Luxury and charm
In the heart of Balleter, Balmoral Arms is a slice of traditional luxury with exceptional Scottish hospitality. The staff was engaging and attentive. The dining experience offered an intimate seating in a traditional Scottish dining hall. The rooms were very comfortable and clean.

Excellent stay.
Excellent hotel, spacious room, clean. Ideal location in the centre of the village. No lift lift but a member of staff carried our cases up for us. The food was excellent, for breakfast and dinner. No on-site parking but no problem at all finding an on street space (no restrictions) nearby.
