Alturlie

We stayed here for 3 nights!

Property was ideal! It was clean and had everything we could need for our stay! Location was excellent! 5 minutes to centre ! Would definitely recommend it! And we most definitely would book again! I would also like to thank you for everything! Loved it

Lovely clean comfy cosy cottage ,ideal location for visiting Inverness(5 min walk into town ) and the Scottish Highlands .

Highly recommend had a fantastic week stay .No issue parking on the permit street and friendly neighbours .Only one negative would be only a small amount left on the toilet roll had to go out and buy some after a 10 hr journey to get there .

I wasn’t going to leave a review but thought the owner might like some feedback.

Positives: clean, ideal for walking to city centre and down o the River Ness. Negatives: Uncomfortable sofa’s, flat pillows, could do with decorating, minimal kitchen utensils, dishes & cookware. Garden could do with some attention in order for you to sit out in the better weather. All in all disappointed for the money we paid for our stay. A little TLC is needed

Very nicely located in a quiet street, downtown in walking distance!

We stayed at Alturlie in Inverness.

The cottage is in a great location, 5 minutes walk from the town centre. The property on entering looked clean and tidy. However the kitchen was a bit of a let down the cups were all tea stained one of the glasses had remnants of what looked like a smoothie at the bottom, an egg cup with what looked like jam and butter all over it the coffee cafetiere plunger needed taking apart and cleaning, and in one cupboard there were bottles of mayonnaise, ketchup etc all opened and some months out of date! The pans were greasy, the sockets by the cooker were greasy and the oven could do with a clean. In the main bedroom the wooden headboard had a layer of dust on it, more than just a days worth and if We were being really picky the bedding has seen better days the pillows were flat and hard not at all conducive to a decent night's sleep after walking the Highlands.The duvet covers were a bit washed out and looked more suited to a teenage boys room. Also the garden fence on the left hand side is falling and being propped up by two small stakes in the ground a possible hazard if this is being rented by a family with children. The washing line is a piece of fraying blue rope.We feel in some instances that the person cleaning has probably skipped over some things if the property has been left looking clean and tidy and so have not really checked everything or bothered to clean. We didnt leave a review in the Guest book as it was an old Tesco notebook originally having 140 pages in the first review dated 2023 but there's only 25 pages in it now so assume bad reviews are torn out.Having said all of that We did have an enjoyable stay here,we just feel standards have possibly slackened and paying nearly £1000 for the week We didn't feel this was acceptable especially as we've stayed in cleaner cottages through Sykes for half the price.

Alturlie is a lovely warm cosy house, comfy beds, great shower, great big kitchen and dining room.

Location is brilliant, close to the town centre, the castle, two hotels, small shops. Huge garden, highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property.

Clean, comfortable and perfect location to visit Inverness and the surrounding area. Next time we are staying in the area we will definitely try to stay here.

My sister and I absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage!

It was the definition of cute and cozy, making it the perfect sanctuary after a long day of sightseeing. It's truly a place where you can unwind. The location is fantastic. It's close enough to the city centre for easy access, but it's situated in a spot that is wonderfully quiet and peaceful. It felt genuinely restorative to come "home" to this lovely cottage after a day of walking around Inverness. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, central, yet tranquil base in Inverness.

The place was very welcoming and inviting.

It felt roomy and had laundry facilities. Lots of natural light.

Lovely well equiped roomy cottage, quiet ressidential street within less than 10mins walk from the centre.

Comfortable beds and very clean.highly recomend this property.

We had a really lovely time at this well situated and comfortable bungalow.

It was everything we wanted and more if I were to nit pick it would be the tv, not many channels but hay everything else made up for it..

This was our third stay at Alturlie.

The property has everything needed, It is in a central location which is great for restaurants, pubs, exploring the area and beyond and is close to the railway station etc. We would stay here again if holidaying in this area.

From the minute we arrived until the minute we left we loved this property, spotless, comfortable , cosy, large garden and in 5 days never had any problem parking outside with the street parking permit, excellent location just off the city centre in an area my family who live in Inverness say is the nicest in Inverness, so quiet, with clear not over complicated instructions about all we needed to know.

All of the previous reviews are valid, including how helpful the owner ‘Catriona’ was, unfortunately when I tried to add a couple of days the night before we were due to leave I found out how popular the place was as it was booked ha ha! Will we be back, for sure!

We had a great stay lovely cottage very warm and comfortable , very central 5 minute walking distance to town .

T V signal bad, can’t watch BBC and tv too high to watch comfortably , not that we were in much to watch it !

!

Lovely cosy cottage in great central location.

TV reception was flakey at times but streaming through players was fine.

We loved our stay at Alturlie.

The bungalow is in a great position to be in the heart of the City in a matter of minutes, and yet is within easy reach of beautiful walks in the countryside. We had no problem parking, and the bungalow is cosy with most mod cons. Its very clean and the bed was comfortable. A tumble drier might have been a useful addition, and there was no welcome basket upon arrival, which we had experienced with other Sykes cottages. However there was a useful pint of milk and tea/coffee to use when we got there so this is not a complaint, just a comment. I would happily have stayed a lot longer and felt very at home. I would definitely stay there again (and hope to soon).

