Located in Balmacara and only 5.1 km from Kyle of Lochalsh, Cozy Shepherd hut 20 by 7 feet with boxed in high double bed provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking....

I traveled by motorcycle to the Shepherd hut, the what 3 word’s location details made navigation easy. The hut is cozy and has great views of the surrounding mountains. Gillian was an excellent host. Highly recommended if you fancy something interesting for your accommodation.

The Old Post Office House BnB, hotel in Balmacara

The Old Post Office House BnB offers accommodation in Balmacara, 8 km from Eilean Donan Castle and 41 km from Museum of the Isles.

Stunning view from room across the water opposite with views towards the Skye Ridge. However the premises are located on the main A87 trunk road carrying all the heavy lorries rumbling noisily down from Skye and the Western Isles towards Inverness or further south towards Scotland's Central Belt. It's all good if you don't mind the traffic or walking along a main road.

We knew it was a guest house only with no staff and just a cereal breakfast but have to say we paid less for hotels elsewhere that included full staff and cooked breakfast included. Seemed a bit run down.

    Handy for access to Skye. Plockton and Eilean Donan Castle.

    Handy for access to Skye. Plockton and Eilean Donan Castle. Breakfast at Old Post Office Balmacara rather inadequate in that it would not set you up for the day. Old Post Office is overpriced for the facilities and breakfast provided. You will need to arrive before 5pm while the housekeeper is still on duty just incase Booking.com have supplied an incorrect key code

    Gorgeous farmhouse off the beaten path.

    Gorgeous farmhouse off the beaten path. It’s a bit of a drive from the city center, but that wasn’t an issue for me. I enjoy the peacefulness the countryside offers. The house is surrounded by nature. Including the cows and sheep that graze the land. The owner is friendly and accommodating. House is extremely clean and the breakfast was great. Highly recommend.

    Balmacara square has a cafe, deli and interiors/ gift shop...

    Balmacara square has a cafe, deli and interiors/ gift shop but in truth is not particularly exciting. Ashley distance away is the beach road with a Spar shop and a hotel/restaurant. Kyle of Lochalsh just 3 miles away had a small number of shops and cafes but it's not particularly exciting. Visit Plockton for good eating places and scenic views. Also visit the crofting village of Duirnish and see the highland cattle roaming freely throughout the village. We enjoyed the scenery and activities in the mainland more than on in Skye, which is busy and rather overrated. Portree, the capital was a particular let down. Try a trip to Glenelg. These is a cafe, pub and shop in the village. I'm route there stop at the viewpoint to see the Five Sisters.

    WONDERFUL!!! Hostess was incredible! Gave wonderful restaurant suggestions. Hut was extremely well appointed. She thought of everything! There were farm fresh eggs stocked in the refrigerator, oatmeal, jam, coffee, and tea. The decor was just beautiful. The bedding was gorgeous, and comfortable. Village was charming and quiet. Isle of Skye short drive away. Absolutely loved our stay!

    Location. Facilities, especially the easy to work radiators. Cleanliness. Sea breeze, so only midges once during the week. The fish & chip van that parked outside on Thursday, the food was fantastic. The well stocked local shop and nice hotel (though they would not take dinner bookings during our stay, we could only use the bar for a drink).

    The location is spectacular, the accommodation comfortable and wonderfully private. Extras, including supply of foodstuffs and toiletries gave this tiny cabin a hotel level of luxury.
