"This is the first time I've stayed at the apartment but the 2nd time I've stayed at this particular house."
I've previously stayed at the upstairs portion of the house. I loved staying in the apartment and I stayed for 28 days so my feedback is a little different than most. The comfort of the apartment was excellent, but, that being said. I would suggest the owner of the apartment coming in and doing an inspection of the property. It needs a little bit of minor maintance. The bedding needs a major upgrade as none of the sheets fit and I would have to fight to get the fitted sheet on daily. The pillows were as fluffy as a cheap motel. There was a major stain on the living room rug that is very unsightly, along with some mold beginning to take hold in the bathroom. Also, if someone is staying as long as I need, more than 2 rolls of toilet paper would be greatly appreciated. I would also suggest that you leave instructions on how to use the thermostat (I spent the first 3 days freezing until I googled the maker of the thermostat to get instructions) and how to use the "hob". Those of use from the United States, are not familiar. I would also suggest that you have quest leave suggestions on some of the resturants that they've dined at so that the next guest have a place they could try to eat. I suggest Hou Hou Mei, La Tortilla Asesina, Zizi, I would also suggest the Cullen Skink soup at Ay Eat and if you want to hear great Scottish music, go to Hootananny but expect to wait a little bit, but it's worth it. I would definately go back, in fact I am in a few days to the upstairs location and I'll probably come back in another year or so. Inverness has my heart!!

"Had a very enjoyable trip to Inverness and Mary Ann Apartment is absolutely beautiful."
Exceptionally clean, well equipped and comfortable and in a brilliant situation only a few mins walk to the city centre. One big drawback however - the apartment appears to have previously been used as a basement and noise from the Villa above is a real nuisance. Every footstep is heard quite loudly and the apartment ceiling vibrates. Our first night and early next morning were awful as the occupants were apparently packing to leave. It sounded like a herd of elephants, clomping about and dragging suitcases around. The second night was fine as the Villa was unoccupied, however once further guests arrived the next day we once again had to suffer the noise from foot fall, and also conversations. I would have awarded 5 stars, but it gets only 3 because of this. Such a shame as it really is a lovely apartment, but we would not return. One little suggestion for the owner - it might be a good idea to have a guest manual with instructions re : using the dishwasher, microwave and cooker (as is often the case with holiday accommodation). We were fine, but not everyone is familiar with differing types, makes and models.

"The property is great ease location to Inverness city center."
The amenities and ease of access to supermarket, shops, restaurants etc. is second to non.
The room was super open and great for a weekend get away.
Lovely place and set up.

"The property was lovely, thank you so much!"
The only thing we could see for information was about the smoke alarms. My spouse accidentally set them off one morning while using her hair straightener, and we could not figure out how to silence them. I tried pushing all the buttons on them, but ended up having to fan them all to quiet them. Not a complaint in anyway as it was just a minor inconvenience, and we were worried about upsetting the people upstairs.
It was a very beautiful place to stay, and we had a wonderful time there. Thank you

"The apartment is lovely and is within easy walking distance of the town."
We were having a lovely holiday until Sunday morning when my husband said that there was no hot water and so could not have a shower. Despite me phoning the 'emergency number on the kitchen wall - George - was not answering his phone. I also tried to call Sykes Cottages and eventually got through mid morning and the lady who answered the phone said that someone would get back to me. Well she did - about 30 hours later. Because we thought that someone was going to come and repair the boiler we put our sightseeing plans on hold for the day so effectually LOST 1 day of our holiday - Thanks. I tried to phone again the following day and eventually a woman from a cleaning company called me back - when we were on a pre-booked tour - and asked me if we had reset the boiler? My reply was that neither of us were qualified plumbers and were not prepared to touch someone else's boiler because if we did something wrong then you would charge us for it. So she went round and fixed the boiler. When we returned to the apartment the boiler was working again. Also, she had changed the emergency number on the kitchen wall to that of the cleaning company. What a shame that someone hadn't done that before we arrived, then we wouldn't have WASTED a whole day of our holiday. So we would like recompense for our lost holiday day. Please send £75.00 to the card number that I paid you from.

"The apartment is beautiful, the photos don’t do it justice."
We spent a lot of time out of the apartment looking at the beautiful area we were in. Everything is easily accessible, with a supermarket quite litterally round the corner! We had the pleasure while we were there to hear bagpipes being played one evening close by & the cathedral bells being rung. It’s a beautiful place to relax after you have been out sightseeing all day. Home from home x will definitely be back x

"Amazing property, absolutely massive, super clean and had everything you could possibly need!"
Stayed whilst working at Eden Court Theatre so the location is also perfect. Highly recommend & would love to stay again.
Maybe worth noting on the check in instructions, the door to the property is to the left of the Mary Ann Villa down some stairs as it was a little hunt to find the door but no issue once I found it.

"We love coming to Mary Ann Apartment, it’s so quirky."
I love everything about it.
On the downside of things there are one or two things would improve it even more, perhaps a small freezer, the television seems to have only a few channels and you do hear if there are people in the villa overhead,
I have recommended it to everyone though. Great and prompt service for any needs, using the telephone contact number in apartment.

To improve our stay would of handy to have a freezer however small. Last of all the holes around the kitchen work top just cosmetic but was a shame with a nice looking place. Hope this is helpful we did enjoy our stay and would consider coming back

"This apartment is very spacious and comfortable."
It is ideally situated for walking into town, along the river and to the bus/train station. Also, there is a supermarket within 5 minutes.
Taking into account its location it was incredibly peaceful BUT for one thing - there is no noise insulation between the apartment and villa situated immediately above, hence we could hear every footstep and chair movement that was made. This did rather impact the serenity of the holiday. If it had not been for this, the apartment would definitely get a 5 star rating.

"The serenity of the stay was somewhat marred by the noise from the residents staying in the Villa above the apartment."
The same residents set off the fire alarm on Saturday morning......Perhaps the acoustics of The Villa could be investigated as it was extremely noisy and at unsociable hours. There was no noise on the Saturday night and it was beautifully serene.

"The flat was very well situated, It was quiet and had off street parking which was free and safe."
The equipment was excellent but we would have appreciated some hand towels as well as the sumptuous bath towels provided. We had a few teething problems with electrical things eg the Neff hob which did not work but was being dealt with. The kettle stopped working on our last day and we did not know why this had happened but we were able to boil water in a saucepan for a hot drink before we left.
We would book this flat again if we needed to be in Inverness again.
Thank you for your feedback its important to us! Our management team are on hand to assist with any issues during your stay. We have since replaced the kettle and the hob was rectified at the time. We are really pleased to read that you had a great time overall and hope to receive you again, kind regards the owners!
