Stayed at The Balavil in May 2013. The rooms, although basic were clean and comfortable. The food was very good and considering we were a large group of 20+ they did a fantastic job of getting us all fed at the same time although we all chose different things from the menu. They even managed to source vegetarian sausages for... More

Hotel was very friendly and easy to find. Fairly basic but rustic accommodation with a good choice of bar food. Wi-Fi only worked in lobby area despite being advised it was available throughout the hotel. Lots of rennovation work going on which should improve the hotel by the spring time.

We were up for the fantatic skiing at Cairngorm, and found the hotel really lovely. The staff were very pleasant, and the pool was a definite plus after a day on the slopes. Would definitely consider staying again.

Myself and my family had a fantastic dinner. We were welcomed on arrival by a very friendly member of staff that made it clear that nothing was too much trouble. We were seated at a very comfortable table in a cosy setting, our jackets were taken and hung up and our drinks order taken. We were allowed ample time to... More

We had a lovely stay here over two nights on a special deal with dinner and a bottle of wine thrown in. Lovely warm and friendly. The only downside is that it's in need of some upgrades in both the rooms and the pool area (sauna was out of order and our room wardrobe doors did not slide across and... More

We are Scots living in Scotland but this is the first time for years that we have actually had a holiday at home, sunny and... More
