Balmacara Hotel was our last stop on our NC500 route. It was definitely a touch of luxury for as as all previous nights we were staying in pods, glamping - which was also amazing. When looking at the front of the hotel - it may not look as appealing but trust me - inside is completely different story! It is gorgeous inside! They are currently overgoing refurbishment so car park is full of all sort building materials (which is understandable) - but just wait till you go in ;) There are fresh flowers in reception room welcoming you on an arrival, fresh carpets, very polite and helpful staff. Everything around - from restaurant, through bar, breakfast room, reception to rooms have been refurbished in a very tasteful way. It compliments the location fully! - OH, did I mention already the hotel has a seafront view - so when you dine in restaurant you have a landscape to die for! - no matter which part of the restaurant room you are sat in. Room - we have been extremally surprised with - It was a ballroom size! Bed was large and comfy, and although we were expecting our daughter to sleep with us (That was the selection we made when booking) we have been given extra bed for her in the room, so very nice surprise. We dined in the restaurant the night of our stay. Fish Pie I ordered was the best I ever had in my life! I am not even joking! And food in general is magnificent! Extra Kudos for the chef(s) as what they do is magic! Our breakfast in the morning - smoked kippers for me and scrambled eggs with salmon for hubby were exceptional! We will be revisiting!

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.

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.

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.

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.
