Balavil Hotel

This was our second stay at the balavil and it did not disappoint!! Excellent food, great staff and a warm clean cosy bedroom, perfect after a nice walk round Newtonmore. Loved the pool for the kids and the sports bar was great for a quiet drink. Look forward to our next stay in the summer!

Homely Well Run hotel, excellent food, terrific staff. The team led by James, including Isla, David, Mark, and young Logan were very professional and friendly. The room whilst small, was more than adequate, and it had a new walk in shower in the en-suite.We had a great time, and I would definitely recommend this wee hotel.

Staff were exceptional very friendly and inviting. The rooms were very nice clean and comfortable and the food was outstanding evening meal and breakfast everything was reasonably priced the deep fried Brie was one of the best thing I’ve ever tasted so compliments to the chef. I can’t recommend this place enough.

What a genuinely wonderful experience! The family/team at Balavil is the perfect example of what a hotel stay should be - they were kind, gracious, welcoming, and helpful. We immediately felt comfortable at the hotel and continued to throughout our stay. I wish all hotels would have staff like theirs! We stayed two nights and dined at the restaurant for both of them. The food was excellent - fresh, home cooked, and delicious. Their daily specials were wonderful and really exemplified the local vibe and foods. Breakfast was a great selection of buffet items and the staff were even kind enough to offer to cook me vegetarian sausages, as I can't eat meat. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this hotel and the family that runs it. Newtownmore was a perfect stop between Edinburgh and Isle of Skye and really gave us a few days to comfortably enjoy the Highlands without the hustle of the cities. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel and area.

Good destination point, nice rooms. Good Food at the Bar Menue/ Restaurant and most important most friendly staff I met. James runs the Hotel with perfection and Islay is the Queen at the bar. Thank you so much to the rest of the staff too!! I will be back next year.
