Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a great shop - both showcasing the very best of arts and crafts from the island - and eclectic world foods, and scoop store for ethical supplies.
I’m sure many locals use this store every day - and essential for all tourists.
Brought back some quality reminders from the island

I wish my local shop was this good! It has pretty much everything you could want, including herbs/spices/nuts etc sold by weight so you only buy what you need. They do refillable shampoo etc as well! The date slices are flipping delicious. If Barra had decent mobile phone signal I’d seriously consider moving there just so I could shop here

Coming to Barra and not visiting this place ought to be a criminal offence. It is a one stop shop for tourist information, bike hire, coffee/cakes, souveniors, eco-seeds/nuts, fresh meat/seafood, serviced laundry, etc... lovely service from 2-3 ladies.

Pop in and support the locals. Like so many outlets in the Outer Hebrides it is full of eclectic items. Browse, you are bound to see something to buy either for yourself or someone back home.

This community shop is so lovely. Apart from essentials they offer lots of locally produced goods and items, which are great as treats and for little presents to take home to family and friends. The candles smell divine and I am looking forward to wearing my knitted hat in winter.
The staff are second to none, really friendly and helpful and full of knowledge and great advice. Anyone visiting Barra should not miss this community shop, which is centrally located in Castlebay and has very convenient opening hours. To the staff: thank you, you are doing a wonderful job.

Local shop with lots of local produce on sale, well worth a visit. I bought a book called The Vatersay Raiders which I started reading while there.
