Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally situated next to the stunning sandy beach on the island of Uist, offering a spectacular sunset view. While gas service to the island was unavailable, the beach access was a major highlight. The hotel provided hand-made tatty scones, but the dining experience may vary. Overall, the stay was cozy with friendly service and clean rooms, though some aspects could be improved.
The hotel is perfectly situated right by the sea in the Lochboisdale area, offering a great location. The rooms are comfortable, and the service is exceptional with a warm welcome drink. However, the dining options, although featuring hand-made tatty scones, could use more traditional fish dishes. The hotel facilities are well-maintained with modern amenities but at a slight premium.
The hotel is set in a lovely corner of South Uist, by the sea, offering a spectacular view of the sunset on the island of Uist. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff is welcoming.
