A group of us cycling the Hebridean Way stopped her for two nights. I’d describe the hotel as comfortable. The rooms are in good decorative order. The highlight of my room was the shower, fabulously powerful! The food was on the whole good. Again the best dish I ate was the langoustines with chive butter. These were excellent. The venison casserole was bland. The start of the stay was Tyler the young barman. He was working on his own to serve the restaurant and the bar with beers taps that were faulty. He handled us as customers brilliantly. After being kept waiting for nearly 20 minutes for a drink, he took the initiative to give free drinks to those of us that had waited a long time. He kept calm and handled the whole dilemma extremely well. I’d employ him any day! Well done mate. A charming young man.

Dreadful place, will not return. Overpriced, small & unclean room, complained and was upgraded to a family room, still overpriced, not all that clean, shower rail not working, so wet towels remained wet Our room wasn't cleaned during our stay, found evidence of previous guests in the room , made us suspect that it wasn't cleaned particularly well between bookings. Only ate dinner once here , it was ok. Breakfast mixed, why use the cheapest of cheap bread for toast? was as thin as cardboard with a similar taste. Yoghurt & fruit advertised on menu, never saw any yoghurt & 2 bananas arrived on day 3! Was here for 3 nights! took full payment at booking ( wise move on their behalf, would have checked out after night otherwise) It's a real shame, because of the amazing location , this hotel could be something special. Dodgy booking system , suspicion that they use some sort of dynamic pricing in reverse , the earlier one books , the more expensive it is! In great need of refurbishment.

Never made it there because I thought I was booking a room on Barra, There was a medical emergency with our ferry to Barra. We would have gotten to Castlebay too late to get transportation to our hotel on Uist.

What a beautiful place! We absolutely loved our time here! The place is dated. That’s for sure! But it didn’t detract from the charm and utter beauty of its setting. The restaurant food was excellent, staff lovely and friendly and breakfast was delicious. If you are in this region I’d get there. The beaches, the closeness to Eriskay, the utter charm of the place as well as their selection of gins!

What a delightful stay we had! The hotel is incredibly charming. The food and service was great. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet. The beach (100 ft away) is beautiful. It is also five minutes from Eriskay and a short ferry ride to Barra.

Disappointed
On our recent stay at the Polochar Inn we were very disappointed, The room had not been cleaned for a long time considering the thickness of dust, as you can see from these photographs. We were leaving early the next morning at 6.00am and had been promised by The Polochar Management that take away breakfasts would be left out for us, nothing was there. We followed up with an email noting our disappointment but received no reply.
