Guest Reviews
- Nikki (10/5): Peaceful, content, and wish we could have stayed longer! - The house was so lovely and cozy! The area was so quiet and peaceful. We were able to spend each evening living our best “old folks” life—enjoying a fire and watching game shows. It was a good bit of fun.
The home is also sooo close to Dunvegan Castle. Less than ten minutes! Almost everything in the home was lovely but took a bit of figuring out. It may be helpful to label some of the switches on the walls to help out easily confused tourists like ourselves. Otherwise, truly a lovely place!
- Xiao (10/5): - Good location, nice owner
- Citra (9/5): - A cozy, very clean place to stay, everything we need are already provided. Feels like home.. Would love to come back and stay longer.

- Simon (10/5): Great stay in an ideal location - A very homey place in a great location. We appreciate that the shower is easy to get into and has a seat, for guests that might need it. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood quiet. The shower itself is very easy to use, so is every appliance in the home. The hosts are very responsive and answer every inquiries quickly. One door could use a bit of lubricant. Honestly the photos could be updated on Booking because the space looks better than what is shown here!

- Manoharan (10/5): The whole experience was very enjoyable and memorable! - The view from the Balmore back window was very good. The garden was well kept and full of pleasing flowers. The Washing machine was very useful to us. The Wi-Fi was very good and the host provided lots of tips on the local amenities and shops. It was a fantastic experience in total! We could not find the ironing box, although ironing board was available.
- Anita (10/5): Pobyt był krótki, ale podobało mi się tam. - Lokalizacja była dobra, jak na podróżowanie po Szkocji objazdowo. Obiekt wyposażony we wszystko co potrzeba i czysty. W spokojnej i cichej okolicy. Kluczem nie można było zamknąć drzwi, zamek był zepsuty lub klucz, który nam zostawiono nie pasował do zamka.
- Guest (10/5): We did enjoyed the stay. - Balmore welcomed us with bread and milk to help us start our stay, which we truly appreciated. The kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom were all clean and well-kept. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary utensils, so we could easily prepare our dinner and breakfast. It was a perfect way to begin and end our day. We really enjoyed our time there.

It was quiet, easy to find and had everything we needed - including a washing machine and rack to dry clothes. Full kitchen, plenty of hot water and comfortable beds. I would definitely stay again.
