About this property
On the shores of Loch Alsh, Balmacara Hotel is just a 5-minute drive from Kyle of Lochalsh, the main crossing point to the Isle of Skye. Regular live traditional music is featured in the on-site pub, and free private parking is also available. A private bathroom, TV and tea/coffee-making facilities are included in each Balmacara room, and most enjoy scenic views out over Loch Alsh towards the Isle of Skye. Contemporary themed rooms are offered, and some are furnished with Victorian antiques. Guests can savor views of the Loch as they enjoy their meals. Specialties include local seafood and game, and a full English breakfast is served in the 1930s-style coffee lounge. Eilean Donan Castle is less than a 10-minute drive from the hotel, and the outer islands of Lewis, Harris or Uist can be visited in a single day.
