Perfect for a family

This house was absolutely perfect for our group of 6- 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids. It’s charming and cozy and the perfect home base for adventures in the highlands. One member of our group fell at a restaurant and spent the rest of our stay in a wheelchair. The house is very accessible and Susan was incredibly accommodating and responsive. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Last minute family holiday

Excellent find for our family. It was clean, and very comfortable. Showers were powerful, beds were very comfortable. Susan was so helpful salting the driveway as it had snowed over night- very magical. Would highly recommend this place and hope to return again.

Home away from home!

The Old Police House was an absolute dream. Susan is a fantastic host who set the cottage up to have everything you need to be cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well outfitted for folks who love to cook (like me!). We could not have been happier with our stay!

Charming Inverness

The Old Police House has history and quaintness paired with all the modern conveniences. We loved our stay here. It is located in a an easy on/off to a main thoroughfare which helped us see many wonderful small villages. Susan, the host, is so helpful and gracious and has a wonderful sense of humor! I would stay a month or longer if I could.

Dream Trip

We had fabulous time at the Old Police house. Location was great. Easy access to Inverness, grocery stores, and all our favorite golf courses around Inverness while enjoying being slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of town. Property manager was awesome. Property was very clean, well appointed with all basic supplies and utensils, and extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend this property if visiting Inverness and particularly if planning to explore the many golf courses north and northeast of the city.

The Old Police House in Daviot (East), near Inverness is a lovely property, 3 King size beds, 2 bedrooms up with a shared bathroom with tub/shower, 1 bedroom main level, 2 bathrooms with showers on main level. Salt, pepper, and cooking oil in kitchen. Dog friendly (dog bed & bowls). Very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Perfect spot to stay in the country and explore the area, lots of golf courses, trails, scenic drives. Highly recommended by these two couples in their 60s who have traveled extensively and stayed in many holiday lets. This is one of the very best in which we have stayed!

Comfy in Craggie

What a nice property and host! Ample amenities and well done renovation of this very interesting former Police House. Easy access to A9. Susan was so helpful during the reservation process and with suggestions for things to do in the area. We enjoyed interacting with her upon arrival and getting acquainted. The kitchen was well stocked with helpful dishes and other kitchen items! Highly recommend this property if you visit the Highlands near Inverness. Beautiful area!

The lovely Police House Daviot Inverness

Excellent stay in the newly converted police house. Every facility you would want. 3 lovely bedrooms and 3 great bathrooms. Susan the owner had thought of everything for us and our dog. Well located just off the A9 good for getting to all places and easy to find. Daviot woods close by for walking and biking. Culloden 10mins by car. Would recommend to all ages. Excellent

Spacious, lovely, 3 bed 3 bath house

This house was about 15 minutes from Inverness. It was quiet and well appointed. There is outdoor seating in the front and back yard. Plenty of parking. Two full bathrooms on first floor and one bedroom. Two bedrooms and one bath on the second floor. If someone can make it up a couple of stairs, this is a fantastic place It had a full laundry which was helpful since it was the end of our trip. The owner was kind and was willing to work with us when our driver got ill the last night. We were able to leave on time but she would have accommodated us, which took some stress off us. Overall, all four of us would love to stay here again.

Prefect stay with a perfect host.

Stayed for a few days while exploring Inverness and the surrounding area. We were close to all. Susan met us at the house. She had turned on the lights and heat, so that when we arrived at night we weren’t coming into a cold dark house. We were two couples. There was plenty of sitting in the living room, kitchen and dining room. We had a BBQ one night. There was a grill and all the tools. I would rent here again, if I’m even lucky enough to get to Scotland again!

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think there is one think more for me to add that other reviewers have not already said. I would just like to confirm that they are right!! We visited six VRBO/Homeaway properties during our three weeks in England/Scotland. This was by far our favorite. We immediately felt "at home"!! Susan does a great job and thinks of EVERYTHING you may need and more. I highly recommend this property.
