Shore Hotel

Gorgeous room, super cosy and bed was really comfy! We arrived much later than expected and staff were so kind in staying up to check us in. Breakfast was outstanding. Will definitely be back, thankyou!

Excellent stay in Balintore. Having stayed in the Balintore inn a number of times, this is a great addition to the area. Staff first class, rooms amazing. Sadly I didn’t get the chance to try the restaurant but will definately be back. The only minor comment which I hope the hotel fixes is the lights in the toilet as they are all on sensors and the timers are too sensitive, so found myself having a shower and brushing my teeth intermittently in the dark with the lights going on and off. I hope they fix, but this is a very small issue which can easily be addressed.

Great newly fitted small hotel in a great location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food, both dinner and breakfast were superb. Will be back!

Honestly the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. A lovely atmosphere and feel about the place. Breakfast was excellent. The view of the sea in the morning just made it.

What a fabulous transformation! The work by JJ Vass & Sons is amazing. The Hotel has been transformed into somewhere really special. The bar & restaurant, including the outdoor seating, are first class. Gorgeous views over the harbour & towards Shandwick Bay. The public bathrooms are stunning too, with beautiful Arran Aromatics toiletries. Our room was beautiful, with a modern seaside feel. Bed was comfortable, the temperature perfect, the bathroom gorgeous. Everything spotlessly clean. Toiletries another lovely touch. One thing I would flag for the future is the beautiful cream carpets throughout the communal areas & bedrooms. They look amazing, but I did wonder how easy they will be to keep pristine long term. We were very conscious of our shoes after walking on the beach, and of course not every guest will remove theirs! Perhaps just something to keep an eye on as the hotel gets busier. We ate in the restaurant and were so impressed. Huge portions, great value and absolutely delicious. The best langoustines we have ever had! The lobster was fantastic, and the steak & lamb from Fearn Farm were fabulous. Everything fresh & cooked to perfection. Breakfast lovely too. Second morning service a little slower and cooked breakfasts arrived without the beans. They did arrive, but unfortunately after we had eaten. Hopefully these are taken as helpful pointers. Balintore has a special place in my heart and I wish the hotel every success. We loved our visit and can’t wait to return!
