Wonderful place to stay
Hosts were very welcoming and delightful. Accommodations were well appointed. We’ve stayed at many holiday homes and this was by far the best. Hosts greeted us upon arrival and had provided supplies for breakfast to carry us over to the next morning in case we needed it. Would definitely recommend it!

Comfortable and Convenient
Stayed here as our family of three and absolutely loved the property. Donnie and Ellie were available as needed and were very welcoming and open and easy to communicate with. The house made a great place to stay for our trip being convenient to Inverness but also a great base for our day trips out to various parts of the Highlands. It was great to come back to the property at the end of the day and be able to relax eating dinner while watching the sheep graze in the fields around the property, even heard the cows in the field above the sheep! The kitchen had everything we could need and the interior is updated and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Inverness area!

Peace of the country close to the city
We had a lovely stay at Drumsmittal School. Donnie was a great host. Greeted us and showed us around. He gave us dinner recommendations and even made our reservations. We loved how spacious the apartment was. It gave us room to spread out and just relax when we returned at night. Our hosts went over the top to make sure we had everything we needed. Even leaving us things to make breakfast. It was so kind. Once again thank you to our wonderful hosts.

Perfect Location Just Outside of Inverness
Donnie and Ellie have transformed the old Drumsmittal School house into clean and modern haven for travelers to Inverness. Spacious and comfortable, a better alternative the the cramped accomodations in town, with pasture views and easy driving access with parking. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting our hosts and would certainly visit again.

Fantastic rural space close to everything
Our party of 4 had a wonderful time at Drumsmittal School. It is close to The city center and Culloden. But it is in a lovely pastoral setting with sweet discoveries around every corner. Donnie and Ellie could not have been more gracious and welcoming, and we would look forward to visiting this place again.

Lovely stay
Absolutely love this property!! So close to Inverness (just a quick drive across the bridge), but in the beautiful countryside. We loved to sit in the living room and watch the sheep in the field behind the property and the birds. The property is clean, large, beautifully decorated. The breakfast and other goodies provided by Ellie and Donnie were perfect and a wonderful surprise!! Donnie and Ellie are so friendly and helpful! Wish we could have stayed longer!! If you get a chance to turn left out of the property (instead of right to go back towards Inverness), you will find the most beautiful rural landscape! We drove to Chanonry Point to see the dolphins and would have loved to spend more time driving the countryside. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a central location for day trips (Culloden Battlefield/museum was just 15 minutes away, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle were 25 minutes away), but a quiet retreat to return to for the evenings!

Wonderful place, great area
We were pleasantly greeted and shown around the apartment. Such a cool place to stay with everything we needed, including food/drink. Hosts were very helpful with suggestions for food and other info. (N Kessock hotel dinner was 5 star!) We loved the view of grazing sheep from the bedroom / living area windows. Wish we could have stayed here longer.