This is the second time we have stayed in this property, it is very handy as a base for exploring, setting out to visit various attractions and is in an excellent location to access restaurants and bars locally.

We would book this property again.

Everything was to our liking ,the close proximity of the local shops, and town centre was a big bonus.

Peace and tranquility what more can you say.

Dear landlords, We really enjoyed our stay with you.

As the weather was very nice, we were also able to use the garden behind the house. There is only one small minus point for the 2nd bedroom. The bed there is very narrow at 120 cm for 2 adults for a long stay. This should perhaps be noted in the description. But it was enough for our 4 nights. In any case, we can highly recommend your lovingly prepared accommodation. With best regards Nicoll

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

The house was lovely and so convenient for the town, yet incredibly quiet and tranquil. The host was very accessible, and could not have been more helpful and considerate. I would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Alturie cottage was absolutely perfect.

It was very clean and comfortable, with everything you need. Location was ideal, and parking was good too. Definitely will be booking this cottage again for our trips to Inverness. We loved it.

A truly lovely house in a quiet street close to the town centre with all its amenities and attractions.

Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Stayed for 5 nights as solo traveller - everything was perfect: lovely clean and spacious bungalow in great location (5 minutes walk to city centre, castle, river but very quiet residential street), well equipped kitchen, large garden and everything was provided to make my stay comfortable.

Will definitely be back, can highly recommend!

Lovely, spacious property in an excellent location a short walking distance from the centre of Inverness.

Property has all necessary amenities for a good holiday. Only comment/observation would be in respect of the linen and towels provided being slightly tired.

Excellent stay at the cottage.

We were very happy and surprised by how large the garden and kitchen are! The location was also a tremendous plus!

Clean, good beds, easy walk to town, and written instructions how things work.

The cottage was lovely.

Great spot, all the amenities we needed. The owner Catriona was great. Great communication, very helpful and thoughtful. We would stay there again :) Thanks

Great property within walking distance of the city centre.

The cottage was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. On street parking with a permit included. Lots of restaurants and pubs to choose from within minutes of the property. Would recommend and would stay again.

The cottage was ideal, clean and comfortable, well equipped, easy access to the centre of town.

I would recommend, yes.

It was really pleasant stay….

we enjoyed it a lot… very convenient location and facilities were superb.

Don’t be put off when it says parking on road.

We had no problems all week. Lovely base location and coffee shop at bottom of road that gives excellent service. Hosts were very helpful without encroaching on your time. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

A few basics were missing, is loo roll, kitchen roll, oven gloves, however, the cottage was spotless and we had a very good relaxing week.

Lovely wee cottage in a good location too.

Some towel pegs in the bathroom?

Perfect location, with great access to town centre.

Shower failed night 1, replaced day 2 - quick response and service.

I had a long-term stay in Alturlie between March and June 2022.

I absolutely loved staying in the cottage. It was like home away from home. It was very clean and comfortable and it’s location is so near to local shops at Kingsmills, which has a cafe, bakery, post office, deli, chemist etc. and the town centre - less than 10 minutes walk from the cottage. Location is central and usually very quiet. The owners were so helpful and attended to any requests very promptly. Definitely hope to stay again when I return to my hometown of Inverness.

Lovely cottage in Inverness City centre.

Close to shops and restaurants. Very clean and comfortable. Parking permit available for on street parking.

The cottage was beautiful so comfortable and relaxing with everything you need provided for you,the bed was so comfortable got great sleep.

best of all only a five minute walk to shops and if you don’t want to cook lots of choices on just eat.we will definitely be back,Thank you so much xx

We had a wonderful stay - thank you.

The property is ideally located down a quiet street but so close to the centre of Inverness - ideal for strolling to the M&S food hall or the Black Isle Brewery! No complaints other than the kitchen could do with a few extra utensils - bread knife, egg cups, colander/sieve etc

This is an excellent base for visiting Inverness .

It helps that there is a parking space available with the cottage . The house is clean , warm and comfortable . The owners checked in with us by text which was a nice personal touch . The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was just little things we would have liked in the house eg a cafetière , a bread knife and maybe a screen to hang wet towels on the days you couldn’t hang them outside . Otherwise everything else was fine . I just mentioned it so anyone else booking the cottage knows to bring them . Would book again

We loved this holiday cottage!

Catriona was the perfect host, meeting us at the property and giving us great recommendations for places to go and how to manage central heating etc. Really well-appointed house with comfortable beds, great kitchen and lovely shower room. Plus the big back garden was a proper treat so close to the city centre. Cosy, quiet and very friendly neighbours who looked out for us. We would definitely book this cottage again. Thank you Catriona for making our holiday so fantastic!

excellent property in great location for exploring highlands and local facilities.

Clean, light and airy and most cooking facilities available if you want to cook in.

Nice cottage, well located close to the town centre.

Inside was modern and clean.
