In Love with Inverness

Alan and Laura were amazing hosts. We are on our honeymoon and this was the perfect place for us to stay midway through our trip. We were met with great hospitality, instant communication, and some extra touches for our honeymoon stay. Any questions or recommendations we were wondering about prior and during our stay was met with instant replies with great recommendations. All the amenities given were great! We would recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.

Scottish Highlands

Our stay with Alan and Laura was excellent. The description was spot on. The kitchen was very well equipped. The living area was very comfortable. The bedroom was large and the bathroom was great. A very spacious shower with plenty of water pressure. Alan gave us great advice on things to see in places to eat. He even gave us hand written step-by-step instructions on the best way to get back to Edinburgh. We look forward to coming back someday

Top Apartment with warm welcome

Already before our arrival the host family offered help and guidance. After arriving we got a warm welcome and got many useful information. The Appartement was spacious, very clean and with a well equipped kitchen. During our stay we even saw a deer directly from the appartment. If we come back we would certainly stay here again. Thank you very much for this exceptional stay.

Wonderful Stay!

Alan and Laura are excellent hosts, going above and beyond in communication, cleanliness, helpfulness, right down to a nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. Our stay was everything we had hoped for, as the location was very near Inverness without being in the thick of things. The bed was comfortable, as was the nice hot shower. When we visit Scotland again, we will definitely stay with Alan and Laura again. Thanks so much for your kindness and hospitality!

Fantastic place

We stayed two nights at this lovely place. It has everything you need to be comfortable. It was a large space for the two of us. So nice not to be tripping over suitcases and bags. We loved having a location just outside of town to make the driving easier. Alan was so helpful in making plans on what to do.

Alan is a wonderful host, who will go the extra mile. He picked us up from the railway statìon, and advised about things to do during our stay. The annex was spotless, cosy and had all the amenities you might need. A bottle of wine, some sweets and crisps welcomed us. Thanks a lot, Alan and Laura.

A wonderful and quiet place in Inverness

An absolute delight to stay at, the house is in a quiet area with loads of wildlife but close enough to centre of Inverness to not be inconvenient, clean property with plenty of amenities not to mention the wonderful hosts that are wonderful to talk to and more helpful that some people's close friends. Highly recommended!

A dream — absolutely excellent!

Stayed for 3 nights in early June. Alan was there to welcome us and tell us everything about the property and the area. He and Laura are amazing hosts! Extremely knowledgeable and generous with that knowledge. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and spacious. Serene and quiet but just a short drive to downtown Inverness. Can’t recommend Glasphein Annex enough. If you’re thinking about coming to this part of Scotland, there’s no better place to stay!

Absolutely fabulous!

The property was accurately described when booking. So far, it is the best accommodation we have stayed at in the UK and we highly recommend it. The host was very helpful and friendly, going above and beyond. We loved seeing the deer outside our bedroom window! The place was spotless and the bed was very big and extremely comfortable.

Allen was one of the highlights of our trip! He made it such a welcoming time, as this was our first time to Scotland. The place was phenomenal, homey, cute and very clean. They even welcomed us with a bottle of wine. The taxi service exactly knew where the house was located by the name, and it was a short bus ride to City Center and the Culloden Battlefield. Highly recommend!!!!!

You won't be disappointed

Stayed here several nights in October 2023. This place is the best place we've stayed in on our Scotland travels. It is spacious, has a full kitchen, washer/dryer, comfy king bed, and super quiet. Alan showed us the apartment and provided us attraction brochures and provided dining suggestions. It's not in the hub of Inverness activities but everything is just minutes away by car. This would be our first choice of lodging if we were to travel back to Inverness.

I had a very comfortable stay at the property. Alan and Laura are great hosts and very friendly. They went over and above to make sure I was looked after and had everything I needed. The property is very clean and fresh. It has all of the appliances you need from fridge/freezer and washing machine/dryer to fast WiFi and Netflix in both rooms. It’s a 5 minute drive to the nearest supermarket and a 10 minute drive to the city centre. It’s close enough to the city but nestled up a private road surrounded by a large field overlooking the hills. 10/10 would recommend anyone to stay here, and I will be back myself!

Exactly What we Wanted

My wife and I spent four nights in July 2024 at this property. Having owned and managed properties on VRBO for 20 years, my wife and I always measure other properties against what we managed based on our guest feedback and requests. Alan was a very friendly and helpful host. The property was clean, had plenty of bath supplies, coffee for our use, plenty of linens, and many dishes available during our stay. The property had plenty of information on restaurants, things to do, and instructions for all the appliances. The washer and dryer were the best we used on our four weeks across Britain. The property was central to many things in Inverness, but was far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. It was very close to the Culloden Battlefield and Cava Cairns, and was easy to access after we learned how to get the right location. Alan was so charming and always wanted to make sure we were well taken care of during our stay. We loved our time in Scotland and Alan was a huge reason why.

Was a little dubious when booking as the review scores were so consistent. We quickly decided that the previous reviews had been fully justified. Property is absolutely fabulous, as is the standards of hygiene and cleanliness. The hosts clearly pay a lot of attention to details. The welcome was warm, comprehensive and reassuring. We even got an introduction to the resident Roe Doe deer and her two fawns it was amazing to watch the youngsters playing around on the grass being watched by Mum. Really set us up for the day. Wont hesitate to re-book when we next visit Inverness. Thank you Alan and Laura
