Balmore Farmhouse in Scaniport Reviews

Gillian Thornton
11th January 2025
Three generations had a wonderful week at Balmore. There was a lovely welcome pack of sweet and savoury treats and the Christmas decorations were beautiful. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen very well equipped and a lovely log burner kept us very cosy each evening. Games and puzzles for the children and information about places to visit were great. Gorgeous location although there seemed very few places to walk from the house. Most tourist spots are a good half hour’s drive away. Beautiful drive through the highlands to Loch Ness (though somewhat scary due to the snowfall overnight)! Local amenities are good…..Tesco’s is a 5 minute car journey. All in all a fabulous week. I would highly recommend and would definitely return in future. Thank you, Angela and Neal
