Otter Cottage

Location and comfort of the cottage

Nothing

The cottage was very well presented and clean and the views were brilliant. Our dog loved the water being right outside the door, it's quite popular with locals walking their dogs so she also loved playing with other dogs out there. She'd also love to sit and people watch out of the window. It was our first time in Inverness and will definitely be back as it was a lovely break away and the cottage is gorgeous. There is a train line behind the cottage but you don't even notice it's there, the trains are very few and far between and you hear none overnight.

The location was superb with beautiful views over the canal and sea. Lovely walks from the house along the canal and nature reserve.

A few of the ‘supplies’ had run out eg. Salt & pepper, dish washer tablets. And the boiler tripped out on 2 occasions and had to be reset by self. All very minor issues though!

We really loved this property. It had everything and the view out onto the canal was lovely. It was a nice quiet location with everything you needed nearby, great walks for the dog along the canal and the host very helpful and accommodating. Check in was easy and own parking space is also very handy. It was perfect for what we needed. Just wish we had stayed longer.

Check out a little early but didnt take away from a great stay, and this check-out does seem to be getting earlier everywhere now.

Loved that it was open plan and very spacious. The dogs found there to be plenty of space also.

My only things were the mattress was a bit hard for me and my partner, also we felt like a lamp in the living room would have just set the mood with the log burner.

er unit was a wee bit unkempt - not a major issue for us but I can see that it might impact other visitors more. The cottage has no secure garden area and we have two large dogs who are used to the back door being opened and allowing them to run free - just meant we had to get them on leads before going out - that being said, we had guessed this might be the case and were semi-prepared for it. We loved the location though (with the exception of dog poop left by some irresponsible dog walkers including a lovely present in the parking area - it’s bad enough cleaning up own dogs mess!). Sorry for the rant - the cottage itself was just right for our needs and we hope to come back.

The location is stunning, loved what the owners have done with the property.

Hot water for the bath, was a bit iffy, boiling hot 1 minute and tepid the next. Other taps were all fine with no issues, just seems to have been the bath
