Stayed here for the first time with friends. Must say it had the best 'single' room I think have stayed in. Food is very good and conveniently the Inn has two bars... The views from the Inn are great. We stayed there just as a major storm was due and the staff were helpful in sorting out whether our ferry... More

Should have spent two days at the Polochar but owing to be storm got stranded on Barra so only spent the one night here. Location particularly if viewed from Eriskay is stunning. The staff were very helpful both when we visited and whilst we were trying to sort out our booking. Would stay here again if I get chance to... More

We couldn't get rooms at the Polochar but we ate there on three consecutive nights. The food was consistently excellent. So was the service from the friendly staff. Prices were very reasonable. Don't miss it!

We stayed at Polochar Inn on two nights a week apart while touring The Hebrides on bicycles. The setting is fantastic - especially if the weather is good. There are nice beach walks at the Inn and it is not far from Eriskay and Lochboisdale. The staff couldn't be nicer - Morag replied to my enquiry by return email and... More

Second visit. Rooms very well appointed with superb views to Eriskay and Barra. Excellent restaurant with very friendly service. Ideal situation for local touring within the Uists, Benbecula,Eriskay and by ferry to Barra. There is a cosy lounge in which to relax. Lovely walks on nearby beaches.

So good we ate here twice during our week on South Uist; the first time we hadn't made a reservation - Tuesday in April (didn't think it would be so busy), not a problem we were made very welcome in the bar. Food was excellent; so we booked for the Friday night - only disappointment was the menu had changed... More

The Polochar hosted my Wedding for me. Service and food were excellent, and all the guests were very well looked after. Could not fault it, and the most stunning venue for a Wedding in the whole of the Uk, at least that is what I think!
