Fabulous stay, amazing food and lovely people

A little odd to start with as was met in a hallway for check-in… but.. rest of the stay was wonderful! Lovely room, very comfortable bed! Stunning food and wonderful service. If we travel that way again we would absolutely book to stay here. Thank you for a really lovely stay :)

Fantastic hotel. Cannot fault rooms, staff or the food.
Kimberley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable room with great views over the Motay Firth, cleanliness needs to improve however - carpet needs shampooing, bed needs pulled out, washed down and cleaned/hoovered behind. Get rid of scatter cushions and cover at base of bed (these dont look to be laundered between guests). I never used the restaurant as VERY expensive. Staff friendly and helpful
Craig, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We spent a delightful night at The North Kessock Hotel during our nine-day road trip around Scotland. This quaint little pub, located right on the water in North Kessock, offers a truly restful and charming atmosphere. Perched overlooking the stunning Beauly Firth, the hotel provided breathtaking views that enhanced our stay. Dining downstairs at the restaurant was a wonderful experience, with a vibrant ambiance that made every meal special. We couldn't fault this experience in any way—truly a highlight of our trip!
Gary, 1-night trip

It was more like a guest house than a hotel. Welcoming and warm. Prefect for what we needed.

A lovely little hotel across the street from the water in a quiet part of town. Great value with a very nice on premises restaurant. Would stay here again in a second.

We loved everything about our one night stay! Quaint room, quiet location on the water. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the food in their restaurant was great!! Especially the made from scratch sticky toffee pudding that i would love to get the recipe for!! 😁 Definately recommend!
Kevin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, staff and views

Very enjoyable 1night stay- we have been before and it’s still as good as the 1st time. Staff very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a meal in the restaurant at night. As our stay was on a Friday, it’s best to book a table beforehand as it gets really busy. Our room this time was a side sea view and very spacious with a walk-in shower- only thing I would say( as an older person) is the shower could do with a rubber mat as it can be a bit slippery
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel and restaurant! Staff were very kind and helpful. Though it’s an older hotel, the place was very clean and the food was excellent! Ate dinner and breakfast here, both meals were very good. The views are also very stunning.
