This was the cleanest VRBO I've eever stayed at. Communication with the property owners was excellent & immediate. It was well appointed with everything you would need for an extended stay. Within a quick drive from everything, but, private setting in the country just outside of Inverness. Would highly recommend.

The host was very welcoming and showed us around the apartment. It was exceptionally large given a renovated school. For a family of three adults we had two large bedrooms with bathrooms. The kitchen and laundry facilities were great and included a heated dry rack. We unfortunately only stayed for one night but in future it would offer a great base for a week holiday. I would highly recommend it.

Wow! What a brilliant stay at the Drumsmittal School! Donnie and Ellie were the best hosts, the property and home are gorgeous, and we could not have enjoyed our stay more. Drumsmittal School was an ideal location for us to explore the highlands, a short drive to Inverness to pick up fish and chips for dinner, and outside of the city for a peaceful nights rest. The home is immaculate, everything is freshly laundered and cleaned, with food staples provided so we didn't have to run to the grocery upon arrival. We walked down to the North Kessock Hotel for a wonderful dinner one night - it was full so we were glad we made a reservation as the host guide suggested. As other guests have said, the only problem with the stay is that it wasn't longer! Thank you for the amazing stay!
As you can see, spotless and comfortable. We spend many mornings at the couch or table drinking our tea and coffee, admiring the views.
The beds were comfortable and bedrooms were quiet.

Just minutes from Inverness this property was an excellent location to explore the area and we loved that it was a converted school in quiet setting. We stayed in the two bedroom suite and found it to be spacious, comfortable and the amenities thoughtfully designed. I would highly recommend staying at this property!

This property was conveniently located close to Inverness yet at a distance that offered peace and quiet. The house was immaculately kept with plenty of nice upgrades (e.g., new bathrooms, upgraded kitchen, hot water heater, garden). This was perfect for our family of four! Our hosts, Donnie and Ellie, were great, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We would definitely come back here again.

Peaceful Property

This was a welcome sight at the end of each day we journeyed around the countryside. The location is convenient for exploring Inverness as well as a wealth of interesting attractions in the region. Very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were excellent at communicating with us and responded immediately to quickly fix a minor issue. We would recommend the so location without reservation.
