Balnacraig, has been equipped and furnished to a high standard to ensure as comfortable and relaxing holiday as possible. Set in the small hamlet of Craigton and a short distance from the seaside village of North Kessock, Balnacraig makes the perfect base for exploring the beautiful part of the northern Highlands. Only 3 miles from Inverness, visitors will find a wealth of historic and cultural attractions as well as a very good selection of shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. Culloden Battlefield, Fort George, Cawdor Castle and Loch Ness are just a few of the many interesting places to visit. Take a boat trip on the waters of the Moray coast and hopefully catch sight of the blue nose dolphins which the area is renowned for. For the more energetic, there is hill walking and mountain biking through the woodland in the forest trails behind Balnacraig. A large variety of water sports, fishing, boat trips and numerous golf courses are just some of the many activities available within easy driving distance. The Cairngorms National Park and Aviemore which is set in the heart of the park, is a very popular destination for winter sports and is just over 40 minutes’ drive away. Take a trip along the Moray Malt Whisky Trail or a day out to the lovely Isle of Skye or the Orkney Islands (available Jun-Aug) which are both well worth visiting - there is so much to see and do for all ages. For the less energetic, sit back and relax whether it be in the hot tub or in the living area and watch the ever changing views from this lovely property. Many happy memories will be made in this beautiful and unspoilt destination. Beach 1 mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile. Free WiFi Families or couples only.

It is super easy to get to town. The owner met us at the house and walked us through the house. Which is fantastic. With a great view of the water. The owner could not have been nicer and more helpful. The house is quiet and well-appointed. We enjoyed the hot tub and there are five large bedrooms for lots of guests and family. We really enjoyed everything about the house. Thank you Gill. ##### Paul B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lianne W.
