I wanted somewhere quiet and homely for a good rest and North Kessock Hotel was spot on.
Pros:

It is situated in a quiet area with on road parking. The room was very clean with a modern bathroom and a fantastic shower. The beds seemed hard at first but I still had a very sleep, waking fresh and ready for a long drive home.

Cons:

It was a bit small with one uncomfortable chair. The online description of side view of the river means you have to twist your neck a bit to get a glimpse of water.
