on our departure and he was very pleasant and full of local information. He also offers bespoke tours which we hope to experience on a future longer visit. A lovely stay the whole family enjoyed.

Amazing host
Absolutely perfect home in a central location, a half block from the riverfront and a half block from the grocery store. Also, not even a half block to a wonderful Gastro Pub. Gregor went above and beyond in many ways but especially by taking an entire day to drive us around and show us sights we wanted to see and he wanted us to experience. It's a well maintained home with everything you could need. I highly recommend this property and hope to go back some day.

Best in Inverness
Gregor was great! Loved the apartment, close walking to city center. Very clean and well stocked. Gregor was very acceptable and great to chat with. Beds were very comfortable as was the entire apartment. Loved the sun room for breakfast, great place to bird watch. Very close to McLeod’s Fish & Chips, best fish & chips in Inverness, if not of all UK. Hopefully we get back here soon, and will book again!!

Hospitality Extraorinaire
Gregor has a beautifully appointed home in a central location. The home was clean, comfortable and restful. The back garden and sunroom was such a lovely place to relax and enjoy meals. The closeness to the downtown centre was a real plus. We could enjoy all Inverness had to offer, and then cross the river back to our home away from home. A point of note was Gregor’s kindness when it came to check out. We had a delay and were not able to get out on time. He was generous and kind even though it effected the cleaning staff. Can’t wait for our next stay and have Gregor take us on a few tours. Thank you Gregor!!

Fantastic host
The location is an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. Gregor goes above and beyond for his guests. Having seen his bike tours, I asked him about doing a different tour, which he helped research and arrange. When things out of our control went wrong, he did everything he could to help us work through it and provided an excellent day’s adventure! The cottage has plenty of charm, especially the back yard! Highly recommend this cottage or any of Gregor’s.

Absolutely Perfect in Every Way!
Our host, Gregor, and his lovely cottage exceeded all our expectations! His hospitality went above and beyond, the cottage was immaculate and so very comfortable, and the location was ideal. Our flight to Inverness got in late on a Saturday night, but Gregor was waiting to greet us and made us feel at home right away. The cottage is just as described, and the sunroom out back is idyllic. I can't say enough wonderful things about this property and this host -- we will definitely be back! Thank you, Gregor, for such an amazing, memorable stay!

Perfect Home Base
Loved our stay at Gregor’s. Easy walk to downtown Inverness, quiet street with permit parking (which Gregor provided for us). Right across from an Aldi so we could stock up on snacks and drinks. Plenty of space downstairs to spread out and bedrooms worked for our needs - one couple in the queen, one single person in the double bed and another couple taking the room with twin beds. Like camp! :) French press in kitchen was nice for coffee and Gregor even left us a few food items to get us going (eggs, bacon, bread, milk, butter). So so kind. Thank you for everything!

Perfect Location in Inverness and Perfect Host
Gregor's property is steps away from downtown Inverness with all it's colour and entertainment. He is a great host and also helped us with a wonderful tour of the Isle of Skye. It was a long day but he took us to spots where no tour busses were seen. Our photos of these locations are stunning. He is a hard working, and warm man. We highly recommend his property and his tours. Had we more time, we might have used his electric bike tours of skye. Five stars from Jim Dean Greg and myself. thank you Gregor!

Great location nice size
We’ve never been greeted by an owner before. Gregor was the funniest by far. Our first meeting with a true Scot. He was so easy to communicate with and always made us laugh. Being our first time in Scotland there’s always adjustments how things are done. His place was super clean and even put food in fridge. Parking on street was never a challenge. Loved the backyard and glass enclosed breakfast nook.

About the host

Hosted by Gregor

Host profile image
My name is Gregor and grew up in the area before moving to Edinburgh and beyond for study and work. I returned to the area in 2010 after tiring of city life. I normally work in health and safety or lifting operations but have previously worked in finance, education among others.

Why they chose this property

I love this house because I have transformed it over the last couple of years, which has been a lot of work but also a labour of love. I love its country feel, its country style kitchen looking out onto the mature garden, the living room with its wood burner for relaxing in front of the fire whilst watching movies or simply enjoying a good book and glass of wine. I may be biased and undoubtedly it has been decorated to my tastes, but it has been decorated with comfort in mind, from the sofa, to the beds, to the fire, to the views from the kitchen window to the garden. Even the walk into town is beautiful along the River Ness over the bridge past the Cathedral to the town centre all in under 5 mins.

I love the garden and the birds which are attracted into it.

You can also access the main arterial road routes from here and be outside Inverness on route into the Highlands in under 5 mins. The banks of Loch Ness can be reached in 10 mins by car, the Spa town of Strathpeffer in 20 mins or some of the UK's best golf courses in 30 mins. Some of the Championship courses designed by Tom Morris and James Braid include Royal Dornoch, Brora, Tain, Castle Stuart, Nairn, Nairn Dunbar and Moray - not a bad collection of courses within easy reach for the golfer.

Similarly many of the famous tourist attractions are within easy drive with the Caledonian Canal a mere 5 minute walk away as are most bars and restaurants.

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). Perfect for larger groups with two cottages next door.
