Excellent Accommodations & Host - Highly Recommended in Daviot (East)
The Old Police House in Daviot (East), near Inverness is a lovely property, 3 King size beds, 2 bedrooms up with a shared bathroom with tub/shower, 1 bedroom main level, 2 bathrooms with showers on main level. Salt, pepper, and cooking oil in kitchen. Dog friendly (dog bed & bowls). Very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Perfect spot to stay in the country and explore the area, lots of golf courses, trails, scenic drives. Highly recommended by these two couples in their 60s who have traveled extensively and stayed in many holiday lets. This is one of the very best in which we have stayed! Make sure that you take the Daviot (East) exit from the highway.

Dream Trip
We had fabulous time at the Old Police house. Location was great. Easy access to Inverness, grocery stores, and all our favorite golf courses around Inverness while enjoying being slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of town. Property manager was awesome. Property was very clean, well appointed with all basic supplies and utensils, and extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend this property if visiting Inverness and particularly if planning to explore the many golf courses north and northeast of the city.

Lovely Highlands Stay
We enjoyed this property as it was close enough to everything and yet in the country. The hostess has gone to a lot of work and everything is spotless and looks new. She thought of everything that a guest might need or want- laundry detergent, dog paraphernalia for the dog lovers, extra adapters for our phones. She was friendly and suggested several places to eat and explore! Just the perfect stay!

Home from home just outside Inverness
This renovated cottage is just a 2 minute drive east of the A9 route, on the B9154 in Daviot heading towards Craggie. It's only a 15 minute drive into downtown Inverness and is well positioned for excursions to Loch Ness, Culloden Battlefield and pretty much all the surrounding area. With 3 large bedrooms, each with super king-sized beds (which can be split up to form 2 singles in each room if you prefer) and 3 well appointed bathrooms (good showers), this rental is ideal for a large family or a group of friends. There's plenty of parking on the driveway, excellent laundry facilities (with separate washer & dryer, and a drop down clothes hangar) and a mud room at the back. The kitchen is well equipped and the living room area is spacious. Owner Sue lives next door, is responsive and helpful with inquiries and obviously takes pride in this property. The website photos don't really do justice to this cottage: which was very clean, full of character and benefitted from excellent views across the River Nairn valley. This place was quite a find, offering way more value for money than anything we looked at in Inverness itself and the best vacation rental we've ever stayed at in the UK. What are you waiting for?

Prefect stay with a perfect host.
Stayed for a few days while exploring Inverness and the surrounding area. We were close to all. Susan met us at the house. She had turned on the lights and heat, so that when we arrived at night we weren’t coming into a cold dark house. We were two couples. There was plenty of sitting in the living room, kitchen and dining room. We had a BBQ one night. There was a grill and all the tools. I would rent here again, if I’m even lucky enough to get to Scotland again!
