Positive: Very comfortable and had everything we needed inside.
Negative: The gardens both back and front were very overgrown making the kitchen a living room quite dark. Also the narrow drive was made more so by the overgrown holly type bushes at the side.
Summary: Cosy and comfortable. Great space and beds were really good. Well serviced with essentials like washing up liquid, salt

Positive: Our family of five had a lovely stay at Balmara, we needed somewhere to stay for a family wedding near Elgin. The property was well equipped and comfortable, we loved the sitting room chairs, very relaxing! There is a lovely garden to the rear which unfortunately we didn't have time to use, and we were very near to the beaches. Thank you Rhona for a fantastic visit!
Summary: Fantastic family accommodation.

We had a wonderful stay at Bal Mara! The place was spotless and perfectly suited for our family. Its location was ideal — just a short walk to the beach and local shops. Rhona, the host, was absolutely lovely and made sure the home was well stocked with cooking essentials and even had some entertainment options for the kids, which was a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend for a relaxed and family-friendly getaway!
