    Great location. Great chippy just around the corner. Very fun to stay in a trailer.

    The only problem in our stay was the shower. No pressure on the shower and water almost cold.

    Different style of accomodation. Good for new experience.

    The Bathroom was NOT clean at all. The shower looked like it hasn't been cleaned for weeks. The rubbish bins outside were completely full! You could not throw away anything. Wi-Fi was not working. Blinds did not really keep it dark. I was awake from around 3 because of the light and the seagulls. I was surprised that there was no kettle!

    The price and the easy Check-in. Also the beds were quite comfy.

    The area wasn’t the best and the locks on both the caravan and area it was in were quite flimsy so it didn’t feel super safe. The bathroom was passable, but the pressure in the shower was really weak so it ended up being just a drizzle. It was quite noisy at times.

    The location was convenient and the host was very responsive. The bed was comfy and the projector was a nice touch.

    Comfortable bed and cute trailer, but overall not what I expected.

    The bathroom/shower was farther from trailer than expected and was FREEZING cold w no possibility of heat so no possibility of taking a shower even if there had been towels available. There were no towels even for hands although towels were mentioned in the ad. There was no soap in the bottle on the sink (I filled it w some dishwashing soap). There was no one to let us in. We got the code for the key box from a nice man running a fast food place around the corner. A young man delivering food helped us find the proper key when we got the box open (there were two keys in box). Had to ask a neighbor as the place was hard to find!!

    The little trailer was cute and bed was comfortable. The trailer was clean. We got the heat working so that was ok too. The flowering tree in the little yard was an accidental nice touch. There was parking not too far away as stated.

    The bed was too soft (but this may be subjective), bathroom not very clean and comfortable.

    It was the cheapest option in the city and the quality matched it. The staff was quite helpful and responded promptly.

    The room smelled like someone were smoking inside before us. The bathroom is outside. We did not sleep there. I do not recomend the place. At the end it look like in the pictures or a little bit worst.

    We left the place without sleeping there…

    Cold and scary

    Nothing, I couldn’t find the property as it was not on street advertise it was off grant street, on entrance it was dark and he mention its caravan, but I’m lucky to have deluxe suite. There’s no toilet , the toilet was outside the room in a yard and it was quite dark.

    Everything! The caravan is dirty with no inside water. The only kitchenware they have are 2 mugs and a small microwave, nothing else. Outside toilet across an open courtyard. The shower cubicle wall was covered in green mould and the other wall had a rice of sterling board covering goodness knows what.

    Absolutely nothing to like

    The shower taps a bit weird but we figured it out kinda, I reckon access to a small fridge would also be nice or a kettle

    The whole caravan was very comfy , easy to get key from outside the fence and it was close to everything via walking

    Booking.com entry said the accommodation had a private bathroom. I assumed that meant in the caravan, but it was shared with the couple staying in the building opposite, the "Ole Creepy Chapel" and was down a wee path over pebbles off a kind of courtyard area. That should have been mentioned. The awful shiny purple satin-like sheet on the bed - it wouldn't stay on!

    Location was passable for me - a rough-looking area of Inverness but OK for my purpose, visiting an old pal in a care home. Castle Kitchen takeaway round the corner was excellent, and its proprietor Mohammad superb. The Nip Inn bar on Grant St was also very welcoming but very quiet.

    Sadly this caravan fell way below the standard I expected for a property to be on booking.com. To start the only facility in the caravan was a microwave, there was no kettle. The heater that was in was inadequate especially when the real feel temp outside was -6 most of the windows had a draft coming through. There was also a leak above the seating area. With the shower and toilet, it was not a pleasant area very rough and very cold and not a convenient location to where the caravan was situated. If it wasn't for the fact I had no way of travelling home due to it being new years day I would have left after the first night.

    The only part of the stay that I enjoyed was the secured area it was in

    Maybe the caravan would be better choice in a warmer time of the year. Same thing with the bathroom wich was seperatly from the caravan. I wasn't sure about the sheets clenliness.

    I really liked the idea of the caravan, it was uniqe. The projector, the light and the electric fire place made it feel luxurious. It's quiet enough but still close to the city center. And the host was super nice and accomodating.
