Breakfast was top notch, well cooked, well presented and plentiful. Could not fault it. The room (7) was well presented, clean, tidy and comfortable. On the down side it was extremely hot and a blocked overflow drain kept us awake most of our first night. However, there was no issues and once we had pointed out that the overflow was a problem we were promptly oved to another room. The heating in the initial room was stifling but it should be noted that we visited in January and the outside temps were sitting around 0 degrees C what was too hot for us may well have been perfect for others. Staff were exceptional and we made friends with the owners wee dog. All in all Balcary is a great place to stay and I would very much recommend it.

We arrived very late in the evening about 9:30pm and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or more helpful. They recommended a local takeaway that delivered and allowed us to eat our food in the bar and have a drink. Our room was huge and very comfortable. We’ll definitely be back.

House and location are excellent. The property has been thoughtfully restored and the decor matches its fine Victorian grandeur perfectly. Catering is limited and of poor quality. Fixtures and fittings are low grade and poorly maintained. It is inexpensive.

Lovely Hotel and staff.

We stayed here the night before I had a race, the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We arrived later due to traffic and a road closure, so missed ordering food, however we were recommended some restaurants that were dog friendly and local takeaways that we order to the room. We had one of our dogs staying with us, we were advised there was a little paddock at the front of the gardens that's was secure for him to play in. My partner returned to the hotel after dropping me in the morning and had a lovely breakfast with our dog. The room was immaculate and smelled amazing, however they cleaned it was the best smelling room Ive staying in. As for the reviews saying "the place smelled of dog" absolutel nonsense. I've stayed in non pet friendly hotels which were no where near as lovely and fresh as this one. Only negative is I wished we'd stayed longer and will definitely be back.

On arrival at hotel we were greeted with “name!” No hello , welcome. The man was not made for customer service. Told our room number but not how to get to it. Whole hotel smelled of dog. We have stayed in hotels before that are dog friendly but never had that overwhelming smell. Room was ok. Nothing soecial.

Great welcome from lovely staff... beautiful building, only criticism was the bathroom. It was large and spotlessly clean but it had a handbasin the size of a pudding bowl? and the shower was rubbish. It was a challenge to use, and the pressure was extremely poor.

Room excellent but room 2 saw next door and their bathroom was across the corridor entrance to our room so we could hear their door being opened during the night. Disturbing!
