「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...
「The twin room is very basic as it states. Just be aware that separate tub and shower actually means one ‘shared bathroom’ with everyone else on the floor. It would be helpful to have the light operable above the sink. It was a very last minute booking due to a ferry cancellation , but it is very close to the ferry terminal. The owner did supply us with a bagged lunch as our departure was very early in the morning which we appreciated very much.」
「Nice, simple, clean room in Benbecula, South Uist. The innkeeper was very welcoming and friendly. There is a nice hotel restaurant a short walk away from the Hebridian Stay. We would stay here again the next time we visit south/north Uist.」
「An absolutely beautiful place - the view was spectacular and the guest house was extremely well appointed.
It is VERY far removed from, well, everything.
We loved the space and would highly recommend it, but for at least a couple of nights stay.
Be certain to have a phone that is FULLY functional in the UK (my Canadian phone did not often connect to British data) as we didn't receive our entry access until after we'd had the cleaning lady (who was wonderfully helpful) contact Elly the owner....
「Very close to the town centre, so it was very convenient to take part in the tour to go round in the island. Nice view from the room window facing the symbolic castle. 」
