Guest Reviews
- Shainaz (6/5): It was ok for 1 night. - It was cold, drawers were dirty. There was fungus on curtains.
- Katie (8/5): Great! - Loved the cottage, clean, remote, well equipped (towels provided too which was not expected) and perfect for our short break. Improvements: mattress on the double bed definitely needs replacing, could only pick up channel 5 on tv but not a big problem, didn’t need the tv!
- Gibin (8/5): - Road Access is little slippery and signage is also limited
- Verified traveler (6/5): Could have been a better experience - Property wasn’t very clean, unfortunately. Comfortable stay, otherwise. Check-in instructions were fine, but zero response from property when attempting to ask questions, so communication was both good, and not.
- Stephen (2/5): - The accommodations were not comfortable at all. The pillows, mattress, and bedding were old and incredibly uncomfortable. The heat was not on, the bathroom was disgusting and even though it was mentioned several times in the listing, there was no Wi-Fi. When I started to bring to concerns with the owner he stopped responding to me. We left after an hour or two as there was no way we could spend the night in a place life that for the prices we were paying.
- Chatriona (10/5): - Loved the cottage Red Deer. We have stayed in the one bedroom before Brochure. Settee was a bit uncomfortable. No hairdryer although listed as having one, so had to go and buy a travel hairdryer. Disappointed that there wasn’t any hand soap provided in the bathroom Apart from that we would come back as it is very spacious.
- Oscar (4/5): - Property located in a nice environment. But, according to previous comments, there are issues not working since a long time: the quality of the matresses and dishwasher. On the other hand, we were downgraded the first night to a very simple hostel and we did not get a partial refund, and we did not receive polite apologies, but very rough answers. Sincerely, we do not recommend this property.
- Gincy (2/5): - It is a scam. Dont look at the photos. Cottage vs house. It’s the guest house. Small. Scammed.
- Kevin (10/5): - Very clean, very comfortable.
- Thibault (4/5): Logement très sale - Logement très sale ! Photos à l'appui. Le logement n'est pas nettoyé entre deux clients, ce n'est pas possible Wifi non present dans le logement mais à 3 min à pieds. J'ai réservé un cottage avec machine à laver mais l'hôte m'a dit seulement 2 jours à l'avance que je n'aurai pas de machiner à laver car je ne reste pas suffisamment longtempts. Logement à éviter
- chris (4/5): - no heating we were cold,mattress should be replaced, no extra blankets duna cover with holes, disapointing as everything else was OK
- Maria (2/5): - Location was beautiful but amenities promised were not available. Communication was extremely horrible. Beds dirty, bedding stunk.
- Paul (8/5): Could be a 5 star with a little more effort! - If only the owners would listen to the customer feedback from previous guests! All the same niggling issues stop this from getting g a 5 star rating. Dirty pots and pans, a central heating system that needed to be rebooted constantly, poor level of cleaning generally, all have been commented on by previous guests!
- Charity (8/5): - Beautiful and secluded
- Anna (8/5): - Property description indicated that wifi was available, and it was down below but not at the cottage above. Important to know for those that still have to be connected to work.
- Jessica (8/5): - Overall a nice place to stay, comfortable, clean, spacious, and beautiful views. Check in process could have been better however. It was all contactless which is fine, and received emails with the code, but the emails never stated which cabin we were in. We got lucky the first one we went to was the correct one (the code worked). While we were getting situated, another couple had the same issue and could not find their cabin nor could get ahold of anyone. So while it was a nice place to stay, the check in process definitely could be better for people.
- Daniel (4/5): - Unfortunately we found this property to be disappointing with poor quality. We still haven't heard from the owners, despite multiple attempts during a multiple night stay. The property was not as described, the photos used were of the best and most well positioned property, most other properties looked more run down like ours. The most notable disappointment about the property after no communication was the quality of the beds. Hard springs through very old mattresses made for an extremely uncomfortable sleep. The internet that owner written descriptions mentioned was available was not at all available. The property included absolutely nothing, no tea, washing powder or soap. A DVD player was available with no DVDs. I cannot recommend this property.
- Aimeelee (10/5): - Overall I had an excellent stay at the brocks cottage, the cottage was very clean, communication could have been better from Expedia about what the cottage has to offer and how we would gain entry this was sent through email the day of check in. There were a few bits in the cottage that could be with fixing. There is lots to go around the area but you will need your own mode of transport.
- Marina (2/5): - We had a horrible sleepless night at that place because of completely unusable bed. It's beyond uncomfortable, you can't sleep on it. Top it with non-existent wifi, things here and there like dishwasher that were not working, lack of simple basic things like tea or coffee or few extra towels. Nice spot, not a bad cottage that lacks attention and love, and horrible bed that's a trash you can't sleep on. Totally overpriced!
- David (8/5): - The cottage was clean and quiet. The location was exactly what we were looking for. I wish the mattress was better. Book it!
