Avis King Street Cottage, in the Centre of Inverness

The cottage seemed so nice when we booked it. We were very disappointed when we arrived. The grounds are not maintained. There are a lot of weeds. We had to go through the yard to enter the first time and we had a lot of trouble closing the fence because it is rusty. When we entered the cottage, there was a strong musty smell. There was a pile of letters on the ground, meaning that no one had been there for a long time. The door system is very difficult to understand and use. The kitchen is good overall and has all the necessary amenities. Apart from the hood not working. The cupboards have not been checked nor the equipment, because we found dirty dishes in the oven. There is a very strong sewage smell in the bathroom. The smell was so strong, that we could not stay in this room without getting sick. The host suggests putting bleach in the toilet, but does not provide it. No other solution was offered to us and the sewage smell remained throughout our stay. The towels are clean, but would need to be changed, as they are very rough. Also, there is a lot of mold in the shower seal that would need a good cleaning. The bedroom and living room are good overall, but there was a lot of dust. The bed is not comfortable, as it is very thin and soft. I would say that the biggest problem with this cottage is really the smell of mold from the carpets and the sewage in the bathroom. Otherwise, the rest is relatively ok. We also had a power outage. Since we no longer had el

This house was the perfect size in a great area. Very walkable to the major attractions. The area is safe. However, there was no hot water at the property when I got there. I let the owner know, and they tried their best, but they weren’t able to fix the issue. I spent 4.5 days without a proper shower. This seems like an issue that could’ve been addressed with a walkthrough of the property before my booking (which was made months in advance). The owner and the maintenance person were very responsive to my messages. Having a washer/dryer in the house was very convenient.

Beautiful cottage in perfect location. Would stay again.

Great location but no parking. App and local cell number needed to book a park sometimes as far as 1 mile away. It is a 2 floor cottage with bathroom on 1st and living room and bedroom on 2nd. Having said that loads of restaurants and take away nearby and easy walking access to many sites. Very well appointed.

Such a cute little place! We loved the amenities and I had a question and emailed and received an immediate response! Only negative was bathroom was downstairs

Wish we could have stayed longer. The location was amazing and the place was really nice.

My daughter and I stayed at the cottage at the beginning of May. It was everything we needed- a perfect location, had all the amenities and it was great to be able to do laundry so we only had to pack carry on and not deal with checked luggage.
