It was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The host stocked it with great care and attention to the fact that we travelers are sometimes tired and would like to eat a light breakfast before hitting the road. I had an assortment of cheeses, fruit, crackers, bread, butter, ham, yogurt, coffee, tea, toaster, and more. It was a great place to tuck in for the night...very nice stay.

Smart use of storage in the unit and kitted out with all the amenities you could need. Great lighting all the way throughout the grounds for getting to your car and back in the dark.

The meals we had were excellent well cooked and well served. The evening menu is varied and imaginative. Breakfasts are equally good. The staff are really excellent and so personable. The location on the shores of the Moray Firth is great. The North Kessock is an ideal base to explore the Black Isle and Moray.
