This place was amazing! My wife and I have stayed in a lot of VRBOs, and this one is at the very top of the list. No matter how high your expectations, I can pretty much guarantee that this place will exceed them. It's that good. A beautiful house, every detail thought through, wonderful location. This place has it all. If you're planning to stay in the Inverness area to explore Scotland, book this place. You won't regret it.

After two weeks traveling around Scotland and staying at a dozen different self-catering spots, this place was the gold standard. Susan‘s place was perfect: easy and convenient access to a whole corner of the country, impeccably clean and appointed (perfect for our toddler grandbaby), delightfully comfortable and cozy. On our return flight to the US my daughter said, ˋI wish we’d spent more time in Inverness, and I couldn’t agree more…

Susan is a great host. This was comfortably the best property we’ve stayed in. She has thought of pretty much everything. The beds are supremely comfortable, great living room, excellent garden - which can be fully enclosed if you’re travelling with a pooch. Daviot is a great location for exploring in and around Inverness. 10 mins or so to the city centre, 10-15 mins to Culloden, 45 mins to Aviemore.

This place was so comfy, cozy, and clean! Susan was a great host and easy to communicate with. The house was very well appointed and had great amenities. It was a perfect spot to get away from it all, while still being close to Inverness for necessities. 10/10, would stay again!

We were in Scotland with my young children and parents for 12 nights, and our 4 nights at the Old Police House were by far the most enjoyable. It is beautiful, comfortable and in a great location. We would definitely stay here again.

Just wonderful!

Our stay at the "Old Police House" was fantastic! The home was very comfortable and the kitchen was wonderful to cook meals in. The location was also great - nice and quiet, but close to so many things for sightseeing around Inverness. Communication and coordination leading up to the rental was also very smooth and easy. We didn't want to leave and definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable home base from which to explore the area.