- Dona (4/5): - This is a nice home and a beautiful location. I slept very soundly as it is quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, I had two fairly significant challenges. What made these two things especially concerning is that I tried to communicate to the property manager or owner, and never received a response. First, I was never able to connect to Wi-Fi, even though that was advertised as available at this property. Secondly, I think there is an issue with the plumbing in the bathroom. There is a strong odor that appeared to me to be a combination of sewer gas and earth. I am guessing that there may be a serious leak that should be investigated. I would also recommend a deep clean as there are a number of things in the unit that are outdated and not helpful. Lovely place in a great location that just need some TLC. The bathroom odor and Wi-Fi needs attention ASAP and some steps should be taken to provide the guest with a means to communicate with the property manager. Thank you.
- Linda (10/5): - Great little spot for a country stay, peaceful with a beautiful outlook over the Loch and mountains. You do need a car though but drives around are beautiful
- Andrew (10/5): - Nice, safe and quiet location near Loch Ness. Great communication with booking and follow up after visit. Clean and comfortable. Wish the short-term cottages had laundry facilities!
- Bryan (10/5): Would highly recommend - Cottage was in excellent location, had everything inside that we needed, great communication throughout as to checking in and out and directions, would recommend and will definitely be back
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was a calm and peaceful haven that was also within short driving distance of many lovely places to visit and explore. Dedicated parking by the front door was also a bonus. However, the drive up the hillside to get there was a little bit challenging.
- Charlene (8/5): Lovely stay at firs - We read other reviews after booking and panicked. There was no need as we had a lovely stay at bcc cottages. Its not advertised as a 5 star Lodge so you get what you book. The cottage has a stunning view, it is 15 to 20 min drive from Inverness but a gorgeous drive. The cottage was clean enough, the dishwasher as we had read doesn't work but everything else did. The cottage was lovely and cosy when we arrived and heated up to roasting if the heaters was on. The beds were comfy. Like I said it's not 5 star luxury stay but it's a clean cottage with stunning views. Donald was quick to respond and check in was easy. Inverness is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland.
- James (8/5): Beautiful just needs some repairs - Was a really nice cottage beautiful views beds were uncomfortable, oven didn’t work, coffee machine didn’t work, dish washer didn’t work, not enough towels or dish towels, need to bring everything with you including bin bags, sponges etc nothing in cottages. would go back but perhaps make sure everything working first.
- John (10/5): Home from home - What a great place to stay with elevated views over the countryside with well equipt living arrangements great communication from host Donald
- Chatriona (10/5): Stop Off - Lovely cottage settee’s comfy but a bit low as was the bed. The shower head and rail needs attention as the water was so powerful it tends to spray everywhere. Apart from that and the frying pan dirty in the cupboard it was a lovely short stay. I would book again. Thank you
- Gareth (8/5): - ok place, not luxury by any means however. main bed was quite awful on one side with springs that felt were coming through. Place inside was relatively clean, although we had to clean down sofas on our arrival ourselves. outside seating area very basic. whole place could do with a good tidy up
- Romeel (10/5): Good family accommodations - Spacious and well-apportioned cottage. No 5-star luxury but it has everything you need, and is clean and comfortable.
- Heather B. (10/5): Beautiful retreat - Beautiful hide away. Near Drumnadrochit. Fabulous views from the house. Only down side is., no condiments in the house or welcome pack. So had to go to nearby shop to purchase. Which wasn't a problem as was still open when we arrived. Will be back.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I wasn't too sure when we pulled up what we were in for. When we walked into our cottage it was absolutely awesome even has a washing machine and dryer as well as a full kitchen spa in the bath. Floors are creeky but it adds to the charm. Bed is a little uncomfy but apart from that I'd stay there again.
- Joshua C. (8/5): Comfortable cottage - Clean cottage, as advertised. Major issue in not receiving directions to property. Look for Hostel and go to office to check in. We had one comfortable night for a family of 4.
- Lisa (8/5): Peaceful and central. Great place to stay. - My husband and I and our two kids stayed here for two nights. Great location, peaceful but central to all amenities and attractions. Really enjoyed our stay, kids loved it. Great price, clean and comfortable. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend. Owner friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Comfortable cottage in quiet area, great shower Painful mattress with too heavy and warm duvet
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Spacious and useful amenities. Too bad about the water main break, but it was repaired fast and we were informed well when I contacted staff. No Wifi in the cottage or TV channels so the advert is a bit deceptive. Did not know the youth hostel is the location of these.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice location. No view of lake but that was expected and known. Hot water heater had to be turned on separately.
