Friendly welcome, comfortable room, good guest lounge, great breakfast, lovely position but the home bake treats when you arrive back from your day's walk are what we will remember! The third stay of our first visit to the Outer Hebrides. It just got better and better, with Barra just gobsmackingly beautiful. We will be back..

Warm friendly welcome, more than adequate double room with neat compact en-suite to the rear of the house. Sea view not necessary in a B&B but en-suite preferred. Great treats with home-cooking tray bakes, and excellent breakfasts. Can't fault this B&B; it had everything we would have hoped for on a holiday trip, and at a very good price too.

Rooms are warm, clean, and the views from the front are lovely. Sharing a bath room with the other non-ensuite was not a problem, bath robes in room as well. Very friendly, excellent breakfast (top quality stuff inc home baked bread and exquisite black pudding) and free freshly baked cakes in the room every day. Doreen could win the great... More

Don't miss this place! Our bus from the airport drove us to the door, welcomed by Doreen and by her famous baking. A terrific breakfast, and endless help and advice from Doreen. An excellent base for exploring one of Scotland's most beautiful islands.

All the bread here is homemade....brilliant. The breakfasts are fantastic and cooked to perfection with a huge pot of tea and lovely view from the... More

I stayed for three nights in early September and have to say that Doreen and Donald run one of the best B&B's I've stayed in. Lovely touch leaving a goodie bag of home baking each day as snacks and the breakfasts are superb. All in all a great stay and would recommend to anyone wishing to visit Barra (the B&B... More

We only had a short stay whilst travelling around the Outer Hebrides but were made very welcome by Doreen. The room was immaculate and very comfortable and the breakfast was marvelous. Would definately recommend.
