We arrived very late in the evening about 9:30pm and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or more helpful. They recommended a local takeaway that delivered and allowed us to eat our food in the bar and have a drink. Our room was huge and very comfortable. We’ll definitely be back.

Breakfast was top notch, well cooked, well presented and plentiful. Could not fault it. The room (7) was well presented, clean, tidy and comfortable. On the down side it was extremely hot and a blocked overflow drain kept us awake most of our first night. However, there was no issues and once we had pointed out that the overflow was a problem we were promptly oved to another room. The heating in the initial room was stifling but it should be noted that we visited in January and the outside temps were sitting around 0 degrees C what was too hot for us may well have been perfect for others. Staff were exceptional and we made friends with the owners wee dog. All in all Balcary is a great place to stay and I would very much recommend it.

House and location are excellent. The property has been thoughtfully restored and the decor matches its fine Victorian grandeur perfectly. Catering is limited and of poor quality. Fixtures and fittings are low grade and poorly maintained. It is inexpensive.

A nice small, quaint and personal hotel

A lovely small and personal hotel with large and spacious room/ensuite. Breakfast was disappointing - a churlish waitress, a potato scone but no square sausage (a cooked breakfast in Scotland but not a Scottish cooked breakfast) - better cutlery and crockery would have been more fitting for Balcary House Hotel than the "Diner" style in use. I would stop here again.
