Tranquility on the hill

Loved this place so much. Could live here forever. House layout was amazing, plenty of space for the whole family. Loved just sitting in the kitchen and relaxing looking out the window or playing cards with the kids. It was so peaceful. Perfect for our needs.

Wonderful

This property is a great find. Foremost, the views are stunning and unique. It’s secluded and private. The home is loved and clean. Room to spread out, and helpful notes to help you navigate your stay abound. The hosts have thought of everything; we very much appreciated the toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, milk and cookies, dvd’s and more. A storm knocked the internet out on our second day and Graham was easily accesible by a phone call to help us get it sorted. The home is ideally situated for exploring Loch Ness and Inverness and we feel fortunate to have gotten to stay here. We loved our stay and our teens agree. This was a gem of a property. Thank you for the memories.

Stunning views

Lower Balmore cottage is in an absolutely stunning setting, the views are out of this world. The house itself is clean and tidy and superbly equipped. Although it's large it is very homely and warm. There is so much to do it's impossible to list it all. But the beach at Rosemarkie is a must. I swam there twice during our stay. And the village is gorgeous too. Fortrose,close to Rosemarkie has shops and cafes etc. Graham, our host was most helpful and responded promptly to any questions we had. The only small thing I would recommend is that the welcome pack ne extended to two pints of milk, bread eggs and maybe a packet of bacon, but this is only a suggestion as the shop at Drumnadrochit is only 15mins drive and we shopped there the next day. Overall we had a fantastic week at lower Balmore, and recommend it highly. In fact we would most definitely return.

All about the views

What a fantastic break we have just had in this family home. You cannot appreciate the location until you drive down the private track and see the house, to turn the corner and WOW that view hits you, just breath taking. Location was a short drive to Inverness and other restaurants about 5 miles away. Definitely Definitely recommend to enjoy the beautiful Scottish scenery. Will certainly be returning. Warm regards The Harrisons

Beautiful setting - a perfect break

We loved staying at Lower Balmore. It was perfectly set up for us and our 8 and 10 year olds - huge rooms, stunning views and lots of space to run around outside. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed walking, cycling and swimming in lochs in the local area. The property is absolutely wonderful and we would definitely come back in future.
