While some minor cleanliness and maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found Inveray to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few guests mentioned minor issues such as dusty windows, a sticky stair rail, and some kitchen items not being perfectly clean. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, town, and scenic walks, with stunning sea views mentioned by several guests. Its ease of access to local amenities and attractions contributes to its near-perfect rating.
Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds, cosy log burner, and homely feel of the property. The spacious rooms and well-decorated interiors add to the overall comfort experienced by visitors.

The owner's thoughtfulness is frequently acknowledged through mentions of welcome gifts such as milk, biscuits, Prosecco, and even a present for a guest's dog. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are a courtesy and not guaranteed with every stay.

Itâs the most comfortable let weâve stayed in, the beds and sofas were exceptional. The garden is essentially enclosed (unless you have an inquisitive border terrier who managed to get into the neighbours garden!) and the nest of collared doves outside the kitchen window was a lovely bonus. My main criticism is in the bathroom, thereâs no handheld shower hose attached to the bath and the separate shower is quite small and tight up against the sink so if youâre big (my husband is 6â2) itâs not the easiest to use and thereâs nowhere to put your toiletries while showering. The addition of the hose on the bath would make all the difference for us staying next time. We would definitely recommend the house, the welcome pack was a nice touch too. The carpet in the lounge is quite stained but I guess weâre nearing the end of the season and Iâm sure that would be cleaned ready for next year.
