About this property

This comfortable family house sits in an elevated and secluded position close to Inverness town centre. Surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and flowering bushes, the private garden offers panoramic views over Inverness to the hills beyond. Just 5 minutes walk from Inverness town centre, Eden Court theatre, Bellfield Park and the lovely Ness Islands.

This spacious house is furnished with the emphasis on comfort and enjoyment. The open plan kitchen and dining room with open fire is the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. While your meal is simmering on the stove, wander outside to the garden to enjoy the glorious views. Comfort is continued in the cosy sitting room, also with open fire; here you can round off the day with a cup of tea or a whisky before retiring to the lovely comfortable bedrooms.

The house comes with all “mod cons”: gas central heating, free wi-fi, Sonos sound system and two brand new smart televisions. There is also a cupboard full of board games.

Please note that the property is accessed by a short but steep garden path, which may not be ideal for eldery or infirm guests.

Even better than before!

We’d stayed at Bellfield Cottage before but not for a few years. It’s always been a lovely house but is now sharper and modernised without any compromise on it’s great comfort and homeliness. We loved our stay. Graham and Margaret couldn’t have been more helpful. Spotlessly clean house with everything you could need and more. We’ll be back!

From Michigan

Beautiful house, easy access to downtown Inverness by way of the River or up a hill to the road behind the house. Everything you need, slept 8 adults no problem. Bedrooms are large and comfortable. Will rent again if ever going back to Inverness. 🤩❤️

About the host

Your host

Graham grew up in Inverness before leaving to go to University in 1986. After 33 years living in Edinburgh, Germany, France, London and Singapore, Graham has recently returned to his home town, where he is currently renovating a historic building "over the bridge" on the Black Isle.

Why they chose this property

Graham bought Bellfield Cottage back in 2006, initially for his own use when visiting friends and family. Since 2009, he has let the house out to visitors. It is a very busy rental property, fully booked every summer, Christmas and New Year and popular in the autumn and spring with return guests, including many performers at the local Eden Court Theatre.

In 2012, Graham bought Kinmylies Farmhouse, which had long been one of his favourite properties in Inverness. This is also now available to rent. (see http://www.homeaway.co.uk/p1091419)

Graham's mother, Margaret, looks after both of his rental properties and delights in meeting guests from all parts of the world.

What makes this property unique

It took me 7 years of searching to find my dream home from home. Bellfield Cottage is one of just 4 houses cut into the steep bank that runs through Inverness parallel to the river. The cottage is secluded enough to afford guests complete privacy, yet with wonderful views and only a short walk to the town centre. We think of it as our "cottage in the city".
