Guests say
Kerrowdown Mill is a well-presented, clean, and comfortable cottage in Inverness, offering a modern stay with a powerful shower, well-equipped kitchen, and lovely views. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the local area, though some attention to the outside area and maintenance details would enhance the experience.
The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with guests finding it modern and extremely clean. However, minor issues like cobwebs and a stain on a mattress protector were noted.
The property is ideally located for visiting local points of interest, with guests appreciating the convenient position for exploring the area.
The cottage is considered comfortable and stylish, with ample storage and a powerful shower. However, suggestions for a larger bed and the mention of an uneven kitchen floor affecting mobility indicate room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities like the well-equipped kitchen are appreciated, but maintenance issues such as a 'mobile' toilet seat and slippery wet-room floor, as well as an untidy outside area, suggest the need for better upkeep.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category.

! Had a few nights here but wish was longer. Well equipped kitchen, shower was very powerful, loads of storage space in the bedroom. Perfect base to explore the area, loved the leaflets about the local area these gave us ideas of what to do. Lovely views from outside area. Would stay again if travelling to the area. Negatives-sorry feel very picky saying these things. Bigger bed needed, bedroom would easily would accommodate a king/super kingside bed. Cottage generally spotlessly clean but noticed a couple of cobwebs and when stripped bedding noted a stain on the mattress protector. Outside area is shared but appeared messy, backed onto garages which were cluttered and untidy with things like broken furniture.

The hinges were quite damaged and it made for a precarious ride! This really does need attention as somebody could have a serious accident. The wet-room floor became quite slippery during use, but fortunately we had taken our own bath mats due to previous problems at other properties. The position and facilities were otherwise very good, and we enjoyed our stay.
