Great Place to Stay

We stayed at the Rose Cottage in July 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Gregor answered every question we had in a very timely manner and even gave us a ride to the train station on our last day. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. It was also very helpful to have a washer and dryer to use in the middle of our trip. Thank you Gregor!

Great place in a great little city

Everything about this place was 5 stars or better. One of the most comfortable places we have stayed in and add to this very conveniently located for walking the river Ness to walking in old town. Many restaurants to pick from in a very short walking distance. Thank you Gregor for letting us stay in your great place. Hope to see you again.
