A friend and I have just spent Hogmanay at this hotel and were very impressed. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable, excellent staff and the owner was "hands-on" and most attentive. The food was delicious. Couldn't find fault with anything. More

I recently visited the Balavil Hotel for a Buffet Meal and general celebrations after Newtonmore won the Scottish Cup at Shinty. The hotel has really turned around since ownership changed a couple of months ago and it was great to seeing it being run and managed successfully again with warm and welcoming staff who could not be more accomadating.

We stayed in this hotel to be in the middle of Scotland, but we ended up in the middle of some strange odor. When we walked into the lobby to check in, the smell was almost unbearable. We have talked about the possible sources of the odor since getting home and we are no closer to deciding on a source... More

On the last night of our stay we walked out of dining room because of this and went elsewhere. We asked to be reimbursed for this and were advised by the manager that he... More

Having seen a bargain break for this hotel for one night, I can see why it was this price. The room was really dated, nothing matching even in the bathroom. Room certainly need updated, wallpaper is still old fashioned. Our room must have been near the kitchens or above them as there was an awful smell of cooking when we... More
