This is a lovely, clean and conveniently situated hotel between Eilean Donan Castle and the Skye Bridge. It is an excellent location for exploring the Isle of Skye and the surrounding area. Although it is off the main road, there is little traffic at night, so it is quiet and has a beautiful view of the loch. Our room was... More

Stayed here for the one night in July 2011 as a base for a two day tour of the area including Skye. Its perfect for Eilean Donan, access to Skye and for the villages of Plockton and Stormeferry. Just a little further along, you can easily head off to Kishorn, and if you dare... Applecross! The hotel was a very... More

We stayed for 2 nights in room 45. The room was spacious and comfortable. We had a great view of the loch which is at the other side of the road that runs past the hotel. The breakfast was good and the staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were clean and well kept. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for... More

I wouldn't recommend this hotel, our room No 14 was clean but tiny it overlooked part of the back of the building which made it really dark, at night we had the the constant hum from an outside extractor. The evening meal was overpriced and overcooked but the breakfast was very undercooked. There was a coachload of Americans staying so... More

We had a single and double room and both were good but the single quite small and overlooked part of the hotel, the double room however was large and overlooked the carpark and loch beyond. Although the food each evening was good the service at times was a bit haphazard. The view from the hotel was stunning as it looked... More

A traditional hotel overlooking Lochalsh on the main road into Kyle. Generally, the hotel is well kept and attractive. The hotel seems to derive an important part of its trade from coach parties, but these seem to be kept separate from individual clients. Rooms are well maintained and pleasantly furnished but let down by antique televisions with miniscule twelve-inch screens.... More

Stayed here with my partner and her family and was very happy with the hotel. The hotel staff, especially Debbie, were all outstanding and vey cheerful. We took the dinner bed and breakfast deal and were not disappointed. The dinner was excellent every night with a good choice of food even though it was a set menu. The breakfasts again... More

We have just returned from 3 days at Balmacara Hotel. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were attentive and pleasant without being overbearing. The breakfasts were all that they should be. Evening meals were well presented and vegetables beautifully cooked. The views from the dining rooms were stunning! Clean rooms, bathrooms with loads of hot water. Nothing to fault. More

We were there for a family wedding. The food was excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful, the views are stunning, and we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for anyone with small children. Highland hospitality at it's very best. More
