2 Lower Kessock Street

About this property

2 Lower Kessock Street is an agreeable ground-floor apartment situated near the picturesque River Ness in Inverness, Highland. With convenient roadside parking, this delightful retreat offers an ideal base for small families or friends seeking to explore the vibrant city and its stunning surroundings. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by an inviting living/dining room, complete with a mounted TV for your entertainment. Here, you can unwind after a day of exploration, or gather around the table which easily seats four guests for a home-cooked meal or a friendly board game. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials you need to prepare your favourite dishes.

From here, you can access the garden, a serene spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink under the stars. When it's time to retire for the night, choose from two welcoming bedrooms; a double and a single, both equipped with TVs for those lazy mornings in bed. The rooms are served by a shower room, boasting a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, where you can freshen up before starting your day's adventures. It is within easy walking distance of the city centre and well placed for waterside routes along the Caledonian Canal and the Beauly Firth, including stretches designated as SSSI.

When you can bring yourself to leave this charming abode, venture out to Clava Cairns, a prehistoric site dating back to the Bronze Age and soak in the fascinating history. Culture enthusiasts will appreciate a visit to Eden Court Inverness, the main venue for theatre and arts in the Highlands. For nature and wildlife lovers, embark on a tour with Dolphin Spirit Inverness and marvel at the wonders of marine life in the Moray Firth, followed by a calming walk through the stunning Merkinch Local Nature Reserve. Continue your exploration with a stroll along the River Ness, where salmon, seals and even the occasional otter can be spotted drifting through the current.

Pack your binoculars and follow the river towards Inverness Castle for sweeping views across the Highland Capital, before seeking out the dramatic landscapes that appear throughout the wider Highlands, a delight for fans of Outlander and The Traitors. From here, set your sights on Loch Ness and join a Jacobite cruise for folklore‑rich scenery that might just tempt Nessie hunters to keep watch over the waves. Outdoor adventurers can turn towards Ben Wyvis, a popular Munro rising in the distance, or head south to enjoy winter sports in the Cairngorms. Inverness also acts as a gateway to the NC500, the Outer Hebrides and Orkney, with excellent transport links including central train and bus stations and an airport just a short trip away.

Round off your days by sampling the Highland Capital’s vibrant culture, from the Victorian Market food hall and the Black Isle Brewery to its lively music scene and independent eateries. There is much to see and do when you stay at 2 Lower Kessock Street, making it the perfect base for your Scottish getaway.

The Capital of the Highlands, the city of Inverness, is the gateway to the countless delights of the Highlands of Scotland. Towering mountains, dark lochs, great forests and precipitous sea cliffs are all within easy reach. Of particular note is the legendary Loch Ness, which is surrounded by some truly breathtaking scenery, although most visitors are usually on the lookout for something a bit more mysterious! Just outside the city is the Culloden Battlefield at Culloden Moor (National Trust). The site of the last major battle fought on British soil, there is an award-winning display depicting the battle, whilst a walk on the field serves as a poignant reminder of the clansmen who lost their lives. Inverness itself has much to offer, museums, an art gallery, fine theatre and leisure facilities, not to mention shops, pubs and restaurants. The River Ness flows through the city and both the river and neighbouring Moray Firth are home to a diverse range of wildlife and marine life including red kites, along with dolphins, which can sometimes be seen from the shore, or on trips from the harbour.
