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

The restaurant was good, and very busy on a Friday night, but we thought it was quite expensive. Good breakfast. The location is lovely, and very convenient to get to the airport. We'd certainly go again.

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.

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.

Superior Twin Room - NC500

We had the Superior Twin room and the view outside is very pleasant. Large and clean room to accommodate everything for our stay. We stayed on our last night for the NC500. Staff are lovely and generous. Bar is great for decent selection of beers and wines. Pool table is also pretty good.

Great Hotel

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!
