Schoolhouse
We had an amazing stay at the Classroom. The space is beautiful and spacious, the hosts were welcoming, and check in was easy. Beautiful, quiet country location only minutes from downtown Inverness, but be sure to check the map provided by the hosts, as the GPS sent us down the wrong road. Enjoyed the view of the sheep in the fields just beyond the garden, nearby hiking and accessability to Inverness and surrounding sights. Will reccommend to anyone travelling to the region and hope to return in the future!

Wonderful, comfortable apartment with lovely views!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the smartly renovated classroom. The location is the best of both worlds; both conveniently situated off the highway and only minutes to Inverness, yet with beautiful, idyllic country views. Ellie is a warm, welcoming host with a keen eye for detail. She greeted us, provided a quick tour, and kindly stocked the fridge and cabinet with breakfast provisions. We appreciated her thoughtful touches such as a bedside water decanter, sweet treats, and cozy blanket. Thanks Ellie! The apartment is nicely set-up and very spacious, quiet, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen is functional, well-equipped, and organized. The huge bathroom is nicely done with ample space for toiletries; a definite plus when traveling. Two other pluses which made our stay more enjoyable were the heated clothes drying rack and large smart TV. We truly loved everything about this home away from home and highly recommend Ellie’s hidden gem to anyone coming to the area.

Prachtig ruim appartement
The Classroom is een prachtig nieuw ruim appartement op een rustige locatie. Inrichting is geweldig. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Zelfs koffie, thee, melk, suiker, jus d’orange, broodjes en jam. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaren. We bevelen deze accommodatie van harte aan.
