Kinkell House Hotel is a Four Star Hotel which is open all year round and where you will be assured of a warm and hospitable reception.
Kinkell House Hotel is a small Country House peacefully situated in its own grounds surrounded by trees and pasture land. The charming 150 year old converted farm house is located on the Black Isle in Ross-shire sitting above the Cromarty Firth, with spectacular views across the firth to Ben Wyvis and the mountains to the west Coast of Scotland.
Kinkell House Hotel is ideally situated two and a half hours from John O'Groats, one hour from Ullapool and the Western Isles, two and a half hours from Portree on the Isle of Skye and half an hour from the infamous Loch Ness.
We have nine double/twin rooms all en suite with TV, telephone, tea making facilities and hair dryers. One of the twin rooms is for disabled with wheel chair access.
We have two lounges and a conservatory for the use of guests and residents alike. The conservatory is comfortably furnished with cane furniture, whilst the two lounges have coal and wood burning fires, wonderfully cosy on a cold winter’s night sitting in an armchair with a coffee, a book, or a “wee” dram.
The public rooms - drawing room and dining room are furnished in a traditional style - more of a private house than a hotel. The drawing room with its log fire is the ideal place to relax after the days activities.

Dont know about the disabled parking bays as not travelling with the car. The entrance was accessible and the hotel has only one disabled room which got luckily. The room was clean, spacious and big to move wheelchair easily in and out. The bathroom has walk in shower with handrails and very large in size. Also disabled toilets were available at the ground floor. Overall good experience as disabled stay.
