We stayed for 2 nights in room 45. The room was spacious and comfortable. We had a great view of the loch which is at the other side of the road that runs past the hotel. The breakfast was good and the staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were clean and well kept. Would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a short break near Skye (The hotels on Skye were very expensive for the same standard of room. The Balmacara is only 10 min drive from the Skye Bridge). Kyle of Lochalsh is only a short drive away.

on the rating ive put very good, because no option after average, i would rate it reasonably good,
had just driven round the entire top of scotland from near inverness, and ended up here, was bit tired, had a bit of a haggle for the room and got upgraded to a double, room was reasonable 3 star standard, nice setting, pleasant staff, small t.v. large bathroom, slightly worn but ok, was nice and clean, breakfast not to large , nicely cooked i could have eaten for england was that hungry, but did the trick, its a slightly dated 3 star, it was clean and i enjoyed my stay, price was reasonable, and would have no problems staying again

I wouldn't recommend this hotel, our room No 14 was clean but tiny it overlooked part of the back of the building which made it really dark, at night we had the the constant hum from an outside extractor. The evening meal was overpriced and overcooked but the breakfast was very undercooked. There was a coachload of Americans staying so we were put in a separate room for our meals even though there were tables in the main dining room free, which made us feel like 2nd class guests. The only redeeming features were the girls behind the reception desk and bar who were polite and really friendly and the view from the front of the hotel which was spectacular.

We had a single and double room and both were good but the single quite small and overlooked part of the hotel, the double room however was large and overlooked the carpark and loch beyond. Although the food each evening was good the service at times was a bit haphazard. The view from the hotel was stunning as it looked over the loch and up towards the Skye Bridge. We saw dolphins one evening while having our meal. We found the staff friendly and helpful but felt it was a little expensive.
