Balnacraig in Craigton Reviews

Gill
14th August 2025
We had a lovely holiday at Balnacraig. The house is spacious, well appointed and equipped and has outstanding views towards Inverness.Gill, the owner was very kind and knowledgeable about local amenities.We were able to visit Loch Ness and the Cairngorms with ease. The bridge towards Inverness was very busy at times. We would have made our itinerary different to accommodate this if we had realised sooner.Scotland is a wonderful place to visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely location, very comfy, hot tub was icing on the cake. I have to say that it was very pricey for what it was. Owner was very friendly, my grown up daughter wasn’t impressed to show she could operate a key to raise the hot tub lid! Th3 group was also miffed that she needed to come back to check the chemicals (understandable) and to do the garden but she then entered the property when we weren’t there which opened her up to theft claims! Not that anything was missing but we just felt that it wasn’t necessary.
