Quaint and Cozy in the North Kessock Hotel
Pros:

The hotel is in a unique location, right on the water with excellent views. The rooms were nicely appointed, clean and modern. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the welcoming quality was everything you'd hope for in a quaint Scottish village hotel. Definitely recommend and will stay here again on future visits.

Cons:

There really wasn't anything we didn't like. I know that a little cliche, but it's true. This is a nice hotel with great character, well kept, clean and well-appointed rooms. The staff were awesome and the location is cool.

Une bonne option pour une étape à Inverness
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien situé au bord de l’eau à 5 minutes en voiture d’Inverness. C’est très calme bien que proche du pont où passe l’A9. La chambre était très spacieuse. Bon petit déjeuner. Le dîner était aussi très bon mais assez cher.

Pros:

First and foremost, hosts Bree and Tor were wonderful! The incredibly welcoming folks. Bree helped me with some anniversary plans prior to our arrival. A charming, comfortable hotel all the way around…guest room, dining rooms and bar were a perfect beginning and end to days full of sightseeing.

Pros:

Not a lot. Location was good.

Cons:

Tissue paper walls. Noise. Thought at one point the people in the next room had mived in. Had to put in ear plugs. Room tiny. Far too small for price. Shower tiny, could hardky turn with banging into something. Would no recommend if you want a quiet night.

Comfortable and convient
Pros:

Great location and right on Buely Firth. Dinner was good, but nothing special. Staff were outstanding.

Pros:

Établissement très sympathique et authentique, situé dans un quartier à l'écart de l'activité touristique d'Inverness. Les chambres offrent une vue imprenable sur le Beauly Firth, et un peu plus loin sur le Kessok bridge. Malgré la présence de la route A9 pas loin, les chambres sont toutes au calme. Le petit déjeuner est formidable et la manager très accueillante.
