Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site staff or reception — This is a self-catering house, not a hotel. Check-in is via instructions, and there's no front desk to call on.
- Check-in window is set — Guests can arrive only between 16:00 and 23:59, with checkout by 10:00 — you'll need to plan travel times around it.
- One unit only — The property is a single two-bedroom house, so availability may be limited and there's no restaurant or room service.
- Located slightly outside the center — Old High St Stephen's Church is 1.4 km away, so it's a 15-20 minute walk into the heart of Inverness.
