Vacation rentals in Balmacara

We spent 2 nights at the lodge, great location, easy to find. It was just a pleasure just to sit there and admire the view. Peaceful and calm surroundings will let you rest and charge your batteries. Place spotless clean, spacious and warm.

Michele’s home was a wonderful place for us to spend some time with extended family in Scotland. Its location overlooking Inverness was beautiful. Great spot to chill out. There is a bus stop in easy reach of the house if you don’t have a car with you or a 10 minute drive into Inverness itself. Lots of space for everyone inside so we never felt we were on top of each other. Really comfortable beds! A real home from home and will definitely come back here on a return trip to Inverness

Incredible experience in every aspect. The place is super cozy, well designed and appointed. Surroundings are stunningly beautiful. Joy is the best host who is friendly and accommodating.

Alison was a wonderful host for her place from giving us excellent directions (we came in after dark and still found it easily) to checking us in personally. We communicated with her that we had left later than planned and would be getting there late so we certainly didn't expect a personal check-in, but it was much appreciated. The place itself is a charming croft and a small distance from Spean Bridge into the countryside. The views are gorgeous and the interior is welcoming and well equipped. For us it was a central location for exploring - .5 hour to Fort William, 1.5 hrs to Glen Creran, and slighly less than 2 hrs to Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skybridge to the Isle of Skye, etc. We would hike all day and come home late to make a last meal and sleep. Having a washer and dryer in a mud room area was fabulous with mud on our hikes. We would definitely stay here again both for the scenery and the hospitality.

Lovely stay. perfect get away for New Years. Tidy and clean pod, exactly as described. Zoe was a great host, who was quick to respond to our queries. Would strongly recommend and hopefully will be back in the summer.

This is a spacious, cosy, comfortable place to stay. It's peaceful, remote, in beautiful surroundings - the Atlantic to the West, the mountains of Torridon to the East, and views of Skye from beautiful local beaches. Onie and Ally were friendly and helpful (above and beyond after I'd gone knee-deep in a bog on a walk, making sure my boots dried by morning). The apartment is, if anything, better than in the photos - the comfortable sitting room/dining/kitchen area really spacious. I slept super-well here and had some great walks and drives in the day - taking hundreds of photos.

This house was the ideal place for us to stay while on Skye. We traveled with another couple. The layout is spacious so we had room to spread out. The kitchen is large and we were able to have breakfast and dinner here. The location is central so we could visit sites all over the island fairly easily. And, the views of the bay from the sitting room at the back of the house are beautiful. Seumas stopped by to greet us and was super friendly. He made us feel very welcomed. I highly recommend this stay!

This was exactly the kind of break we all needed! We are a group of wild swimmers, and the location was perfect for us. We swam in lochs, in the sea, spotted dolphins, seals, and deer - but not Nessy! Check in was smooth, there was a lovely welcome basket of goodies for us. The beds were made up beautifully, with more than one pillow each! The kitchen is well stocked, with all the utensils/pots that you need to be able to prepare fresh meals, and great size mugs for a decent hot drink! When the temperature dropped on the second evening, our hosts had the heating turned up for us with half an hour. Any message sent to the host were answered immediately! All in all, we had an amazing stay, a perfect house, in the most amazing location!
