Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Simply the Best!
From the convenient location and parking, to all of the home from home comforts we cannot speak highly enough of this self-catering accommodation. We especially appreciated all of the information provided about local walks, trips out, and the local eateries. It was obvious how much thought had gone into compiling it all. The personal touch from Alison was also very much appreciated. We hope to be back for a return visit very soon. Thank you for a lovely 5 days.

Fantastic
We have had a great week at Bishops Park in Inverness, being met by a lovely lady Alison. The flat was perfect, ideal for us and very clean with everything we could wish for. If you are thinking of going to the location don't hesitate, you will be glad you did.

NESS RETREAT
My husband and I booked this self-catering apartment by the river Ness for four days. The apartment was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with all the comforts of home, particularly the kitchen. It was within perfect walking distance to restaurants, shops and the train station. We could also take lovely walks along the river side and were very close to Eden Court theatre. We would definitely stay in this apartment again.

Stay at Ness Retreat
We had a lovely stay at this apartment in Inverness. It was the perfect, quiet, central location for lots of sightseeing and Alison made us feel very welcome. 10 minute picturesque walk along the river to the centre of town was a bonus. Everything we needed was there at the apartment including lots of information about where to visit and the bed was very comfy and apartment spotless . I definitely recommend a stay here.

The perfect retreat
Ness Retreat, as the name suggests, is indeed the perfect retreat from where to explore Inverness and the surrounding area. The accommodation is well appointed and extremely comfortable. While it is in a fairly central location, close to Ness Walk and a 10 minute walk from the city centre, it is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Alison, the owner, ensured that everything we needed for a relaxed and Covid friendly stay was on hand. The apartment was immaculate and a lovely welcome pack was provided and much appreciated. We had a wonderful time visiting the gorgeous beaches along the Moray coast and the Black Isle in the middle of a heatwave. Perfect! We can’t recommend Ness Retreat and our host Alison highly enough. Just first class. We’ll certainly be back.

Perfect home from home
We stayed 5 days in this apartment. The place is very clean, well equipped and comfortably furnished. Location is very good, about 10 minutes walk from old town. Alison is a perfect host, She was in touch before our arrival, sending all the information we needed, and friendly checked during our stay. Tea, coffee and biscuits were waiting for us. Plenty good books and DVDs on the shelf as well. We couldn’t wish for a better place for holiday in Inverness.

Immaculate and very well equipped apartment
The apartment is situated in a quiet location but only a 10 minute easy walk to the city centre shops and restaurants and the river Ness walks are also close by. There is an allocated parking space which is very convenient. Alison was a very welcoming and friendly host and we look forward to returning soon.

Great location, very comfortable. Plenty sanitizer.
Alison met us with the keys along with hand sanitizer, very welcome in current climate. Plenty sanitizer in flat too. Looks like flat had just been freshly decorated. Very comfortable. Very quiet at night. Parking which is a bonus. Welcome tea and biscuits, thank you Alison. Great location, across the bridge to beer gardens. 10 minute walk to town. Easy access to travel. Hired bikes from the town and cycled to Dores Inn, Dochgarroch and Clachnaharry. Alison also went out her way to check flat when I realised, I had lost the spare car key. Thank you Alison. Great service. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
