About this property

Fabulous House with Stunning Sea Views to Skye. By NTS gardens. Great Privacy.

Standing above Lochalsh in its own secluded grounds and surrounded by the National Trust for Scotland woodland gardens. South facing and in a magnificent setting with wonderful views of sea and the mountains of Skye rising to over 1000m. Although extremely private, lying along its own track of around 300m, it is only 3-4 minutes by car to Kyle of Lochalsh which has a railway station (the scenic railway line to Inverness really is world famous!) a bank, shops and an excellent supermarket. There is also a smaller supermarket and Post Office about a mile away. Our garden has a large lawn and is planted with Magnolias and mature species Rhododendrons from Bhutan, China and Nepal and which flower from February until August.
Doubled glazed with fitted carpets throughout; night storage heating and wood/coal burning stoves; both off-peak and instant electric hot water. If you want to keep in touch, we offer free Fast Fibre Wireless broad band WiFi. It is a wonderful location with great privacy. The skies above us in winter are ink-black and intoxicating - perfect for star-gazing! (when did you last see the Milky Way .....?!)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great location, very comfortable cottage! We were 2 couples staying and found it spacious and loved waking up and overlooking the water! Check in is simple, the cottage well equipped and there wasn't anything more we needed. Anna is excellent about communicating and has great suggestions. A short drive to the bridge to Isle of Skye as well!

Beautiful old cottage!

This was a wonderful place to stay in Balmacara, near Kyle of Lochalsh. The neighbors told us the history of the house. The area was wooded and quiet! I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Very special location.Cool, spacious house.Some parts are a bit old—think of the bathroom and kitchen—but everything worked just fine.My advice is to replace all the pans in the kitchen with ones suitable for an electric stove.But overall, a very beautiful, unique, and enjoyable location.

Lovely older home and good location for getting onto Isle of Skye. It rained quite heavily during our stay and was very windy. Something kept hitting the second floor of the house due to wind making it difficult to sleep. Skye is beautiful, even in the rain. It takes a while to drive to places, so plan accordingly.

The area was beautiful. We had an SUV that we could barely get through the gate & very hard to turn around. The house was old but very eclectic. It was damp & cold. It was kinda difficult having the bathroom on the first floor with all the bedrooms upstairs but luckily we didn’t have problems with stairs.

Close to Kyle and Skye with Fabulous Views

The vintage cottage was quite charming. Our family enjoyed the close proximity to Isle of Skye and the tranquility of being nestled in the woods after a full day of exploring. As others have stated - the views were beautiful, even in the rain!Host communications was excellent. They provided clear instructions and a list of things to see and do in the area. Home is close to groceries and dining options. Kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials. Beds are comfortable and extra blankets are available.

Amazing. Comfortable and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. Loved the big soaker tub and shower. Heated towel racks were great. The views were fabulous. Easy access to Isle of Skye. Did a day trip to Loch Ness. Directions and instructions for arrival were great! We were challenged to operate the oven because the “labels” are faded and we don’t know the symbols (easy fix with a permanent marker). We had a 9 passenger van. It was tight to turn around at the top of the drive - not a problem, just a heads up for folks. Ask about parking elsewhere? Great spot!!

Kyle in May

The cottage is dated and although it was clean we felt it could have had the heating a bit higher to stave off the damp (it rained every day). We were renting a long car (Volvo XC90) and the access and ability to turn the car was very tight.The views from the cottage are stunning, even with low cloud and rain. It was lovely to sit with a nice warm fire.Access to Skye and Plockton was easy and we enjoyed some beautiful scenery and excellent beer and food.Many places close Sunday and Monday, but luckily not the Co-op. Don't buy wood at the Kyle hardware store, we were charged 10.50 a bag.Overall a lovely 3 days and I would go back.

Great Views and location

This renovated cottage would be best for a family rather than elder adults. We found the stairs daunting and the tub unsafe climbing in and out. All the furnishings are adequate , some updating to the lounge furniture, beds, pillows would certainly enhance the stay. Access to the closet in the second bedroom would help. The one call to the manager was never returned. Once we found our way in, the quiet, peaceful setting was greatly appreciated.
