Stayed 4 nights and wasn't all that impressed. Yes it was clean, and although basic, the beds were very comfortable However, 5 coat hangers between 2 people just is not enough and in this day and age I expect a hair-dryer as standard. We were part of a group and had to make our choices for evening meal at breakfast... More

Had a lovely weekend once again at this friendly hotel.It is perfectly situated for touring the Highlands. The staff can not be more helpful and have great local knowledge of almost everything being local themselves. Nothing is too much trouble if you have a query or request. The rooms are spotlessly clean and have everything you need in them(if you... More

We stayed here for four nights and enjoyed the hospitality and friendly staff, the rooms were clean and comfortable while the pool and sauna are nice extras and the location is good for many surrounding places to visit. Fraser,Eddie and the other staff will be happy to help with information about the area and make your stay very enjoyable.

I had a golfing party of 16 staying for 3 nights and all enjoyed their stay. The staff were excellent and looked after us superbly. Great golfing location with stunning courses both locally and within easy driving reach. The hotel also boasts a large indoor swimming pool and sauna.

Stayed at The Balavil in May 2013. The rooms, although basic were clean and comfortable. The food was very good and considering we were a large group of 20+ they did a fantastic job of getting us all fed at the same time although we all chose different things from the menu. They even managed to source vegetarian sausages for... More

Hotel was very friendly and easy to find. Fairly basic but rustic accommodation with a good choice of bar food. Wi-Fi only worked in lobby area despite being advised it was available throughout the hotel. Lots of rennovation work going on which should improve the hotel by the spring time.

We were up for the fantatic skiing at Cairngorm, and found the hotel really lovely. The staff were very pleasant, and the pool was a definite plus after a day on the slopes. Would definitely consider staying again.
