We enjoyed the stay.

This was our last stop on a 2 week road trip through Scotland. This cottage provided super comfy beds and sitting areas. This was perfect for resting up before our travel home. Very clean and well appointed.

Booking this property turned out to be a frustrating experience for us. We mistakenly booked the wrong dates well in advance and promptly notified the hosts. Despite this, upon the intended day of check-in and after confirming with the host, we arrived to find ourselves unable to access the property. The lockbox provided was empty, and subsequent attempts to reach the host via text, phone, and the app went unanswered for an hour.
Feeling stranded and unsure of what to do with our luggage, we reluctantly booked alternative accommodation for the night. It wasn't until VRBO intervened that the host finally responded, albeit with a defensive and unwelcoming attitude. We attempted to discuss a refund due to the inconvenience but were met with further discomfort from the host, who was unnecessarily accusatory towards us.
Moreover, the property's confusing multiple key locks with the same code added unnecessary stress to an already challenging situation. Overall, our experience with this booking left us feeling disappointed and unsupported. We would not recommend this property to others based on our interactions and the lack of professionalism displayed by the host.
We were deeply unsettled to learn that the property had multiple key locks with the same code. This raised significant safety concerns for us, as it appeared that the code might be shared among different guests. This practice felt insecure and unsafe. We absolutely do not recommend this place.

We enjoyed staying at the cottage. It was spacious and clean. We parked in the school parking lot the entire time and never had a problem. Good place for accessing tourist locations around Inverness.

It is right off the main rd and not on the water. Parking was confusing as was the washer/ dryer to operate. I would say this cottage was an ok place to stay. It’s safe and clean but we could not turn up the heat.

Very clean and comfortable house, walking distance to the pub two doors down, and an Esso/small grocery 5 minutes the other direction. The only two suggestions I have for the owners are to clearly state that bedrooms are upstairs and that there is no parking on the property itself (we used the canal parking lot down the street a bit).

Greta time. Lovely property!

We enjoyed staying at the cute cottage! However, the listing implied that it has a view of water—it did not

A very nice place to stay. We didn't have a car, and the path by the nature reserve (starts behind the house) is a pleasant walk to the center center.

We only stayed one night but it was very cozy after a long trip!

Felt like home. Roomy enough for 6 people did not feel crowded. Only complaint is the washer/dryer unit took 4 hours per load and clothes were still wet

We loved our stay at Seacot! After over a week in a small hotel room in London it was so nice to have a whole house to ourselves. The canal walk behind the house was lovely and the house itself was cute and clean. Highly recommend!

My two friends and I had a great time at the Seacot cottage. It was impeccable, beautifully decorated, comfortable and a great location for us. Excellent setting by the water, yet walkable into town- lovely walk along the canal path. I highly recommend! Helpful and attentive hosts too!

Check in was easy. There is parking in back of the house but you can literally par on the road right in front of the house. Hosts were responsive and the location is great!

Only two nights but a pleasant stay that was accentuated by the great inn and pub next door (great food, great drinks, friendly staff)! Easy access entry.

Seacot Cottage is delightful. The Clachnaharry Inn and pub is two doors down, delicious local dishes and friendly staff. Marc and Megan, our hosts, could not have been more helpful or kind. My husband and I had a great trip, a jumping off point to explore the Scottish highlands. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

It was so cozy and comfortable! Best little pub in walking distance.

All great but hard to communicate with Expedia and the host. Everything else was wonderful.
4.8
The property mangers were fantastic with their communications before, during and after the stay. This is an amazing large house just outside of Inverness. All amenities you could want with two bedrooms and a small sting room. Kitchen, dining room and a large sitting room.
Well worth the money!

What a pleasant experience. The stay is in a great location and had all the amenities. Hosts are great to allow us to stay and were prompt in communicating with us. Recommend highly!

We had our elderly parents (80) with us and the house was adequate. The shower would have been better over the bath to give more room in the shower room upstairs. The steps down to the kitchen and utility room wasn't ideal but we blocked the utility room off with the bin (needs a new lid). The house had most of what one needs for a home from home vacation, except we only had one dishwasher tablet for 3 nights! The major downside is that the house is on a very busy road so once we offloaded, we moved our car off the road. Even better if.... prosecco glasses!

Clachnaharry
The holiday home exceeded our expectations. It was clean warm and had everything we wanted. The area is quiet and even though it is a couple of doors down from a pub we did not hear any noise so don't be put off.
It is just about close enough to allow you to walk into Inverness and is perfectly placed for trips down Loch Ness. All in all we had a perfect stay.
