Great Place to Stay

We stayed at the Rose Cottage in July 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Gregor answered every question we had in a very timely manner and even gave us a ride to the train station on our last day. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. It was also very helpful to have a washer and dryer to use in the middle of our trip. Thank you Gregor!

Lovely Home!

We spent 4 comfy nights in Rose Cottage. The bedrooms were perfect for me, my husband and two teens. Our host, Gregor, had put a few groceries in the house for us in case we got in late. So sweet! Clean, quiet and a well-supplied kitchen. The house is within walking distance to anywhere you need to go in Inverness. 10 minute walk to the bus station. And Gregor is just a lovely man!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at Rose cottage. It was very convenient to the centre of town, having the parking permit was helpful, it was a pleasant to have the river so close and much larger on the inside than it looks. The garden was well manicured and a delightful space to spend time in both for morning yoga and evening drinks. The host is super friendly and we will definitely be renting from him again.

Best Part of our Tour of Scotland

Our cottage was perfect. Gregor was the best host and tour guide we could have asked for. The cottage was clean and spacious. The location could not have been better. It was close to the train station and right near the river. We could walk everywhere and had lots of choices for food and shopping. It also had the best shower that we had in our many stops in the UK!!!

Great location, super host

I have stayed at two of Gregory’s properties and cannot recommend them highly enough. Everything is clean and organized. The house is in a quiet neighborhood easy walking distance to the city center and extremely close to the river. There is a washer and you can definitely cook in the kitchen. We didn’t see anything lacking. There is a small back garden with beautiful plants. Gregor is an attentive host. If I come back to Inverness—and I hope I do—I will definitely stay at one of Gregory’s properties.

Kudos to Gregor!

We really enjoyed our stay at Gregor's Rose Cottage! It was a lovely place, just a short walk to the Ness River, and a short walk over the pedestrian bridge to the center of Inverness! Gregor was an amazing host who went out of his way to insure that we had a great time. He took us on a private tour of Culloden, and when our cab to the train station couldn't accommodate us, he immediately came to our rescue and got us to the train station in time for our train. I would absolutely rent from Gregor again!!

Host made our 25th anniversary trip even more special.

This was a really nice place to stay, larger than we needed really for two. Much bigger than it looked online. It's really well located just a short walk from central Inverness in quite little neighborhood. ALDI is very close as are several restaurants and pubs. Best of all, the host is a REAL Scotsman, in upbringing and in spirit, a true Host. When he learned we were in Inverness as part of our 25th anniversary trip, he offered to arrange a bespoke e-bike for us down in one of the most beautifully scenic glens we have ever seen, in person or otherwise. It made our trip extra special. Really top notch host, row house, and location. We just hope we get to go back someday.

Gregor is a lovely host. Always available to answer questions and offer tours. He even gave us a ride to pick up the rental car and included a little drive to a beautiful beach. He provided a lot of suggestions and they did not disappoint since he is from the area. Rose Cottage is within walking distance to shops and restaurants which is convenient. The cottage was surprisingly quiet when the windows are closed. Great little backyard to sit and have coffee in the morning. Gregor provided breakfast (eggs, meat and milk) along with a bottle of wine in the fridge. Very appreciated!

Outstanding stay!

Gregor and Ann are helpful hosts with such grace and kindness. They have an abundance of local knowledge suggesting places of quality where locals would want to visit and eateries to dine and drink in. The cottage is very-well situated in Inverness; it is by the river, very close to but not within the hustle and bustle of it all. The cottage has a working log fire, cozy rooms, immaculate bathroom and toilet but the standout is a wonderfully-stocked kitchen with all the essentials to include butteries and champagne! Rose Cottage is within stumbling distance of establishments with expertly-prepared local seafood, steak and whiskey; not necessarily all in one! One must not forgot to mention the proximity of a large convenience store just across the road eg. for the odd fresh milk! This was a truly memorable stay for comfort, and convenience; for all the simple pleasures in life one savours. Of course we will be returning.

Unbeatable location, best-ever host

We have had nothing but positive experiences with VRBO, but this was our best yet. Two factors in particular stood out. The location simply could not be better - nice neighborhood, a three-minute walk to either Aldi’s or a terrific neighborhood pub (The Waterfront). All that “downtown” Inverness was within an easy 10-15 minute, extremely pleasant walk. Second, the host, Gregor Davidson, was incredibly accommodating and helpful before and during our stay, from having the house ready and open early for us, taking us on a tour of Culloden battlefield and nearby Clara Cairn, to giving us a ride to the airport on our departure. Amazing. Rose Cottage itself was just as advertised, cozy but completely comfortable and homey, with a lovely little garden we enjoyed on sunny days towards the end of our stay. Admittedly, the one and a “half” bath arrangement, both upstairs, were a tad less than ideal for two couples like us, but certainly manageable and really pretty insignificant to our enjoyment of the place. In short, we cannot recommend either Gregor or his property more highly - far exceeded our high expectations. Thanks again, Gregor.

Cool Cottage Stay

Great location! Loved having a washer and dryer and the clothes line outside! House was stocked with all we needed even some wine and cheese! Gregor was always very fast to respond to our questions. One thing that would be helpful though is written detailed instructions for all appliances. We struggled a bit with the washer, dryer, oven, stove and microwave. Eventually figured things out by trial and error. Wonderful stay overall!
