What a gem of a place. The food was beautiful and so clearly homemade. The staff were great and the hotel is just stunning. The kids menu isn’t full of rubbish which is so rare, both my kids had the burger and it was gorgeous. I had the spaghetti and it was delicious. Please go and enjoy a lovely family meal here.

Last minute stop over on way further North. An excellent hotel. Staff could not have been nicer. Food was tremendous. I had sea food trio salad,which was lovely and IMO reasonable price. My soup as a starter was very homely. My partner is vegan this Hotel is on the ball as they had a menu for Vegan. She thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a few drinks in the bar. Plenty of whisky choices. Plenty of rum selections. Breakfast was basic but very good choice. In summary this was a great choice. We will 100% use again. Oh and newtonmore is a lovely stop over. Thanks for making us welcome and comfortable.

We visited in early April when the West Highlands had not really opened for the season. On the way home we stayed for one night in Newtonmore (and immediately wished we had planned for more). It’s a pretty village with plenty outdoors possibilities. The Balavil was quiet, so the staff had time to interact with guests, starting with James, who welcomed us like returning regulars and gave us a room upgrade (on top of the decent online rate). The room was very comfortable and the evening meal was excellent. We didn’t come prepared to use the hotel pool, but that will be for the next time. The Balavil still preserves its Victorian spaciousness, combined with modern rooms with up-to-date facilities, and clearly deserves its excellent online reviews. It does what it does very well; the only thing I would change would be the breakfast coffee - cafetière please.

This was our second stay at the balavil and it did not disappoint!! Excellent food, great staff and a warm clean cosy bedroom, perfect after a nice walk round Newtonmore. Loved the pool for the kids and the sports bar was great for a quiet drink. Look forward to our next stay in the summer!

The hotel was the perfect get away for a couples weekend. The location is perfect for all local amenities and easy travel to Aviemore and Inverness, a great base for a highland retreat. The food was exceptional and the staff were all very nice and helpful. The facilities were great and the swimming pool has recently been refurbished, it was beautiful. The bar area with open fire was very cosy and had a huge selection of drinks including local whiskey. We will definitely come back here. Thanks for a great stay

Homely Well Run hotel, excellent food, terrific staff. The team led by James, including Isla, David, Mark, and young Logan were very professional and friendly. The room whilst small, was more than adequate, and it had a new walk in shower in the en-suite.We had a great time, and I would definitely recommend this wee hotel.

Staff were exceptional very friendly and inviting. The rooms were very nice clean and comfortable and the food was outstanding evening meal and breakfast everything was reasonably priced the deep fried Brie was one of the best thing I’ve ever tasted so compliments to the chef. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Second time I've stayed here and as good as the first time. Despite fake leather in unpromising looking foyer the rooms are very modern, clean and quite stylish. Staff are what make it stand out - always very helpful and dinner and breakfast are decent. For the price, it's excellent.
