We had a lovely holiday at Balnacraig. The house is spacious, well appointed and equipped and has outstanding views towards Inverness.Gill, the owner was very kind and knowledgeable about local amenities.We were able to visit Loch Ness and the Cairngorms with ease. The bridge towards Inverness was very busy at times. We would have made our itinerary different to accommodate this if we had realised sooner.Scotland is a wonderful place to visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
