Fabulous!!

Gorgeous cottage in a fabulous and secluded spot but with the convenience of only being 10 minutes out of Inverness! The cottage was exactly as described and more. The directions and arrival information was detailed and precise and the cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. We would highly recommend and we will be booking again in the near future.

Beautiful Farmhouse

Loved the farmhouse, the interior design, and the attention to detail where everything you needed was catered to. I didn’t find the bed as comfortable but otherwise had a superb stay. I loved the location and the trails that were accessible from the Farmhouse. I only wished I had more time to spend there. Will definitely come back again.

Autumn in Inverness

Balnacraig Farm House is the perfect location for a exploring the city of Inverness and the surrounding countryside. It has all the advantages of a quiet countryside location which is only a short drive into the city. Comfortable and beautifully appointed with serene views over the estate.

A long weekend break

We had a very relaxed break at Balnacraig last weekend. The abundance of routes available for walking walk in the woods behind the house gave us a wide selection of grades ranging from steep mountain bike tracks to more gentle forest roads. The autumn colours made the walks enchanting and drives along the north side of Loch Ness a wonderful visual experience. Balnacraig was spotlessly clean and really comfortable, we had all we required for a home from home experience and it is so well located for ventures north, east and west. We focused on the west and look forward to making a return visit to explore more of Scotland from this location. Highly recommend this property and if it is anything to go by.... all the other properties available for rent at Dochfour.
