Summary: Lovely place. Every evening we had a min. of 15-20 deer grazing right around the house. An absolute awesome view of Loch Ness and surrounding areas. I would gladly live here the rest of my days. Five stars! 👍👍👍

Summary: This property is a great find. Foremost, the views are stunning and unique. It’s secluded and private. The home is loved and clean. Room to spread out, and helpful notes to help you navigate your stay abound. The hosts have thought of everything; we very much appreciated the toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, milk and cookies, dvd’s and more. A storm knocked the internet out on our second day and Graham was easily accesible by a phone call to help us get it sorted. The home is ideally situated for exploring Loch Ness and Inverness and we feel fortunate to have gotten to stay here. We loved our stay and our teens agree. This was a gem of a property. Thank you for the memories.

Summary: Lower Balmore cottage is in an absolutely stunning setting, the views are out of this world. The house itself is clean and tidy and superbly equipped. Although it's large it is very homely and warm. There is so much to do it's impossible to list it all. But the beach at Rosemarkie is a must. I swam there twice during our stay. And the village is gorgeous too. Fortrose,close to Rosemarkie has shops and cafes etc. Graham, our host was most helpful and responded promptly to any questions we had. The only small thing I would recommend is that the welcome pack ne extended to two pints of milk, bread eggs and maybe a packet of bacon, but this is only a suggestion as the shop at Drumnadrochit is only 15mins drive and we shopped there the next day. Overall we had a fantastic week at lower Balmore, and recommend it highly. In fact we would most definitely return.

Summary: What a fantastic break we have just had in this family home. You cannot appreciate the location until you drive down the private track and see the house, to turn the corner and WOW that view hits you, just breath taking. Location was a short drive to Inverness and other restaurants about 5 miles away. Definitely Definitely recommend to enjoy the beautiful Scottish scenery. Will certainly be returning. Warm regards The Harrisons

Summary: We loved staying at Lower Balmore. It was perfectly set up for us and our 8 and 10 year olds - huge rooms, stunning views and lots of space to run around outside. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed walking, cycling and swimming in lochs in the local area. The property is absolutely wonderful and we would definitely come back in future.

Summary: I am writing this review with some hesitation. Not because the property fell short but because am hesitant to let everyone know about this lovely gem of a cottage in the Highlands of Scotland and I am very tempted to keep it to myself. :) The cottage is as you see it but once there it is much bigger than the pictures. It is idyllically set on a hillside overlooking Loch Ness and has the most amazing unobstructed views. The cottage is perfect for families but I could see going there with friends too for a getaway. Its close to so many activities - we went before they reopened a lot of them on Aug 1 due to Covid19 restrictions, so we will be back to sample them in the very near future. Having said all that there are so many beautiful places to visit as day trips that are less than an hour or so from the cottage - the location is ideal as a base from which to explore the Highlands. The cottage is super cozy and comfortable. Most of all it was spotlessly clean. Everything is labelled with instructions which made it very easy to navigate the home and quickly become comfortable with the workings of the cottage. The fields in front of the cottage offer a lot of space if you have kids - to run around and enjoy the fresh air and we actually just stayed on property one day as we enjoyed it so much. Our host was super helpful not only on the workings of the cottage, very quick to answer any of our questions via email or text, but was also excellent with his local knowledge and suggestions of what to do e.g. how to find walking trails suitable for our 6 year old twin boys and the best beaches for fishing in rock pools ... The property handbook has everything you could need for the cottage and for local activities and things to do All in all it was just perfect - the cottage was as we had romanticised staying in the highlands would be, the views were breath taking and the location ideal for exploring, the cottage extremely clean and tidy and the host extremely friendly, welcoming, informative and responsive. Like I said we thoroughly recommend this a a great place to stay - but with some hesitation as I want to make sure there is availability so that we can re book it again for next summer or even this autumn. It was simply just perfect for our family

Summary: Loved this place so much. Could live here forever. House layout was amazing, plenty of space for the whole family. Loved just sitting in the kitchen and relaxing looking out the window or playing cards with the kids. It was so peaceful. Perfect for our needs.

Summary: I would like to endorse what all the other positive reviewers have stated, especially John O. (Aug 2017). The location and stillness are great. The details do not make clear that you are about 200 meters above the loch. This means that the views are spectacular, and sometimes you are looking down onto the mist over the water. The directions given by the owners made the property easy to find. I strongly recommend the Tesco delivery service, who know exactly where the cottage is, and deliver with no problem.
