We arrived at the Balavil Hotel and eventually found somewhere to park. On entering the hotel our first impressions were that it was very dated and in need of an upgrade!!! When we approached the reception desk we were asked to wait until the gentleman behind the counter got someone to check us in. His english was not very good.... more

they always say you get what you paid for, well i agree, we were just looking for a wee b&b for a night. fair enough dinner in the hotel was booked out but we got excellent food at pub down the road. Anyway, the staff were very friendly, room very spacious, warm, pretty decent view, very quiet hotel overall, breakfast... more

Avoid this hotel. Although the website says the rooms are "magnificently furnished" this a false description. Mine was totally bare and unfurnished. Service was poor, no food possible after the very early time of 20.30, the food awful and the rooms bare and noisy. The shower was a simple mixer tap which either froze or scalded and could not be... more

recently stayed at the balavil. We were a group of 37 from France and the staff proved very helpful and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and the food excellent, everyone enjoyed their stay what a wonderful introduction to Scotland more

This hotel cancelled my booking when I was less than one hour away from it after driving 14 hours on business.

We booked this through LateRooms. We were advised this is a 3 star hotel and rates charged , description and photos indicated a seriously nice hotel & restaurant. The description and photo's on laterooms were deceiving, as was the description on the hotel's own website. We were thoroughly disappointed. This is no where near the standard of any 3 star... more

Stayed at this small friendly hotel for 4 nights as art of a Jamesway Travel short break. It was fantastic value. The staff were excellent and the food was also very good. The best Scottish beef and the Salmon was obviously very fresh. Its a good location for travelling around the central part of Scotland with Loch Ness, Inverness, Aviemore... more
