About Baile-na-Cille

Baile-na-Cille occupies a former manse on the shore of Uig Bay, one of the most remote and least visited corners of Lewis, with a long stretch of white sand directly in front of the house and hills rising behind. It has been run for decades in an informal, house-party style rather than as a conventional hotel.

Bedrooms are comfortably old-fashioned, spread through the main house and an adjoining wing, and the dining room serves a set evening meal built around local seafood and garden produce, taken communally at shared tables in the manner of a country house rather than a restaurant.

Its position on Uig Bay is remote even by Hebridean standards, roughly forty minutes' drive from Stornoway, but rewards the journey with some of the quietest beaches on Lewis and easy access to walking routes into the surrounding hills and along the coast.

What guests say

Roy Collard

It would be difficult to speak too highly of Baile na Cille. A warm, comfortable cottage overlooking what is undoubtedly one of the finest views in Scotland. Jo and Richard are most welcoming and engaging hosts, determined to make our stay a totally fulfilling one. Good local places to eat, an outstanding shop, inspiring wildlife including both sea and golden eagles, and so many local beaches that it is not necessary to go far from base. We spent a wonderful week in the Hayloft.

Must have been 2004/5 when we went. Pre Internet as it is today. Amazing location and host, Richard Gollen. His dog passed away when we were there. Brilliant cook. Longing to return.
