Stayed for 3 nights and the location was ideal for arriving on the later ferry. Lovely views from breakfast room. A really nice touch with Doreen leaving home baking in your room when you return each day. Great sandwiches from the Toffee shop just round from Castlebay much more superior than any prepacked nonsense from supermarkets. Doreen also has a... More

Rooms are very clean and home baking is provided in room daily. Some of the rooms aren't ensuite but the shared bathroom is very clean and a good size. Breakfast is good and Doreen is a natural host. Everything feels very efficiently run and organised. More

We were lucky enough to stay with Doreen and Donald during this year's Barrafest. Their hospitality is second to none. Doreen does a smashing breakfast and lovely home baking and the relaxed atmosphere just makes the stay top class. More

Our 1st trip to the Outer Hebrides and we had the great fortune of staying with Doreen and Donald for 2 nights. Doreen clearly knows her stuff but it was the completely natural and unaffected welcome when we arrived that set the tone. Use of our 1st names as if we were welcome friends just set us at ease and... More

First stop on our island hopping tour. Doreens was an excellent base, within walking distance of all the delights Castlebay has to offer. The rooms very comfortable and clean, and the home baking a very welcoming touch. We made good use of the lovely lounge provided for guests and watched Whisky Galore to put us in the mood for the...

We stayed 4 nights at this very good B & B. Doreen is an excellent hostess - she runs a very comfortable B & B. We really looked forward to Doreen's homebaking every day and especially when the weather was good enough to eat it alongwith a coffee on the patio and look out on a lovely view. More

We stayed at Hillside for the first two nights of our trip up the Outer Hebrides. This B and B is less than 5 minutes from the ferry, bike hire, post office, buses and shops. Doreen was an excellent host, she could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable and we had the resident's... More
