Moorhen Lodge, North Kessock

We had an amazing week in a stunning Log Cabin ,we were sad to leave . It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, the owners Helen and David were lovely and there on site if we needed anything. We saw pheasants a Pine Martin and a red squirrel outside our window , its so peaceful in the woods stunning setting. Although a long drive from Newcastle it was well worth it. Some wonderful places to visit ,excellent food ,everywhere we went people really friendly ,our dog enjoyed the lovely beaches. We would highly recommend this beautiful place. Thanks again. Sharon Phil and Billy the cockapoo.

Cant believe we were 10 mins away from Inverness. This peaceful perfect cabin, surrounded by nature in abundance, was a much needed break for us. We were brave to follow the instructions given to us by David & Helen & not the satnav, as you will end up going around in circles. Had the best nights sleep in a while & loved waking up to the red squirrels & finches galore on the feeder. Thank you Helen & David for sharing your cabin to us & providing pretty much everything we needed ! Cant wait to return Lizzie, Tim & Jessie

Absolutely beautiful cabin. The area was perfect. Secluded, quiet and peaceful. However, shops were just a 10 minute drive away. The cabin and surrounding woods were spotless. As was the hot tub. Plenty of forest walks for the dog, and lots of wildlife to see from the cabin window. We particularly liked watching the squirrels. David & Helen were just a text or phone call away if we needed anything. We loved our time at Moorhen Lodge, and are now home feeling refreshed and well rested. We would definitely recommend a visit.

If you want peace and quiet this is that place in a wood with plenty of wild ... If you want peace and quiet this is that place in a wood with plenty of wild life and both owners so friendly and helpful nothing is to much bother

Holiday was absolutely fantastic. The log cabin was everything you could ask for, spotless, comfortable, everything at hand that is needed and more. The peace and quiet is perfect if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. Plenty of places to visit and amazing views. It's good to waken in the morning and watch the birds and red squirrels eating off the feeders. The hosts go far and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and ask you to contact them if anything is required. We will definitely return to Moorhen lodge in the future Karen and John

Moorhen lodge had everything you needed for your stay. The trees were bustling with wildlife that you can watch from the lodge and hot tub. The lodge was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. The setting of the lodge is amazing and so peaceful for a restful relaxing holiday.

Great property with everything you need in a brilliant location and with amazing service from the owner. Thank you!

A lovely property in a quiet and secluded woodland. Wonderful hosts who were on hand if needed but in no way intrusive. We will be back!

Perfect holidays, beautiful cabin tastefully decorated and very cosy. Good quality furnishings and appliances, very comfortable beds and pillows .The owners Helen and David were very nice and accomodating . Just one suggestion adding one more armchair in the lounge would seat 4 adults more comfortably. Thank you very much

Absolutely wonderful, Helen and David have made moorhen perfect! ! Its absolutely stunning, everything you can think of is included, the hot tub is well maintained and again everything provided. The grounds are so nice and wildlife is encouraged with the feeders so you can sit and enjoy the huge amount of different birds and red squirrels. Location wise, its brilliant, everything is close by and easily accessible, we run out of time to visit things! In our week we visited Cawdor castle, fort George, landmark theme park, Inverness museum and shopping, Loch Ness, Nairn beach absolutely stunning Tesco is two minutes away for all your shopping. So no need to cart everything in the car on your way!!

The lodge is wonderful. Better than I anticipated. Extremely clean and lots of helpful amenities. The hot tub is lush and is exactly what is needed after a day full of adventures. I look forward to returning

An amazing, immaculate & very clean log cabin in a beautiful peaceful setting in woodland surrounded by wildlife. Helen & David, the owners, are helpful & friendly. Thoroughly recommend.

The cabin and surroundings where amazing. We wish that we would of booked 2 weeks there, we didn't want to come home.Scotland is a wonderfull place and so are the people.helen and dave were brilliant hosts. Overall a truly Amazing holiday,we will be back next year hopefully.

Amazing! The property was beautiful, clean and had literally everything we could have ever needed. Helen was friendly and available if we needed anything.

We had a wonderful New Year at Moorhen Lodge. It is a wonderful place to escape to. Our giant pup loved the wildlife, walks and beaches. Our kids 10 & 8 loved hunting for Dolphins and lazing in the hot tub & the WiFi. My husband and I loved the absolute peace and comfort while watching the wide variety of birds from our window. It is a fabulous Lodge, they have thought of everything and were on hand if needed without invading our holiday in any way. We are planning to go back. The lodge is so cosy with all the facilities of home. The beds were comfortable with extra blankets if needed. The extra touches included a real Christmas tree. It was lovely. NB if you plan a New Year break many of the local hotels and restaurants close to recover from the festivities, plenty still available in Inverness though.

We had a fabulous week at Moorhen Lodge. The Lodge was really cosy and well appointed. The location was so peaceful and quiet and we loved the jacuzzi especially at night time watching the stars and enjoying the peace. Great location for visiting various places around the Highlands. The hosts were really attentive and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Many thanks thoroughly recommend this lodge.

