Our room was large and very comfortable, with lovely bathroom facilities. The hotel is well situated, just a few kilometres from the bridge onto the Isle. There is a well-stocked Spar right next door for the hotel which is a real bonus.

The hotel has recently changed hands and the new owners are obviously still trying to find their feet in the business. The rooms didn't have kettles, but on request I was provided one. They need to refine the laundry system too. My requested laundry was initially handed back to me dirty and then when I did receive it, it was badly folded. Be warned to provide your own laundry bag.

The room was spacious, modern (new) and clean. We booked a room with Seaview, but received one with mountain view. The staff explained that this is a problem of Booking.com. Anyway, as compensation for our disappointment, they offered free dinner and drinks, what was appreciated. The food in the restaurant was very tasty.

There was a bigger group coming and the kitchen was in hurry to make preparation. So, while we were only half way through the first course, they already served the main course. I assume this is an exception.

Room is of an excellent standard. It all looks very new. It is spotlessly clean. The staff is very helpful.

Comparing with the many hotels we have stayed in we felt that over £350 for the room was excessive. Our booking stated mountain view but as the photos will confirm all we could see was a stone wall and a lot of brambles. The restaurant food was all right but nothing special. They charge £4.95 for a bottle of mineral water and £6.95 for a small dish of mash potatoe. They also apply a 12.5% surcharge to the bill. Breakfast which was included was very average.

The hotel is in a great location at Balmacara, a short distance from Kyle of Lochalsh and Skye. We had a warm welcome at check in with information about our room and facilities in the hotel. The hotel has been totally refurbished and is bright and modern. Plenty of parking is available. Our room looked out towards the sea and was warm and inviting with walk in shower and modern fittings. The bed was very comfortable with nice linen. We had a lovely meal our first night in the restaurant. The breakfast was cooked freshly and was delicious along with a selection of cereals tea and coffee. In all a great stay and will certainly will stay again in the future.

Nothing not to like.

Our room was very nice and big. It was like the rooms in America with two double beds and four sets of towels but there were only two of us. We only used one of the beds which was very comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. It is a family-run hotel and everyone is very friendly. It has been recently refurbished and all the facilities are tastefully decorated with very nice artwork. It is very close to the Skye bridge which is why we selected the hotel originally. The food was very good. Breakfast was also included in the price and it was excellent. There is a continental buffet and they serve the warm food directly to your table. A very good system as the warm dishes were very good and freshly cooked. There is a good Spar supermarket next door which seemed to sell everything. There is a small campsite behind the hotel with just a few campervans dotted amongst the trees over which our room looked. It was actually a pleasant view and by no means an eyesore. So overall a really good stay. Thank you to all the lovely staff and management who made us feel very welcome.

Everything really good. Having trouble trying to think of anything negative.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff especially Manav and Gopal (Pal) were incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. Manav treated us with excellent customer service. The room was clean, spacious and well- equipped with everything we needed.The quiet atmosphere- it made it easy to relax. The location is just perfect very beautiful with a lake view. One of my favourite part was the breakfast buffet- great variety and quality. It was a pleasant and comfortable experience.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Balmacara Hotel! The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and offered stunning views that made waking up each morning a real treat. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. What truly stood out was the food—absolutely exceptional! Every meal was a delight, full of flavor and clearly made with care. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a memorable experience.

Spacious and comfortable room with amazing view. What impressed me most with the hotel though was the interior decorating. The entire hotel is decorated in colours that harmonise perfectly with the colours outside. All artwork seems to have been commissioned by local artists, depicting scenes from the immediate surroundings and again harmonising perfectly with the colours of walls and furniture. I'm not really interested in art, but I actually made a point of looking closely at every single piece in the hotel. Very tasteful indeed! Dinner was lovely, breakfast excellent.

We were greeted in such a welcoming manner. The manager and staff were friendly and helpful. The building is elegant, lovely and clean. Our upgraded room with a sea view was spacious, modern, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Dinner was amazing! The best we’ve had while touring around the highlands. Breakfast was delicious. The whole experience was wonderful. Can’t say enough good stuff.

Nothing

The room was very tastefully decorated with a comfortable bed and was not too warm as you were able to open the window as I dislike stuffy rooms! The bathroom was small but again tastefully decorated with an excellent shower.

The wi-fi was rubbish which meant the tv did not work. Breakfast was good but there was a bit of congestion where the cups, plates and continental breakfast was laid out, it would also be better if you got a pot of tea rather than having to make it yourself from the kettle that was there.
