Property was in a lovely setting. Room was small but lovely. Be mindful though, we were told when we checked in that because we'd booked through Expedia we would have to pay nearly £15 each for breakfast. Seemed a bit unfair as we had still booked a room at their hotel and probably wouldn't have known it existed without it being on Expedia.

Lovely boutique style rooms in a gorgeous location with a terrific restaurant and bar on site. I’m so glad we stayed here. It was a perfect start to our visit to Scotland. Beautiful views over the water from the front porch of the hotel. Plenty of available parking. And a bus stop across the road from the hotel if you don’t want to drive. Beds were very comfortable. Blackout curtains genuinely darkened the room. Bathroom was very clean and well appointed. Huge fluffy towels. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in two separate rooms, and both were spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. When our flights were unexpectedly delayed, they were able to accommodate us for an extra night, which made a stressful situation so much easier. The food was also excellent—we really enjoyed our meals. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

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

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!

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

Perfect choice for places near Inverness

We loved our stay at the North Kessock Hotel! The owners and staff were so helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The rooms were a little bit small but overall very comfortable and cozy. We opted to stay a little outside town rather than in central Inverness, and happy we did. Lovely location with great views from the hotel and nice walks in the area. Still very convenient location with easy free parking nearby. We did eat at the restaurant one night and everyone in our group felt it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone staying near Inverness and we'll stay here again.

Great hotel to start the NC500 on my motorbike. Great spot on the shore. Great staff.

My only niggle which is a personal one is that every Scottish breakfast should have Lorne sausage and haggis. Sadly this wasn't on the menu. Still, a very good breakfast!

The bed was comfortable and the views out of our room window was decent. There is no front desk. There is a bell that you ring or you walk into one of the restaurants to speak to a staff member. There is no elevator, so if you have a lot of heavy luggage and depending on where your room is, it will be a bit of a task to get them up the stairs. A lot of small winding hallways. There was noticeable black mold and grime in the bathroom along on the shower wand, shower head and walls as well as the grab bar. Street parking was relatively easy.

We had a good stay. The room was a bit small for 4 of us but neat. Beds were good and bathroom was neat. Expedia customers don’t get free breakfast so we had to pay.

Great stay! Beautiful view, kind and helpful staff, pulled straight into parking right in front of hotel. Not walkable to downtown, but worth it.

I am giving this rating because things came up during the trip and we were running late. The hotel basically said too bad that is when we close for the night. We paid full price as it was charged to our card and we didn’t spend the night. We had to scramble late at night to find another hotel in Iverness. Luckily the local Courtyard by Marriott let us come late even though they were closed. Thank you to them for understanding our circumstances and being accommodating. We checked in about 20min after closing so it wasn’t unreasonably late. Considering this is the hospitality industry we were disappointed. Unfortunately circumstances happen while travelling and this hotel was not very understanding and accommodating. Will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

My room was cozy with a lovely sea view! I arrived late, after having a flat tyre and the manager was very welcoming. Breakfast in the morning was very good.

Lovely old seaside hotel with friendly and helpful staff. We had a delicious dinner and took walks along the waterfront.

The rooms are quiet, with fully modernized bathrooms.

Only about 5-10 minutes from Inverness, and perfectly positioned to explore the Highlands or simply enjoy the view.

I highly recommend this hotel.

The property owners and staff where amazing help for a person who had been separated from their luggage for 5 days! They made great suggestions for shopping to replace my missing items and they gladly agreed to hold my luggage until I could return to their property once it was finally delivered to them. Lovely, supportive team.

Absolutely loved this little hotel as our base for our Highland drives. Great staff went above and beyond for the simplest of requests. For amenities, it was what you’d expect for a small family run hotel - nothing fancy, but everything was just perfect. Location was just outside of Inverness which also turned out to be great - super easy access off of A9 meant quick and easy starts to our day trips, and then a comfy bed to return to each night. Would love to go back.

One night stay.

Small hotel with mostly friendly, customer focused, staff. Nice room with small but adequate bathroom. Excellent food. Bar area not so good, as there is no comfortable seating. Staff were all very friendly except one who was very abrupt when we ‘checked out’.
Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Inn keepers in a typical old British hotel. Upside - quiet room
& the beds were comfy, good breakfast and a great view of the water. Downside - small room and tiny bathroom/shower typical of this period property. However the fryer smell from the busy kitchen downstairs permeates the upper floors. Suggest they close the door to the kitchen from the Inn side of the main entrance to help contain the odours.
