Hotels in Outer Hebrides

Places to stay in the Outer Hebrides tend to be small and personal, often run by the people who own them, with an emphasis on good food and a genuine welcome after a day on empty beaches or single-track roads. Broad Bay House and Scarista House show what the islands do well: comfortable rooms, strong views and kitchens that make the most of local seafood and lamb.

Stornoway has the widest spread of options, including the Cabarfeidh Hotel and Hotel Hebrides, useful if you want shops and ferries close by. Further south, Langass Lodge on North Uist and Baile-na-Cille on Lewis suit those happier away from any town, while Barra's Castlebay Hotel and the Pollachar Inn on South Uist work well for travellers following the causeway route down the chain.