- stuart t. (6/5): nice cottage but badly needs a refurb - we arrived early and let into the cottage ,then told that the internet was down inn the properties ,which stayed down all week. the cottage was clean and tidy . the beds very comfortable. the only real issues was the water in the shower was hot ,in fact it was too hot and the tap was broken so you had trouble lowering the temperature also the heating was playing up and kept playing up or turning itself off ; ,we did a lovely few days in the cottage it just needs a bit of tlc
- Elizabeth (4/5): - Very disappointing. Lovely setting, but a myriad of problems (unclear arrival instructions, no wi-fi, broken dishwasher, electric heaters kept turning off, electricity went off (had to have money top-up to restart), no instructions, broken tap in shower, missing light globes,only 1/2 roll toilet paper provided etc), led us to leave after only one night (we had booked for 2). A phone call and a couple of follow up emails to the manager to discuss our experience have been ignored. All in all, the worst accommodation experience we had in Scotland. Avoid.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet place for relax with family. Cottage was clean and had all essentals.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Very good Cottage - The cottage was really good and located 6.5 miles away from the main lochness road. The place is suitable for very quite ppl and doesn't suit who wants to go out in the night or looking for any shop.
- Venkat (6/5): - It's a spacious, lovely and a very quiet property ideal for a family getaway but unfortunately it was not clean and smelled awful especially the master bedroom when we entered. The utensils were not washed and there was no provision to clean them as well. The sign boards to the location could have been more visible and easier to navigate.
- Michael (10/5): BCC Red Deer Cottage was a pleasure - The two-bedroom cottage was surprisingly large and comfortable. After a very easy check-in at the main BCC building nearby (serving the hostel and cottages alike), it was a simple drive up the dirt & gravel driveway to the Red Deer cottage.. one of a few cottages nearby. The views were lovely, and it was rather private.. while I heard the occasional car head up to cottages further up the hill, I never heard a sound from any visitors. A short drive to attractions around Loch Ness and Glen Affric. While not a major feature of interest to us, the satellite tv worked well. There was no wifi in the cottage itself, although there is wifi available in the common building at the base of the hill. However, the cellular signal (we were on the Three network) was fine for data/phone access. Ample bath towels, kitchen dishes & utensils, and clean bed linens. Cheerful and bright. I would happily stay here again if passing through the Loch Ness area again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Would have been great in it’s day. - Nice and spacious but the mattress in main bedroom is knackered! Also main shower does not work and was reported in 2017 summer. Few electrical things needs looked at too( mainly kitchen). Location provides nice views but limited access to go walks in walking distance from house.
- Matt (8/5): Family stay - Got there late and had been snowing. As we didn’t have a 4x4 it was difficult to get up the hill but we got lifted up with our bags and cottage was lovely on arrival so made up for it. We had to leave a day early and so Donald (owner) was awesome and very understanding and charged only for the one night, which was incredibly understanding. Will def return in summer - worth the visit.
- Nicola (10/5): Great Loch Ness Get-Away - A great place to stay The cottage was warm and cosy and had everything we could need
- PARESH (8/5): Loch Ness memory to cherish - Owner & staff very helpful, personal attention , Very good location
- Gary (10/5): Excellent cottage - Excellent cottage and helpful owner, lovely and quiet and was near the tourist places to visit.
- Tracey (10/5): Family break - The cottage and surrounding area was lovely, decor and furniture lovely, the only let down was the cleanliness of the cottage
- Richard (4/5): Solitude and Rugged - We arrived late but had messaged the organization 4 days in advance to advise what time we would be in. There was no response to the message We had to go to another establishment in the area to find out how to contact the person in charge. The cottage while lovely looking and spacious was not as clean as expected. There was mold on the ceiling of the shower, the floors needed a really good vacuuming. We were never told that the power usage would be cut off after a certain amount of usage, that goodness it didn't cut out just as we were leaving. Would I recommend this establishment - yes if they were camping.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The appearance of the house was good, however on closer inspection the standard was very poor. The bed had not been changed. The pillows were flat and dirty. The wardrobe smelt musty. The kitchen was full of crumbs. It was sad that the cleaning has let an otherwise good property down.
- Lisa (8/5): - The cottage location was amazing but it was dirty on arrival so I had to clean most of the place before we settled it.
- Sibaji (10/5): Lovely and Spacious Cottage - The owner of the cottage Shawna greeted us with a bright smile, what difference it makes!! The caretaker of the property (Adam I think!) was very responsive to our requirements. He guided us with information regarding the local sight seeing. The cottage was modern, spacious and well-maintained. The only thing is that, the room heating is temperamental, and needed to be attended to, time and again. Overall, 5 out of 5, for the winter season price.
- Taymar (8/5): Comfortable remote getaway - Had a lovely weekend in the silver birch cottage. Great to get away from all. Very clean and modern, comfy sofas but bed a little on the hard side. Jacuzzi bath was amazing and big enough for two. The TV was a bit old so was disappointed as we couldnt connect our play station as no hdmi socket. There is no WiFi in the cottage but there is in the hostel just down the hill. Kitchen is equipped well but please note there is no tea or coffee so remember to take your own. Xx
