Good for the purposes of our visit, would stay again if I was back in the area.

Pros: Nice, well cooked breakfast, Friendly, helpful staff, Excellent location

Cons: Bathrooms were a little cramped Area leading to rooms was very dark at night i.e. the external lights didn't turn on until you had already reached your door.

Excellent location and views and the staff make you feel very special indeed.

Pros: The staff could not have been any more accommodating, from supporting a late check in to personalised breakfast time (I was the only guest).

A great start to a week driving the NC500.

Pros: We booked this hotel a week before, following a cancellation at another hotel nearby. It was our first night of driving the NC500. The weather was cold wet and windy so we were slightly apprehensive upon arrival. Our doubts were quickly gone. The hotel has an excellent location right on the sea front (when the weather is good). It is clean and comfortable. The food was superb. The staff were extremely friendly. We ate well, enjoyed the live music, slept and continued on our journey next morning feeling very refreshed. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Cons: The weather when we arrived, but there is nothing you can do about that.

Lovely stay - Good location. Good atmosphere in pub.

Pros: Excellent location. Food on the evening was very good indeed. Lovely bar area and beer garden for when they get the nice weather. Breakfast was good also. The room was very comfortable but a little chilly and for a room with a view - the view was the 3 gas holders at the back of the pub. We were staying for one night only so not a problem, but if we had been staying for a few days or a week I wouldn't have been happy.

Cons: Room a little chilly. View not brilliant!

A delightful stay in Balintore!

Pros: This is a lovely spot where you feel comfortable and very welcome. We rented three separate rooms that were spotless and very comfortable. We all enjoyed dinner and breakfast which were tasty and plentiful. If you are doing the North Coast 500 trip, do yourselves a favour and stay here. We wished we’d booked two nights! The word to describe both the Inn and the staff is delightful!!

Cons: Nothing- it was perfect