We had a lovely holiday staying in Moorhen. The lodge was super clean and the beds comfortable for us all. The lodge is located in a wonderful woodland setting and waking up to watch red squirrels feeding and pheasants searching for breakfast is certainly a fantastic experience and enjoyed hugely by our young daughters. The owners, Helen and David, are extremely friendly and helpful. Its the second time weve been and well look forward to returning.

Had a lovely relaxing week at Moorhen Lodge It is a magical place to stay with lovely hosts that cater for all your requirements. ... thank you so much

We really enjoyed our time at Moorhen Lodge. It was so peaceful and we saw such a variety of wildlife through the windows.

One of the nicest places I've stayed, the owners have achieved a very high standard. We wanted for nothing Definitely will be returning next year

Couldn't fault the holiday. Absolutely perfect cabin with everything you could want catered for. Very dog friendly. The walks from the cabin are absolutely amazing. We will 100 be returning.

Our holiday was just what we needed. Absolute peace and quiet.Moorhen lodge was just fantastic and above our expectations Every detail was considered.will definitely be back in the future. Many thanks to Helen and David for making our staycation Honeymoon a fabulous one.

Had a fabulous time at this beautiful lodge. Helen and David were lovely hosts and the box of goodies on arrival was much appreciated and such a nice touch! The lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything you need for a self catering holiday. Not that we did any cooking Lots of birds, red squirrels and even saw a deer outside the lodge. Only regret, a week is not long enough as there is so much to see and do would definitely return.Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic time at Moorhen Lodge in North Kessock. The lodge is beautifully appointed and feels like nothing we have ever stayed in before. The peace and quiet is really quite something, and on a clear night the sky is absolutely stunning. There is a planchastyle gas BBQ on site but as the property is in a protected area, you can't have naked flames indoor or out so no charcoal BBQs or candles. The parking space outside is a little on the small side, so be sure to practice your fivepoint turns in advance. The beds are comfortable and the ensuite is lovely too. The woodstove is a really nice addition and makes the living room nice and warm for when you've had enough of the hot tub. It uses a fair bit of fuel, but we contacted Helen and they can supply net bags for a small charge. We managed to get a Tesco delivery and a local taxi company out to the lodge it really is in the middle of nowhere but the directions are fairly simple once you get used to them. The fridge is huge, and there's a dishwasher and washerdryer there too. The TV and soundbar are decent and there's a spare HDMI on there for a Chromecast too if you have one. The WiFi is pretty decent in the lodge, but as expected there's no mobile signal on EEO2, so make sure you have one phone in your group that can make use of WiFi Calling. All in all, a beautiful, secluded, peaceful lodge and we absolutely loved it. Looking forward to coming back!

Excellent location, lovely clean and comfortable accommodation. Very attentive hosts

Excellent accommodation! Lovely hosts. Will visit again.

Fantastic lodge, highly recommended, just what you need for a week to relax in a very peaceful setting

Lodge and location was beautiful. Host was really welcoming and friendly. Everything was provided including tea towels, cleaning products, coffee filters

Excellent cottage, very clean and modern. Appreciated the small things such as, salt & pepper, cooking oil, washing up liquid etc. Already booked to return in 2021.

The cottage was amazing, exceeding our expectations from the pictures. We were close to Inverness but in the woods so felt secluded and enjoyed a truly authentic Scottish experience. The lodge was spotlessly clean and the facilities were excellent!

Fabulous log cabin Lodge with only one other similar lodge next to it both being strategically placed to provide privacy if both lodges were in use. The location is fairly secluded being set in a wood approximately 2.5 miles away from the nearest shopcafepub but this rather enhances than detracts from your holiday experience as it is very peaceful and relaxing. The host Helen was in contact with advice and travel tips before arrival and is very welcoming and helpful and on hand if required for anything. Our party consisted of two couples being friends all around 60 years of age looking for a relaxing holiday and places to visit. The location is ideally suited to explore the area with numerous attractions to consider. We can highly recommend this Lodge its location and of course the host Helen.

Excellent property very comfortable all round including the beds. Fantastic hosts. Very relaxing stay the hot tub was great. You can truly escape here if that's what you are after truly switched off. Close proximity to Inverness meant that it was very easy to access what you needed for a self catering holiday. Car essential.

Moorhen Lodge was an amazing family experience quiet & tranquil, but yet close to Inverness, beautifully presented accommodation, NO Midges, superb hot tub, you should seriously think about this venue if you are thinking of staying in the Highlands.

Fantastic lodge, good location would definitely go back

The Moorhen is a truly lovely cabin. It was immaculatly clean with everything you could possibly need available. The owners are welcoming and helpful. Fantastic area to explore. Definitely my favourite holiday cottage experience to date. Highly recommend it.

The owners were very helpful and couldnt want any more it was a brilliant holiday

The hosts were fantastic, and on hand should we need anything. They gave us plenty of information on local walks and places of interest. The lodge was very well equipped and the owners had thought of everything!! We would be happy to return.

Helen was such a great hostess so helpful and friendly! ! The log cabin in the woods took our breath away when we pulled up, it didnt disappoint!!

Was fabulous! !

Amazing lodge in a beautiful setting. Location central for exploring but location of lodge is also isolated for peace and privacy. The hot tub was a lovely way to end each day after long walks. Only improvement we could suggest would be the addition of robes to use.
