Like others, as we drove up and parked, we didn't feel the location matched up to the description of the inn, but the panoramic views over the hills and lochs, obtained from the dining room , were beautiful, especially as the sun set during our evening meal, which was as delicious as we expected, and if anything understated in the menu .Certainly, it is one of the two best restaurants in the Uists. However, breakfast, was truly memorable in terms of the variety, and quality of what was on offer, with the best scrambled egg with salmon we have ever tasted, and of the same standard as we have experienced in the likes of award winning Kilcamb Lodge and Airds Hotel. Furthermore, in keeping with the relaxed informality of what is really a small hotel, we were able to choose when we had breakfast, in our case nearly 10am. as I wanted to do some early morning photography.
Unfortunately, we were too late to choose a superior room, but would do so the next time, as the basic room is rather small for twin occupancy.The price was very reasonable indeed, and as has been posted before, the Inn is centrally located, giving quick access to the Uists, and despite the feeling of being in a beautiful remote location, is less than ten minutes from the main spine road. We look forward to returning, and this would be our first choice of where to stayin the Uists.

Stayed 10 night here and really enjoyed the excellent food along with very freindly staff and owners. The breakfasts are some of the best I've seen with brilliant choice of food. The location is pretty central for the Uists and Benbecula and only a copuplke of minutes drive from the main road through the islands. Rioom was comfortable and the lounges are nicely furnished with a load of books to llok at if thye weather's on the poor side. The hotel has free wi-fi access which is useful in such a remote place as the Outer Hebrides. Would definitely stay here again and recommend without any reservation.

Cozy welcoming restaurant and lounge and with comfy sofas and views of mountains, water and big sky. Service feels more like friends than staff - but not over-familiar. Really good food and decent wine available. (Had sole goujons as a starter 3 days in a row.)Ideal bread and chicken or salmon sandwiches for packed-lunch out-and-about. Very helpful eg dropping everything and taking us to airport when problem with phones and taxi. Slept like logs in silence.

This Inn is a mixed bag but I have to say that overall it is a bit disappointing. Our room (mid price) was small and a bit old fashioned, neither of which concerned us greatly. However, it was in desperate need of attention, which concerned us more. The radiator had we were told, been sat on and pulled from the wall, so it was sort of propped up. Mending it would entail redecorating so hadnt been done we were told.

The owner laughed when he told us that the light above the bathroom sink has to be tapped to make it work (a 'safety' feature haha). The toilet flush was broken, so the cistern lid was partly off and we were instructed to squeeze two bits of plastic together from the workings inside to make the toilet flush. The sealant round the shower was patched up and tatty. We considered moving hotels, but knew that there was no availability elsewhere as we had looked before booking.

Breakfast on both days was spectacularly good, absolutely nothing to fault there. Dinner on the second night was also fine. However on the first night, I was served salmon which tasted off. For the first time ever I sent a meal back. The waiter confirmed to me that he had tasted it and it was "bad, really bad". There were apologies and of course no charge for my dinner.

So the good: breakfast - wonderful; dinner - on the second night - very good; the setting - spectacular; the waiting staff - excellent.

The not so good: the dated decor in our room

The bad: the faulty toilet, radiator and bathroom light; oh and the salmon, that was really bad.
