Cosy, clean, efficient use of space, comfortable, good facilities
It was a unique experience and well organised. Good use of the small space. Bed really comfortable. Location peaceful. Self check in easy to navigate.
Too small for anything beyond a couple of nights

Poor customer service & a complete lack of response to rectify issues & faults with property faults.
Location was good.
The facilities would be acceptable if they worked but I had such a bad experience because things were not working nor fixed to my satisfaction
The door handle fell off on entry rendering the door unlockable. I was in fear of being locked in as there was no alternative door. The on-site staff called outa joiner the following day but when I arrived back after a day out the work was still ongoing. I was told the only way to access the room was using a 'crow bar', I was not prepared to do this as I felt it was unsafe and risked damaging the door frame, I had to wait almost 2 hours until the door was useable but it was only a temporary fix. To compound matters the heating packed up. By this time it was too late to find alternative accommodation so I was forced to stay the night. I was provided with a small portable electric heater which was unable to heat the space. I spend a very cold and uncomfortable night. I have no complaint about Angus the on-site staff who tried his best but he was clearly very embarrassed and apologetic about the whole affair. The owner of the property was uncontactable and of no assistance. I have sent them an email asking for some compensation due to the unacceptable condition of the space and their failure to offer meaningful solutions. the owner has not yet responded to my complaint.

It would be helpful to be told the limitations in advance so could be prepared.
The concept is great - loved the idea and the containers. Great location - close to city but quiet & green
Limited communication. The booking.com chat is the only way to contact whoever it is who runs it & answers are unpredictable. The phone number is just an answer phone message which says "use the booking.com chat". No way to contact anyone if an emergency.
Unsecured - the code was classic "don't use this passcode". Apparently possible to secure internally, but with a passcode like that if you were not in it, it was not secure, despite cameras.
Cold - I took in my duvet from the car which I carry in winter anyway. Radiators needed bleeding. Wifi very bad - not able to get TV or stream. Kettle was a travel one, small and very slow boil.
If I went again (unlikely) I would take extra clothing & bedding, and a dishcloth & kitchen roll. Need to work out a way of locking securely - I took stuff with me when out.

A Unique stay experience
Great value for money. Utensils provided became very handy. A convenient self check-in experience, with all the guidances to facilities being provided on an online page
A cloth or coat hook to put away clothes being changed from would be a great addition. The location on Google maps leads you to the property next door, but you have to travel further down that road to take the next left to get to the property and if this location issue on Google was amended, it'd be great

Overall really good!
The location and the views from inside the room and the price was really really good.
The bathroom was a bit small. And maybe we would like it a bit hotter.

could not stay as no heating considering this was november and very cold . it was so dissapointing
did not have break fast . location a bit far out from inverness centre cost 20 pounds in a taxi as we didnt know the area
no heating in the container something wrong with the boiler . so we had to go back in a taxi to the city centre and book in to a hotel which cost us alot more .

Pretty lovely
I really enjoyed my stay here at Glamness. Its a nice place for a short stay or adventure holiday. The area is very quiet, the workers were lovely and a really lovely place for a long weekend. It was a very lovely stay for the money we paid
Just a few minor things that was annoying. the WiFi was really poor the whole time we were here. It would go on and off all the time and was just a pain while watching movies etc. I also didnt like the lack of places to hang things e.g. towels and jackets. Maybe a few wall hangers would be nice? And the lack of sockets, there was 2 sockets besides the USB ones but we didn't have anything USB. Wouldn't recommend if youre big and tall. All in all though I really enjoyed my stay, just had a few minor issues.

Loved the idea of container apartments but there is quite a bit of room for improvement
Location was very nice. Relatively close to Inverness center yet a quiet and green spaciously set up camp ground. Small scale. Ample parking facilities and good internet. All facilities and appliances in the container were functioning properly and it was clean.
The size of the container was a bit disappointing. Since shipping containers come in two sizes (20ft or 40ft), for these apartments they opted for 20ft, which really felt more like being in a caravan than an appartment. In general, all that was needed was there however the way it is all laid out could have been more efficient. Especially since there is no room to put your clothes or some groceries for example. One could opt to not have a couch (and sit on the bed to watch TV or use bar stools) and place shelves in that space or against the wall to facilitate storage room as with the cramped space it already was, adding suitcases and clothes on the couch rather than being able to sit there, is not really contributing to the feel of space. The bathroom is really hard to use: one can not really move in there. However, fout items were unacceptable for me considering the charge per night for this property (this has already been relayed to the owners/ managers so I hope this easy to improve matters are addressed and will not apply for future guests):
1. soap dispenser in the shower was empty on arrival (sloppy)
2. toilet paper was not checked/ replenished every day.
3. I had tried to phone relating to above matters to see if we were required to buy this but noone replied. And I was not the only one that late afternoon to not be able to reach anyone. Contactless, fine but this should not mean no service at all. Especially services that are said to be provided. As a result, I therefore had to buy my own soap and toiletpaper. Thanks to my email later that evening on the matter, it was replenished the next day but that was too little too late as I had already bought.
4. Since they were in the cabin to replenish the two items, why not also provide fresh towels? We were there for 4 days, three nights. I think towels should be replenished at the very least once every two days. Hence, I am not sure if you are there a week, if you need to launder yourself?

Stop & go
The wood where is located, not far from city Centre
The space was too small - we couldn't even open our luggage properly. It was clean, but not spotless. The lights were on motion sensors, which was frustrating when trying to read on the couch - I had to keep waving my arms to turn them on

Great idea, poor execution
Interesting setting in a very nice area
Internet didn't work, messages sent to host went unanswered. Floor was dirty and no cleaning tools available. Entrance to container bit dangerous, could do with some bright paint to highlight bits sticking out.

Spotless, comfortable and quiet.
We were able to find the location very easy, and it was perfectly situated for our trip. The area is quiet, with a lovely private outlook, and we loved the little outdoor seating area. The accommodation is absolutely fabulous and spotless, the bed was super comfortable, and we had with everything we needed. We didn’t eat out, but there are loads of places to eat if needed, and just a short drive away, we just enjoyed relaxing at the accommodation. We will definitely be back, and recommend anyone to stay, such a great little place.

This place was amazing, your own little pad inside a container. Very good value, very comfortable beds. Shops and pub food not too far away.
We stopped here twice on the nc500 trip. Would definitely recommend this place.

Location. If you’re planning the NC500, especially on a motorbike this is a great place. It will be safe as your away from the town centre.
There’s a lot crammed into a shipping container so space is a premium. Fixtures and fittings are a little worn.

It was a unique experience
it was an attractive, functional space, with everything we needed.
The location of this room was such that it had direct exposure to the afternoon sun. When we arrived, it was uncomfortably hot and we had to air it out immediately. It cooled down somewhat but as we had to close the front door/windows with the black curtains to block out the sunlight, it made it harder to get the air to move. We were mindful of the windows open at night in case bugs flew in. There was also a problem with the water temperature of the shower as it ran very hot and couldn't cool down.

Loved it !! Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but the shops were 2 minutes away
Could check in any time as we had access texted very clearly to us before we arrived
Was self catering , so we were able to cook tea in the BBQ area and finish off anything in our little kitchen
The BBQ was not hot enough to fully cook the meat so had to take it back to cook in our own kitchen
