"This lodge was spacious and had everything you would need for a trip away, nice little touches made it stand out more!"
"Spacious and well-equipped accommodation: a wonderful base for excursions around Inverness and Northern Scotland, but also to fully enjoy the facilities, the terrace and the view, the dolphins nearby, castles, and more. The host was also very friendly and helpful. Another plus: a Tesla Super Charger just a 15-minute drive away."
"Can't fault at all. Lodge amazing. Perfect location and great base to explore. Run by the nicest couple. Hot tub and views from the balcony made it that little bit extra special. Will go back and stay again in the future"
"Our Kessock Highland Lodges review: Enjoyed a brilliant time with 10 days of sunshine in April! The lodge was amazing with beautiful views. We travelled about visiting various places and it was great to return to the lodge and take a dip in the hot tub."
"Everything was there that we required."
"A fab few days at the Beauty lodge and a warm welcome from Janice. The lodge had everything that you would need including a hot tub at the perfect temperature. Lovely views, sheep in the field and we even spotted a dear. Dark skies for looking at the stars in the Highlands. Would love to visit again and explore the Highlands further. Simply beautiful."
"We had such a lovely few days at the Beauty Lodge and Janice made us feel really welcome right from the start. The lodge had everything we needed, especially the hot tub which was just right. The views were stunning-sheep grazing, a deer in the distance-and the dark skies made star gazing unforgettable. Wed definitely come back to explore more of the Highlands!"

"Really enjoyed the experience"
"Really enjoyed this, will come back!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back."
"Honestly, we had such a lovely stay! The location is super peaceful, perfect for unwinding and the lodges are really well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed-coffee machine, blender, grill, loads of crockery and utensils, which was great. The lodge itself was spacious and the beds were really comfy, so we slept like logs. My partner was especially pleased with the shower and being able to play music throughout the lodge made it feel so homely. The hot tub was a real highlight; its checked daily by the owner and stayed at the perfect temperature all day long. We loved being able to jump in anytime. Donald gave us a lovely tour when we arrived, sharing tips on local places to eat and useful info about the area. Were already looking at dates for next year-cant wait to come back. Huge thanks to Donald and Barbara for such a fantastic retreat!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Beauly Lodge! Everything you could possibly need is there, plus some nice extras. The place was spotless, super warm and cosy, even when it was chilly outside. Definitely planning to return sometime soon. Highly recommend!"
"Perfect spot for a relaxing weekend."
"We had a lovely welcome and lots of helpful info on places to go while we were there.
We have 2 teenage children, so there were 4 of us in total.
The lodge is beautiful with lots of lovely little touches inside to make it feel extra special when you arrive.
No need to pack shower gels and shampoo as they are provided.
Beds are super comfy and you get a bath sheet and bath towel each so we didn’t need to bring an extra towel for the hot tub (which was handy when we only brought cabin luggage on the plane.
If you fly, it’s not far from the airport, and Inverness is about 15 minutes away and pretty good for shops.
It took us about an hour and 45mins to drive to Fort William and 35 minutes to the Cairngorm national park, so a good base to get to different places.
You are completely private in the lodge garden, we were lucky enough to get some lovely hot days to spend in the garden and hot tub but I’m sure it would be just as nice if the weather wasn’t as good!
We loved our week at Cromarty Lodge and couldn’t recommend it enough!"
"Amazing place to stay with beautiful surroundings. Lodge is clean, luxurious and well equipped. Will definitely return to stay here."
"We stayed here for our honeymoon and couldn’t fault it.
We arrived early evening and was greeted by Janice who was lovely, friendly and had lots of recommendations of things to do, places to eat etc.
The lodge itself was immaculate, so well equipped and in such a lovely setting.
We are hoping to book to stay again in the future!

Fort George is a large 18th-century fortress at Ardersier, built after the Jacobite rising of 1745 to control the Highlands.
