Spotless rooms, friendly and helpful proprietors and staff. I highly recommend the Heathbank Hotel. The only negative comment I would make would be that the bar food wasn't as great as everything else. Generous helpings but the seafood was overcooked and the coleslaw tasted like it wasn't home-made (I do admit we're fussy when it comes to food). During our... more

Great retreat. We stayed here as a prelude to our cycle tour of the hebrides. The staff could not have been more friendly. The owners are certainly in the right business and this can be seen in the details. The place is immaculate and rooms very comfortable. Evening meals are about as good as you could expect for such a... more

I had to visit Barra recently on a photography project. I researched hotels on the island using Tripadvisor and decided on Heathbank. I booked via the hotel's website, this process being handled accurately and efficiently. The hotel itself is located in Northbay on the east coast of the island 10 minutes from the airport.

Found this lovely small hotel hiding at the north end of Barra. And are we glad we found it - it allowed us to escape a horrendous experience at the much more expensive Isle of Barra Hotel.

The room was comfortable, as was the bed; the bath was deep and roomy and the shower easy to work and effective (unlike the... more

I booked a meal for 7 adults & 6 kids, friendly staff greeted us and served us quickly and with good banter also very good food we where all delighted with our visit to this facility that we came back following day and will use on our next visit to Barra. more

The Heathbank is a small hotel, tucked out of the way in the North-East of Barra, where it also serves as the local pub. The small number of guests makes for a friendly and convivial breakfast time, while the bar seems to be popular (not to say, noisy) with both locals and tourists at lunchtime and in the evenings. The... more

Very friendly & helpful staff. The room was well furnished, clean and the beds very comfortable. Food good and fairly priced. Hotel is located on the east coast. It does not have panoramic views of the sea like some of the other hotels but it does have a small loch opposite and is closest to the best beaches on the... more
