Mike and Jackie were wonderful hosts during our 4 nights with them. They made our stay very comfortable and they have set up their B&B very well with all the little things being done to a high standard (and the big things)!

Stayed in the Rowen self catering apartment and could not ask for more. Warm, friendly and very relaxed. Apartment had everything you need there was even a fully dressed tree waiting for us on arrival. It was a real home from home!

Received a warm welcome after 4pm, room comfortable, breakfast plentiful. House is in a beautiful location within walking distance of the town centre. We started our walking holiday from The Balcarres and found this to be the only B&B without wifi which I would have found useful.

Mike is a mine of information about the local area and he cannot do enough to help. One small touch that impressed us was my wife took a bottle of wine and... More

Balcarres was a wonderful find in Fort William! I was lucky enough to spend two nights at this lovely guest home and loved it! The roome I stayed in (#2, w/two double beds) was well-appointed, comfy and had a great, ensuite bathroom to boot! Breakfasts include several delicious cooked to order choices as well as pentiful continental items as well.... More
