Location
Balnagown Estates is 46 km from Inverness Castle and 36 km from Strathpeffer Spa Golf Club. Inverness Railway Station is 46 km away, while Inverness Airport is 58 km from the property. The estate boasts garden views and is a short drive from three grocery stores and the town of Tain.

Guests can cycle on the estate's private roads, hike the grounds, or fish in the lochs equipped with a rowing boat and paddle boards. The walled garden has free-to-pick apples, pears, plums, vegetables, and flowers, and a summer house at the weir offers indoor and outdoor seating. A log-fired pizza and BBQ area sits next to a fishing loch with a sheltered seating area for water sports and bathing.
Pet-Friendly
The estate provides pet baskets and pet bowls for guests traveling with dogs. Dogs are allowed off the lead across the entire estate, as the only vehicles belong to staff and cottage occupants. The property also offers family rooms and board games, making it suitable for families with children.
Gardens: Walled garden with free fruit, vegetables, and flowers
“This estate presents a truly expansive opportunity for a restorative Highlands escape, with accommodations catering to various group sizes and a remarkable array of complimentary amenities, from cycling and archery to fishing and extensive gym facilities. The grounds themselves, including a charming walled garden and secluded lochs, invite leisurely exploration, enhanced by the genuine warmth of the staff. It strikes me as a destination where one could easily spend their entire holiday immersed in the natural beauty and available activities.”
