Reception Hall
When Mount Stuart House was destroyed by fire in 1878 the 3rd Marquess of Bute and his family lived at Balmory Hall until his own Gothic mansion was completed.
We have been fortunate enough to live here since 1999 and have sympathetically restored Balmory to preserve the elegance of opulent bygone times, providing spacious ensuite bedrooms and breakfast and individual self-catering or serviced apartments. The Lodge stands alone and is ideal for guests seeking complete seclusion.
