Top Outer Hebrides Hotel Reviews

The Cabarfeidh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with excellent staff who were welcoming and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay here. Room was large and comfortable with very comfortable beds. Nice bathroom. Excellent hearty breakfast."

Welcome to our romantic, traditional thatched blackhouse; an ideal retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The white cottage is beautiful and larger than I expected (the photo of the living room doesn't do it justice). The location is great with the amazing Clachan Sands nearby.The house has been cared for, there's a 4 poster bed (a very large duvet) and a power shower, what more do a couple need for a week away.A super cottage that I definitely recommend"

Hebridean Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Linda was very helpful, we lived meeting her! She suggested a great restaurant for dinner and we were so happy for it. Our room was clean and comfortable with a nice view of the street below and park across. The room was very large with a separate loveseat to sit on and relax. Breakfast was great and the serving team was lovely."

Magnificent views from our 2 Bedroom well appointed, comfortable family home

10/10 Excellent

"Taransay Cottage is a dream! Our second stay here. We feel so at home with everything in the cottage needed to ensure we have the best time no matter the weather. The location is perfect. Close enough to walk to the most beautiful beaches. Stunning sunsets. Great to order freshly made pizza from Croft 36 just across the road!A few minutes drive to have the best fish and chips washed down with Great beer and wine at The Brewery on The Pier Leverburgh. Played 9 holes golf on what must be one of the most scenic golf courses. Walked a different beach every day.Only slight issue was the matress was a bit too soft for us and we didnt ever manage to work out how to turn on the radiator in the bathroom for drying towels but there is a tumble dryer so it wasn't a real issue. We loved our stay and will be back. Thank you."

Stornoway Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"What a delightful place to stay in the charming town of Stornoway! Just a block off of the harbor on a quiet street. We stayed in the adjacent location which had a full kitchen and all necessary amenities, as well as a large television. The breakfast, including gluten free and vegan options, was simply extraordinary with wonderful choices, including homemade pastries by the owner. Our stay here just enhanced the overall experience of Stornoway. Highly recommended!!!"

KETTLE COTTAGE - Pet friendly, cosy Hebridean Cottage on North Uist

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in Kettle Cottage in late June 2026. The cottage is superb. Every detail has been thought about. All the furniture, bedding, linens and equipment is all very good quality. Decoration is first class with everything carefully coordinated. The place is warm and cosy with electric heating throughout plus a peat fire if you wish for it.The coastal headland location is as good as it gets.Communication with our host through the Verbo app was quickly and helpfully responded to.Excellent throughout, I wouldn't hesitate to return."

Brae Lea Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Brae Lea is far more than one would expect. The location is a short walk to the Ferry Terminal at Lochboisdale - yet driving from the north, you feel as if you’re nestled in the foothills of a mountain (because you are). Rupert is an outstanding host, and he doubles as a 5-Star concierge. He helped us sort travel and touring arrangements as well as made breakfast and suggested dinner options. The Brae Lea accommodations are also top drawer. Clean - efficient - spacious - inviting. Full marks - on every count."
