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

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.

10/10 Exceptional

This is the place to stay at if you're visiting Skye but don't want to pay island prices. Price is great, accommodations are well maintained (albeit a little cozy), and the dining staff are very friendly. It's 15min from Plockton for live music, and ~5min from the Skye bridge. There's also a convenience store next door for all your snacks before heading to see the Fairy Pools or have a dram at Talisker. There's also good taxi service. Mavis is the person/company we used in order to have a couple drinks up in Plockton. She was very friendly.

Over hyped
Overall, I wont be staying here again. The "King bed" is slightly smaller than a queen bed, walls are paper thin to where you can hear your neighbors conversations. The dinner was delicious though.

Nice enough
Nice little hotel, modern enough rooms in an older building. I didn’t eat, or go in the bar but both looked nice. The bin in my bedroom was however full of somebody else’s rubbish. Made me want to check the cleanliness of everything else but it seemed okay…

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.

The front desk has friendly people. Beds need update. Not comfortable ! Restaurant has good food but the waiters needs more customer service. Breakfast was ok. They brought us different items that the ones we ordered. We did not complain and did not send it back. Overall the hotel was ok.

4/10 Fair

Hotel was quite nice and the food was excellent. The trouble was all the confusion when asking questions about dinner and our room. When we got into the room, it hadn’t been cleaned and there was an empty bottle of juice sitting on the dresser – the beds weren’t made either! When I went to reception to ask about this, their response was “I don’t know how that happened.” A bit inconvenient overall as we have been staying in a few places around Scotland and they were rated 3* which offered 5* service. I hope this was a one off.

Very average hotel, charging incredibly high prices. Very small room, tiny sink in bathroom, mold on shower corners, heat didn’t work well, very noisy in hallway especially when door in corridor opens and closes. Breakfast was good and included in price, but was the most expensive place to stay our whole trip including Marriott Edinburgh.
