About

Tangle Tower Villa - Inverness

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book

  • Thoughtful welcome pack — Many guests mention a welcome pack with a delicious lemon cake and other goodies, making the arrival feel special.
  • Convenient location — Within easy reach of Inverness city centre, Loch Ness, and the Black Isle, while still feeling peaceful and close to nature.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Minor hot-water issues — A few guests report occasional problems with hot water, though the owner responds quickly to resolve them.
  • No blackout blinds — Some guests suggest adding blackout blinds in the bedrooms, as the light may be bright, especially in summer.
  • Single bathroom — With one bathroom only, larger groups or families may find the setup tight, and one guest mentioned a second toilet would help.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals past midnight aren't accommodated.

“We had a really good vacation at Tangle Tower. Our host, Cherry, was cheerful and did her best to make our stay nice. The villa was fine, with picture-perfect views and every facility imaginable. The location was ideal – a short drive from Inverness, Loch Ness, and Inverness Castle. We felt close to nature with the beautiful firth views. The decor and attention to detail made it feel like home. The welcome pack and lemon cake were pleasant surprises. Despite a minor hot-water issue, the owner addressed it promptly. The only suggestion would be blackout blinds in the bedrooms.”

“The location is really ideal – stunning views and a quiet atmosphere. The owner goes above and beyond with exceptional customer service. The decor is lovely and updated, and the beds and furniture are comfortable. The cottage is spotlessly clean. The local taxi service is excellent and well-priced for getting around.”
