It is a perfect place to stay but would like to have a small TV in the room. Also in the guest room there was no TV.

This B&B is set in a beautiful location. The house was clean, attractive and comfortable. Rupert is an excellent host, knowledgeable about the islands (has a pamphlet prepared which we found invaluable) is great to chat with and is a good cook! We would have no hesitation in returning.

I cannot begin to describe what a wonderful experience I had while staying here. Rupert is the ultimate host. Witty, funny, and full of knowledge not only about Uist but also the rest of the Outer Hebrides and surrounding areas. He sends you an email long before your travel date detailing what to expect along with dining recommendations. Upon arrival you find his humorous and fact filled travel guide waiting for you in your room. We had a couple of discussions on what to see and where according to my schedule along with Rupert providing pictures he had taken to show me what to look for. On top of all this, you start your day with his freshly prepared breakfast (eggs and local smoked salmon-you bet!). The accommodations are clean, welcoming and full of local art and supplies. You cannot go wrong staying here. A true gem!!
