Best Part of our Tour of Scotland
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!!!

Unbeatable location, best-ever host
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.

Great location, super host
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.

Kudos to Gregor!
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!!

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!

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.

Cool Cottage Stay
Great location! Loved having a washer and dryer and the clothes line outside! House was stocked with all we needed even some wine and cheese! Gregor was always very fast to respond to our questions. One thing that would be helpful though is written detailed instructions for all appliances. We struggled a bit with the washer, dryer, oven, stove and microwave. Eventually figured things out by trial and error. Wonderful stay overall!

Perfection
We so thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rose Cottage. Even though we were almost 45 minutes behind schedule Gregor was there to meet us and show us through the townhome. He pointed out the different functions and where we would find things. We chatted about restaurants, and about needing reservations. Turned out his reservation idea was important, since getting into restaurants was quite a struggle without. Gregor was also very passionate about Scotland and told us about some areas to explore that most tourists would not know about. His knowledge of and appreciation for nature was impressive The apartment was clean and spacious with a well appointed kitchen. There was one oddity, however, and that is that the main bedroom is on the first floor, and both bathrooms are on the second floor. Kind of weird, but it was not really a problem. There is a full service grocery store and several very nice restaurants within a couple blocks of the home. While we had a car, it sat in front of the house for most of our three day visit. It is just not really needed. We were close enough to all the sites to walk to them, but the home is across the river from the main city, so it felt more like a normal local neighborhood. We had an absolute blast in Inverness, and this townhome really helped make it special.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at Rose cottage. It was very convenient to the centre of town, having the parking permit was helpful, it was a pleasant to have the river so close and much larger on the inside than it looks. The garden was well manicured and a delightful space to spend time in both for morning yoga and evening drinks. The host is super friendly and we will definitely be renting from him again.

Excellent stay
A beautiful, cosy cottage with an ideal location. We had a fabulous time staying at Rose Cottage. It was dog friendly, had a comfy leather reclining sofa and a log burner.. all the things we were looking for in a Winter break. The cottage is tastefully designed and felt like home from home. The beauty of Glen Affric, Nairn, the Black Isle is a few minutes drive away and the cottage has everything that you would need, a supermarket 1 minutes walk away and an award winning bar/restaurant just round the corner on the River Ness. Everyone was so friendly and Gregor is a great host. Very responsive and full of local knowledge regarding where to go. We loved our visit to Eden Court Theatre, a short and beautiful walk along the River Ness. Channory Point is close by so we had a wonderful walk to watch the dolphins and took a road trip to watch eagles (amazing) just outside Inverness. We did a forest walk, coastal walk and enjoyed the scenery driving West and North. Highly recommend the area, the cottage was superb and Gregor a great host for all his tips which greatly added to our short break to this wonderful part of the world. Definitely be back to Rose Cottage.

So close to the supermarket and the award winning Waterfront Bar/Restaurant - food and atmosphere brilliant.

This is hands down one of the best VRBO homes we've stayed in and a whole lot of it is down to how warm and welcoming Gregor is. Gracious, kind and endearing helpful throughout our stay. He is super thoughtful, helpful and goes out of his way to make your stay in Inverness amazing. I can't recommend his place enough! I truly wish we had stayed here much longer than we ended up doing (for a whole bunch of reasons - 55 inch Smart TV with cable so all sports, movies, series, electric reclining leather sofas, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and ofcourse the location. Inverness is incredibly pretty, you can never spend enough time in the Highlands and also, this absolutely feels like home away from home. Two things are for sure - we will definitely come back to Inverness and we will stay at Gregor's place again without a second thought. :)
