Mary Ann Villa

We had a wonderful time!

Only critics is that citchen equipment is not sufficient for such a big house.

Excellent stay in spacious accommodation well located within 10 minutes walk of Inverness city centre and even closer to a supermarket and a number of excellent restaurants.

Facilities great and beds very comfortable. A couple of minor observations: car parking availability very limited and the keys not clearly marked to identify which door they related too. Overall would highly recommend

Property overall is well presented some of the cookware is a little tired a extra sauce pan and a jug for cooking would have been very helpful but overall we enjoyed our stay

This darling cottage was easy walking distance to town.

We were traveling with another couple and the location, convenience, and space to relax comfortably was wonderful. Our only complaints were the shower upstairs did not drain well and there was no detergent for laundry, but these were minor when all the other positives of the property were taken into consideration.

Everything about this cottage is perfect.

The facilities, location and comfort absolutely excellent and well definitely stay here again.

Beautiful accommodations, centrally located, easy access to the train station, grocery store at the corner.

A superb holiday accommodation , really spacious and a fabulous location for a short walk into the city centre .

The host reacted superbly to a minor plumbing snag ( not her fault ) with a plumber coming out on a weekend almost instantly ( great service thanks ) . I would highly recommend this place and would not hesitate to return for another visit .

On arrival found that 2 of the dining room chairs were unsafe with loose legs.

Also the window in the upstairs toilet shower room wouldn't shut properly and lock. We found the property lovely and comfortable and in an ideal location and would certainly stay again in the future.

Mary Ann Villa is a beautiful spacious property with absolutely everything you need for a very comfortable stay.

We were there for the Loch Ness Etape and it was a 2 minute walk to the start/finish line so perfect location too. We would highly recommend the villa and would definitely stay there again.

Great location for a wonderful stay in Inverness.

Would have been wonderful if the heat worked upstairs!

We really enjoyed our stay here and definitely hope to return.

The house is better than even the pictures portray. The location was ideal for access to the centre whilst still feeling out of the way.

Our only feedback is that the host is not responsive.

A lovely spacious property right in the centre of Inverness - and just down the road for our stay for the Marathon- very handy.

Certainly if we ever come back - we'll be looking to stay here again.

Communication with the Sykes has been abysmal.

I sent many messages that went without response. We had no wifi for 6 of the 8 days and nothing was done to fix it. My guests and I could not do any work and this cost us money. I'm expecting some sort of reimbursement for this lack of customer service. I will also be mentioning this review in google reviews. Another note is that the so called "Step through the well-kept front garden and ascend the stone staircase" is a farce. It was not well kept at all- weeds and un manicured areas was the first thing that met the eye. The back patio was moldy and not a useable space. A 69 pound booking fee is also a joke- that should not be charged.

There were 8 of us staying there.

It was comfortable for all of us. It was in a great location within walking distance of everything needed. The washer dryer combo was a little weird. There should be some instructions on how it works. Overall, very nice place to stay.

Mary Ann Villa was just as advertised.

It was conveniently located in the central district of Inverness. Easy access and timely communication from the host was much appreciated. It was a comfortable and well-equipped home that was a welcoming environment to relax as a family at the end of the day. I highly recommend Mary Ann Villa for family gatherings in Inverness.

We were 6 adults and 2 kids and had a great time couldn’t have asked for a better location,came as advertised and was very clean.

We would have no hesitation recommending this property, probably one of the best short term rentals we’ve stayed in. Thank you

The location is great and updates are really nice.

There were no toiletries, no hair dryer and no way to contact someone for quick responses. The instructions in the place say to hit a boost for additional hot water on a control panel in the kitchen. We were never able to find it and we sent an email with no response. Additionally on our last night there the downstairs toilet began to leak and we did all we could to take care of it. However, I sent an email so that it could be checked and again received no response. So while the place was in a great location and I would love to recommend it I think those things need to be addressed. Additionally there is only seating for four or five people at the most in the gathering area so I would recommend ensuring there is comfortable seating for at least six given the size of the place. Some of us had to sit on dining room chairs to join the group in the room. .

The property was charming and conveniently located close to town.

We were very comfortable and pleased with our stay. I recommend Mary Ann Villa highly.

Location was perfect.

Close to everything but on a quiet court nestled into a neighborhood. Loved walking to the river for a stroll day or night. House was so comfy in furnishings and supplies. Only stayed 2 nights, would have preferred longer.

It is a lovely property.

Very comfortable and roomy! Centrally located to explore Inverness. 6 adults we had plenty of room. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay, close to the centre of town with all the facilities you need.

Mary Ann Villa was the ideal place to stay.

Had plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. It was very walkable to everything in Inverness. The scenery there is just gorgeous and the people are so friendly. If I had to say one thing about it that needed to be addressed, would be that instructions to operate the washer/dryer combo. We could not figure that thing out at all :) If you are going to Scotland, I would suggest staying in Inverness. You can easily get to Edinburgh via a 3.5 hour train ride.

Very disappointed that the owner refused to allow us a change of date given the adverse weather conditions.

The road north was closed to due to flooding and landslides plus we were advised not to travel. As the owner wouldn’t allow a change of date we did stay but only for 2 nights despite paying for 4 nights. Also my son and wife were unable to travel at all due to the severe floods. So all in all a very disappointing weekend. The house was ok but if we’d been our full party there weren’t enough seats either round dinner table (6) or in the sitting room (5). We understand the difficulties if folk cancel but we couldn’t claim on insurance as the events were considered to be acts of god. I think the owner was very greedy and their comment that the weather was ok in Inverness showed a complete disregard for what was going on in the rest of the country!

Great location in a lovely courtyard and so close to the centre.

Extremely comfortable beds and a high standard of cleanliness.

Excellent villa very spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen, beds very comfortable, ideal position for shops,bars and eating out , 5 minutes from the cathedral, nice walks up the river close by , ideal position for visiting other areas, would highly recommend great holiday thanks no problem with parking in front of villa the whole time we was there

The property was even better than we expected.

We had four bedrooms and three full baths and very generous living spaces. The kitchen facilities seemed very new. You could not beat the location. It was so close to the shopping, many restaurants and coffee shops, and a grocery. Would definitely recommend it.

Great stay.

Mary Ann Villa is in a super location, close to the city centre and within easy walking distance from the Ness Isles, lots of bars and restaurants as well as shops. The house was bigger than we anticipated, two beds on the top floor with two bathrooms and then two on the ground floor with a toilet/shower off the main living room. Everything was clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent home with comfortable beds and full kitchen.

Very quiet little court and parking spot in front. The front door keys were a little tricky with an old fashioned key but ok. Overall excellent accommodations and we were a family group of 6. Thank you! Teresa

Great location in Inverness by the Cathedral, quiet and no road noise.

Off street parking a real bonus and the provision of a permit for street parking a thoughtful touch by the owner. Very spacious house, good quality bathrooms, nicely furnished (don't let the pink kitchen put you off!) very well equipped. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

Few things about this cottage - 1.

The door lock doesn’t work. Somehow we managed. 2. Parking spot is there but getting your car to this location is trouble if you mini van or above. We had to be super careful before we could pull in our car every time. 3. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs and only 1 toilet no bathroom on first floor. All the bathrooms were on 2nd floor. Otherwise 1. Cottage is spacious. 2. Kitchen, Bedrooms and living room is spacious. 3. Location is nice. 4. Good for 8 - 9 people.

We loved our stay at Mary Ann Villa .

It was perfect ! The location was great, stores and Restaurants are within walking distance. The beds were comfortable, the house is beautiful. .

Very beautiful house close to City centre 2min walk
