I travelled with my husband for business in July to Barra. The B&B is clean and very tidy, comfy beds and nice hot showers. Mrs MacPherson knows a great deal about her local area and was very helpful to us, helped us with the local bus service, where to eat at nights, what would be open on a Sunday, welcoming... More

After a wonderful week of self-catering on Barra we booked a single night in Aros Cottage bed and breakfast. We were greeted by clouds of midges surrounding the house.
