I recently visited this hotel with 7 family members for lunch. The restaurant was quiet - only 2 other parties. It took the owner a long time to decide if indeed they could serve us & he was far from welcoming. When being shown to our seats the owner expected us to sit at separate tables, he would not allow...

I stay here for 1 night on a business trip , I arrived late and did not have an evening meal although the hotel did offer to prepare a meal, the room I had gave a fantastic view of the Castle and harbour, the staff were very nice and I would recommend this hotel to anyone

The plus points first - superb position and views, friendly helpful staff and we enjoyed a clean,attractive, good sized room. Breakfast was very good and the haddock with two poached eggs was a very welcome alternative to the Standard Scottish Fry-Up. The cooking at dinner was less secure and while the steak pie was really excellent(there is obviously a fine... More

Unfortunately i spent my first night on Barra in a much nicer room at another hotel where the view from the room was breathtaking, and paid a LOT less than I did for my parking lot view... More

The accomodation on all the other islands we stayed on was superb, excellent value for money, great rooms and going far beyond our expectations. On checking in at... More
