7 Best Lodges with Hot Tubs in Inverness (2026)

Red squirrels cross the deck, and the bird feeders on the veranda pull in a wide mix of species. This Canadian lodge sits in Craigbreck Wood near North Kessock, ten minutes from Inverness but deep enough into the trees for genuine quiet. The woodburning stove earns its keep on cooler evenings, and the hot tub out on the veranda is large, clean, and sheltered by the tree canopy. Dog owners get poo bags, treats, and a dedicated bin on site. Ord Hill and Loch Lundie are walkable from the door.

Far enough into the trees that you stop checking your phone and start watching the red squirrels instead. Moorhen Lodge is the quieter of two cabins at North Kessock, set deep in private woodland with no through traffic. The veranda hot tub faces into the trees, and after dark the sky opens up properly. Inside, the cabin is spotless and the beds are comfortable enough that sleep comes easily after a day at Nairn Beach or Cawdor Castle. The hosts are hands-off but respond fast when needed.

Nine bedrooms, a tennis court, a snooker table, and enough outdoor space for the whole group to spread out. Quarryfield is a large stone house outside Munlochy, about eight miles from Inverness, and it handles big parties well because the communal spaces match the bedroom count. The kitchen is properly equipped for cooking at scale, and there is a cook available to hire if you would rather not. Highland views from the back garden settle things down after a round at Royal Dornoch or Nairn. The housekeeper, Jane, runs the stay end to end, and the garden hot tub is wood-fired.

Surround sound, a Jacuzzi bath with a waterfall showerhead, and open views from the decking that stretch across meadowland to the hills. Beauly Lodge at Kessock Highland Lodges is built for two and feels it. The open-plan layout gives the space room to breathe, and the 50-inch TV with the sound system makes evenings in as good as going out. The hot tub has its own section of deck, and the sky after dark is clear enough for serious stargazing. Inverness is about fifteen minutes by car for restaurants, with Loch Ness and the Moray Firth close enough for day trips.

The panoramic views over the Moray Firth and Kessock Bridge hit you from the moment you step onto the deck. Balnacraig sits in the hamlet of Craigton, three miles from Inverness, and works well for multi-generational stays because the five bedrooms all have their own TVs and most have en suites. The host, Gill, provides robes, slippers, and hot tub towels as standard. The hot tub fits five and looks straight out over the Firth. Woodland trails behind the house suit morning walks before the drive to Culloden or Fort George.

Both bedrooms have en suite showers, which makes mornings with young children straightforward rather than a queue. Cromarty Lodge is the two-bedroom option at Kessock Highland Lodges, fifteen minutes from Inverness, and the open views from the balcony and hot tub stretch across the Moray Firth. The kitchen covers self-catering basics well, right down to measuring jugs and a colander. The hosts run the site and offer restaurant tips without overdoing the contact. The Moray Firth dolphin spots and Culloden are both easy drives from the door.

Two miles from Loch Ness and a few miles south of Inverness, this farmhouse sits in a quieter pocket of the Highlands with an enclosed garden and open countryside around it. The garden has a fire pit, a BBQ, and a private hot tub. Inside, leather sofas wrap around a wood burner that keeps the living room warm on January nights. Three of the four bedrooms are king-size, so adults sleep well. Tesco is a five-minute drive for supplies, and the road to Loch Ness is scenic enough to count as a day out by itself.
