What guests think
At North Kessock Hotel, guests highlight a scenic waterfront setting near Inverness and an on-site restaurant serving very good meals, making this small, family-run inn a comfortable and convenient base for relaxed short stays.
Rooms are generally comfortable, many with lovely firth views; sizes vary from tiny to very spacious, and decor ranges from modern to dated. Service is widely praised as friendly and accommodating, but late check-in, lack of a traditional reception, and after-hours availability can be limiting. Cleanliness is usually good with modern bathrooms noted, though a few guests reported carpets or bathroom fixtures needing deeper attention. A straightforward, small-inn experience.

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 little hotel in the old slipway at base of the bridge on the north side of the Ness just outside Inverness.pleasant staff and proper man sized meals at reasonable prices.If you are heading to John o'Groats and want a quiet,easy parking place to stay hassle free to find its just the job.Beware the Hassock Hamfull meal -enough for 2!

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.

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.

Cleanliness
Many describe the hotel and bathrooms as very clean, though a few report areas needing deeper attention (carpets, behind beds, and some bathroom fixtures). Overall standards appear good but not flawless.

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

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

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.

A great location with views across Beauly Firth. A bus opposite the hotel for easy travel into Inverness. Excellent restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

The hotel was very nice and the staff were good. The shower is too small, it you drop your soap you almost have to get out of the shower to pick it up and we are not big people.

Nice and clean accommodations, people were very friendly, nice location and enjoyed the terrace with a drink. The room had no hooks to hang clothing, a towel or a toiletry bag. The electric shower was terrible, no water pressure and temperature was continuously changing, warm to cold. Otherwise enjoyed the stay.

Locality was amazing, away from city center and overlooking the water. Small boutique family hotel.
