Location

Small breakfast area was crowded by large tourist groups who dominated the space. Hot breakfasts weren’t available to us due to their group sizes.

This hotel represents great value for money in a convenient location near the Isle of Skye. It offered everything we needed to refresh and rest before more adventures. A bar and restaurant added to the welcoming feel and we liked the young staff’s enthusiastic to make us feel at home.

Several zones of the fire alarm panel were isolated - meaning if a fire occurred the fire brigade would not be automatically notified. Despite having a TV, there were no channels or streaming services to watch - reportedly too expensive for the hotel to purchase.

Spacious facilities, restaurant was nice and had good food.

The staff was fantastic

Large screen TV that wasn't connected even to antenna (but we can live without it, just strange). Wifi reception in the room was poor.

we had nice room with nice bathroom. Had very nice dinner in the hotel's restaurant. Very nice breakfast

Disliked the way bfast buffet laid out. Had to wait to actually boil a domestic kettle to make a cup of tea, I was in a queue for this so took a while. There was a vacuum flask with tea in but it was soo strong & tasted awful, had to make my own. Then the toaster was at back of buffet table on top of another piece of equipment. I'm only 5ft 3ins & had to stand on tiptoe & lean over the pastries to reach the toaster. It wasn't easy!! That said there was a good selection of food. Had trouble with TV, couldn't get terrestrial tv, gave up & managed to get Netflix, even if instructions were in French!!

Good size room & shower room. Very tasty dinner. Lovely decor throughout. Great location for Isle of Skye. Lots of choice at bfast. Staff efficient & friendly. Had car park. Fantastic view over the Loch. Very clean.

Views of car park. Needs some updating. Quite pricey for what it was in terms of the accommodation and food and drink.

Great location close to Skye Bridge. Comfortable rooms. Restaurant and food.

The room was not ready for us when we arrived, it was cramped considering the cost of the room.

Indifferent insulation between rooms. Bathroom equipment such as wc & shower we’re ‘distressed’ from overuse.

Dining facilities and meals.

We stayed at the hotel in order to visit Isle of Skye. For that, the location was not perfect as many parts of the island are pretty far away.

Spacious and clean room, and friendly staff. Breakfast was also okay.

One minor inconvenience was that there seems to be consistent tour buses that use The Balmacara as their hotel and it can get rather noisy in the evenings and busy in the mornings for breakfast. The price is a tad bit more than it probably needs to be for hat you’re getting. The internet is very choppy for things that require live service (I.e. FaceTime, Zoom, gaming, etc) but works great for Netflix and streaming services.

Beautiful hotel with a lot of history. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. The restaurant connected to the hotel was delicious and the waiters/waitresses were extremely polite and helpful.

On the main road - heard the traffic if you want to sleep with open widow. Small room.

Nice stuff. Good location on the beginning of island of Skye. Very good vegetarian breakfast.

Our room overlooked the camping site, but it wasn't an issue...

Comfortable hotel, food was good.

Small room for such a high rate. Breakfast was soooo slow we couldn’t enjoy it due to the long que of a large group, we didn’t want to waist our time standing in line for cereals. Other meal options required even longer wait for waitresses etc. We preferred to leave without breakfast and start hiking but it was annoying and time waisting to wait for that.

Good location at the entrance to sky. Beautiful lake view. Nice staff

Great place to explore Skye without paying the prices of the rooms there. The room was comfortable, big and we loved it.
