Welcome to the Balmacara Hotel, where Skye beckons from the front windows, the glorious hills of Wester Ross from the back, and the scenery tends to set its own very high standards. The Balmacara Hotel is situated on the shores of Loch Alsh, approximately 3 miles from Kyle of Lochalsh, the main crossing point to the Isle of Skye. Most of our bedroom windows frame views of Loch Alsh and, in our restaurant the picture is larger but much the same. Faced with all this, we developed our own hoteliers philosophy. Broadly speaking its based on the idea that if our guests are ever to drag themselves away from our windows, we must make it worth their while.
