One night in Kyle
Arrived late so missed food so can`t comment but menu looked good. Hotel was clean and a welcoming greeting when I arrived. Room clean and no issues other than heating a challenge to set and parking limited - Breakfast great, would stay again.
MARK, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice hotel
Hotel was really nice we booked last minute and the views near by are amazing Gent on reception/bar/kitchen was really polite and helpful as he was there on his own because of holiday season Internet was down due to a bad storm that made the stay more remote as civilisation and home comforts were almost 1.5 hours away Don’t let that put you off when fully staffed and WiFi working I can only imagine the stay would be even better

Great location! Our room had an amazing view. Really enjoyed the restaurant and bar.
Susan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

In two minds
It was a fantastic location. However, it was not value for money £130 for a very small single room. Shower head kept falling down. Tv did not work, a plug in heater, no kettle. Breakfast was £17.50 (cooked) £10 continental I do appreciate it was low season but…The coffee was good. The evening meal was good but expensive. Friendly staff and case was taken to my room.

Overnight stay review
Stayed overnight on way to Raasay. Very comfortable hotel, nice decor. Had dinner and breakfast the next morning - food was lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive, good service and good atmosphere. Would recommend.
Margaret, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Extremely friendly welcome in a nice hotel
For an extremely friendly stay I can highly recommend Balmacara. The rooms are excellent with great views either over the Loch - front - or the mountains - back. The owners and staff could not be friendlier and more helpful. The hotel itself, being just a mile or so on this side of the Skye Bridge, is ideally placed for a day on Skye. I can also highly recommend the restaurant, which is helpful given the dearth of options in the area.

Stacy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was beautiful. The room was clean, bed was huge/comfortable & bathroom beautifully clean with an excellent shower. Had breakfast and evening meal & both were delicious. It was lovely to have additional choices from full Scottish breakfast or continental and the Eggs Benedict was lovely. Staff very friendly & welcoming.

Great stay
The hotel was beautiful with a great location. We struggled with the door handle and the heat in our room. We had a great stay but there might need to be more maintenance at the hotel.
Cindy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We arrived after dark and left before sunrise each day so I can’t comment on the exterior of the property. But the room was clean, the restaurant served good food and the staff was helpful. The patrons of the bar seemed to enjoy themselves but we didn’t stop by ourselves. Would definitely recommend!
