  • "Alice and Amy have designed the most stylish but comfortable home."

    We spent five lovely days in the Bell Tower and will most certainly return. Usually, even the nicest rental apartments have minor flaws. The Bell Tower was perfect in every way.

  • "The accommodation was mostly good!"

    I think the biggest problem was the bathroom - it would be nice if you could fix the shower head and the bath tub was VERY clogged. (When I turned on the bath faucet trying to find the shower nozzle for the first time, a big clump of hair fell out.) The water rose to about my mid-calf while trying to take a shower, which is not very pleasant and ended up leaving the bathroom floor very wet. And maybe grease the stairs too because they are very squeaky, which is not ideal if anyone has to pee in the middle of the night because you have to go downstairs. Otherwise, the accommodation was very clean and good location!

  • "We really enjoyed our stay in this well presented property and would definitely stay here again."

    Great location, close to city centre with plenty of eateries close at hand. However, on arrival it was obvious that the cleaning had not been thorough - mouldy plate of food in the fridge, dirty towel in the bathroom, broken toilet seat and a blocked outlet from the wash hand basin. This did not detract from our overall enjoyment but needed bringing to the owners attention .

    Hi Mr Struthers, I'm so sorry this happened on your stay and we are making sure our cleaners don't forget to clean in future! We are really glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Kind Regards, Alice Property Owner

    Perfect location right in Inverness City centre. Lots of places to eat near by and so lovely to walk along the river.

Make your way up the communal staircase before entering into this quirky dwelling, its open-plan living space being a wonderful social space where you can relax into the leather sofas and enjoy a family film night, or sit together around the dining table with a board game brought from home as you wait for a delicious dinner as it simmers on the hob.

The kitchen with its characterful curved walls is a contemporary spot hosting all the essential utensils and appliances, perfect for packing up a picnic for a fun-filled day.

Moving up the spiral staircase you will find the two bedrooms, the double with feature beams and the king-size with bright and airy Velux windows, each room carries its own quirk, while both offer a wonderfully snug spot to rest.

Everything you could need for a wonderful holiday is just a short stroll away from a beautiful walk to the nearest park with your four-legged friend along the river, to cuisines of all kinds to celebrate a special occasion, to family-friendly attractions including its imposing castle, Victorian market, museum and art gallery and plenty more ways to unravel its history, there's sure to be something here for every taste.

View Inverness from a different angle at Highland Aviation where you can take to the skies on a scenic tour or even a trail flight, or venture to Loch Ness to see if you can spot the mythical Loch Ness Monster for a day out to remember.

The Cairngorms National Park is the perfect way to explore the luscious lands of Scotland, just a short drive away here you can expect to find plenty of scenic spots, nature reserves, outdoor activities and family attractions, or simply spend a day exploring the Moray Firth, home to dolphins, harbour seals and plenty more nature, it makes a fantastic day out for all.

About the location

INVERNESS

North Kessock 5.9 miles; Dores 9.2 miles; Tomatin 15.5 miles.

The Capital of the Highlands, the city of Inverness, is the gateway to the countless delights of the Highlands of Scotland. Towering mountains, dark lochs, great forests and precipitous sea cliffs are all within easy reach. Of particular note is the legendary Loch Ness, which is surrounded by some truly breathtaking scenery, although most visitors are usually on the lookout for something a bit more mysterious! Just outside the city is the Culloden Battlefield at Culloden Moor (National Trust). The site of the last major battle fought on British soil, there is an award-winning display depicting the battle, whilst a walk on the field serves as a poignant reminder of the clansmen who lost their lives. Inverness itself has much to offer, museums, an art gallery, fine theatre and leisure facilities, not to mention shops, pubs and restaurants. The River Ness flows through the city and both the river and neighbouring Moray Firth are home to a diverse range of wildlife and marine life including red kites, along with dolphins, which can sometimes be seen from the shore, or on trips from the harbour.
