"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.

"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

"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!"
! It’s 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, it’s 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!!

"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 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. It’s the second time we’ve been and we’ll look forward to returning.

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.

"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 plancha-style 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 five-point turns in advance. The beds are comfortable and the en-suite is lovely too. The wood-stove 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 washer/dryer there too. The TV and sound-bar 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 EE/O2, 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!

"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 shop/cafe/pub 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.
