Moorhen Lodge Reviews

Steven
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
Sandra
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.
William
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!
Alison
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
Caroline
Lodge and location was beautiful. Host was really welcoming and friendly. Everything was provided including tea towels, cleaning products, coffee filters
Adrian
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.
Chantel
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.
Steven
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
Aileen
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.
Fabulous log cabin in the woods with lots to do around the general area recommend to anyone
Louise
Absolute peace of heaven! The lodge is really well equipped with everything you could need and the hosts go above and beyond with lots of lovely finishing touches. Ideal area in that you are remote enough to feel away from the hustle and bustle but 10 minutes drive and youre in Inverness.
Owner couldn't have been more helpful and the accomodation was perfect set in the ideal location.
We had a fantastic time at Moorhen Lodge, the log cabin, location, the owners are all superb and we would highly recommend. We will definitely be going again.
Wonderful location and thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing week in beautiful surroundings. Lots of walks with the dogs on the doorstep. Look forward to returning again.
Jacqueline
Lovely cabin, welcome pack was lovely. Owners were great and the cabin had everything you could think of. Hot tub was great addition. Area is lovely with plenty to do. Had a great stay and really looking forward to going back.
Sharon
Cant fault Moorhen Lodge, a great place to stay! ! Helen and David were perfect hosts and couldnt have been more helpful and kind, ensuring we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation and couldnt have been more comfortable. The location is perfect!! Easy access to the main roads to get about to different places but also private and quite to enjoy the forest and leave the car behind to do local walks to Ord Hill, Kilmuir and North Kessock. We cant recommend it enough and will definitely be back.
