The Castlebay Hotel is a nice place to stay on Barra. I was only there from 5pm til 6am as I was catching the early ferry to Oban. The hotel itself is clean and tidy and has a nice reception area. My room (10) had a great view across the bay and was clean and warm (the wether outside was NOT good!). It had a very comfy bed and large bathroom which was slightly dated but clean. The TV had only 3 channels and seems to rely on sky as its input. I got bbc1, 2 and ITV and that was it. No wi fi in the room unfortunately, you had to go down to the communal lounge to get a signal. The food in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. The hotel will take £10 off per guest if you miss breakfast as I did due to the early ferry. I'd definitely stay here again if I was in Barra and had to get the early ferry (as it's literally a stones throw away!).

This older hotel is in good condition and our room [12] was clean and tidy with good quality bedding and towels and complimentary toiletries.
The view from this room is wonderful but slightly noisy when the early ferry arrives and departs [and with the odd drunks from the public bar arguing at closing time].
The crowning glory was the restaurant - I had scallops and pancetta as a main course and my wife, lamb tournedos - we both agreed that the food was as good as the best we've
tasted any where in our travels - compliments to the chef.
The manager seemed to be continually training the staff who we thought were very good anyway.
Not cheap at £95.00 b&b but it is a captured market.
We will return on our next trip to Barra.

I didn't expect to much from this remote hotel but was pleasently surprised. The staff are friendly and the rooms are modern and warm. The best feature of this hotel is the view looking out over the castle, featured in the film Whisky Galore. The food is excellant, including a good breakfast.

As good as it gets - lovely room with an excellent view over the bay and Kisimul Castle, superb food and first rate welcome and service. At £95 a night for a superior double it's excellent value and we were given an unsolicited discount on our final night as our ferry to Oban left too early to allow us to have breakfast. We'd certainly stay again and have no hesitation in recommendling unreservedly.
