This is THE place to eat in South Uist, we ate there 3 out of the 4 nights we were on the island. Great food, great atmosphere and great views, even its own standing stone on the door step. The menu has some changes made to it daily so don't do as I did and go back a second night... More

A pleasant rather old fashioned hotel which is spoilt by the noisy yobs who frequent the public bar. If you like shouted abuse, slamming doors, revving car engines and blaring car radios, this is the place for you. Otherwise, take some good earplugs or find somewhere where the owners are more concerned about their residents than their noisy locals

A beautiful old change-house (where you waited for the ferry) in a cracking spot feet from the sea. My husband saw an otter as he unloaded our cases. Lovely room, lovely staff, great food - it even has its own standing stone! We will return!

Just the location would get this place five stars. It is right on the southern tip of South Uist, overlooking the Sound of Barra. Lying in bed, we could watch the waves and the ever changing weather-nothing but the hotel carpark lies between the Inn and the sea. We had one of the superior rooms. It was a good size,... More

The reason for our visit to the Polochar Inn was a mixture of business and pleasure, but our stay was very definitely a pleasure. From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was very tastefully fitted out and the bed was spacious and comfortable. The on-suite was... More

You know you're in the right place as soon as you arrive; a warm greeting is the tip of the service iceberg. Fanastic local seafood, spotless stylish rooms and a VIP sea view. The Polochar standing stone right outside might be over 2000 years old but this hotel experience is here and now!

Set at the tip of south uist is a traditional inn with modern bedrooms and great food.....and the scenery, the standing stone, the beach, the sunsets, the stars...all a step outside this lovely scottish inn. No midgies at this time of year too

We have just turned from a wedding celebration / stay at The Polochar Inn. This is an absolutely fantastic place and a must for visits to the Outer Hebrides. The location is perfect- beside the sea, with gorgeous white sandy beaches. The owners and staff are amazing. I have never been to a hotel where all the staff are so... More

We stayed at Polochar Inn in April 2013 for four nights and enjoyed a fantastic stay. The Superior Room was cosy for two adults and two children but comfortable. The staff were all attentive and enthusiastic, whether recommending places to go or dishes from the excellent menu. Local fish included King Scallops, Monkfish and Smoked Haddock, all delicious, cooked with... More

We have just had a lovely stay here. Although brilliantly sunny, (unlike most of the rest of the country there was no snow) it was chilly outside, the Inn was warm and welcoming. Our cosy room had a fabulous view across the bay. The breakfast was excellent and the evening meal just couldn't have been better (I recommend the salmon).... More
