Balnacraig

Balnacraig is a detached house in Craigton, a short walk from North Kessock, with views across to Inverness and the water beyond. The whole place is yours when you book: five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a hot tub for five, and grounds that run to woodland. Three of the bedrooms have king beds; two have zip-and-link singles. Each has its own ensuite, a television and a DVD player. There's a travel cot and highchair available if you need them.

The ground floor opens into a large living space where a 49-inch Smart TV faces the seating area, and the kitchen sits adjacent—equipped with an electric oven, induction hob, and combi microwave, plus a separate utility room with washer and dryer. A sun room overlooks the garden. Outside, decking and furniture face the grounds, and you have private parking for three cars. Wifi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. No smoking throughout.

Inverness itself is three miles away, with restaurants, shops and attractions including Culloden Battlefield, Fort George and Cawdor Castle nearby. The coast offers boat trips and the chance to see dolphins; inland, Loch Ness is accessible for exploration.
