First vist to Skye - why did I leave it so long? This is a beautiful island and Balloch is a great base for travelling round. The rooms are spotless, and well maintained. A good breakfast and the hostess and her husband make sure you feel welcome from arrival to departure. A 10 minute walk into the village centre. Easy... More

Portree was a nice home base for our first trip to Skye. We stayed for 2 nights here before moving on, and it was a great choice. Good size parking lot, lovely room but with a slightly cramped ensuite. Great breakfast! Barbara was nice enough to give us the same order on the second day when we forgot to give... More

Balloch is in a good spot in Portree, right off of Viewfield Rd. They have a good size parking lot where you can get a few vehicles in. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the harbor area and is a 3 min walk to the Petrol station where there is a mini mart you can buy snacks at. The... More

We were made very welcome, and the room was clean, warm and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and we appreciated the lift with our bags to catch the early bus. A very pleasant stay in spite of the weather!

Barbara Campbell took us under her wing and made our stay a treat. We were without our own car so Barbara drove us to town for our dinner time. The B and B is all you can expect with comfort, service and a particularly good breakfast. You can't miss here.

We were fortunate to be able to stay in the Balloch Guest House while on a five-day tour of the Scottish Highlands and found it to be one of the best, if not the very best, B&B we've ever stayed in. The center of Portree was an easy 10-minute walk. Our room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. There was... More

Barbara and her husband really look after their guests with warmth, care and quiet efficiency, We stayed 4 days and enjoyed their hospitality. Room was extremely comfortable and breakfast was up with the best B&Bs we have experienced.
