Orasay Inn

Small hotel with a warm welcome. Off the beaten track, so fortunately it had everything we needed - a well stocked bar and fabulous food.A bike shelter would be the only request we would make.

Fantastic food and hospitality great central location for doing North and South Uist service excellent

Made very welcome. Food great. Room and lounge very comfortable although could do with an update.

Allan and Isobel’s warm hospitality and delicious seafood provided a great base for a couple of nights on our holiday. The coastline was beautiful.

We were made very welcome and comfortable for our short stay. Our hosts were very friendly and capably attended to all our needs. The rooms were clean and cosy.

Everything about our stay was perfect. It felt like being thoroughly spoiled as if by family. The rooms were immaculate, nothing was a problem, our two dogs were happy in our room while we ate dinner and the clams and trout were incredible. Thank you.

Friendly hosts. Excellent evening meal and breakfast.Shower room was a bit dated but we enjoyed sitting in the lounge and chatting to other guests

A very comfortable stay with wonderful couple running the Hotel

As above

Very friendly hosts, good clean room with great views. Very good home cooked food with very generous portions would definitely recommend

Our first time on Uist and the Orasay Inn was absolutely perfect; lovely and welcoming and the food was amazing; centrally placed to discover both North and South Uist. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

I only stayed the one night but wish it had been longer. My single room was well appointed and the bed very comfy. Alan and Isobel were very welcoming hosts, and all the hype around the food is true - the monkfish scampi was magnificent! I loved the breakfast touches of individual reusable pots of yogurt and fresh fruit, and individual milk and juice bottles, and the full cooked was exceptional (I was defeated!). I would happily stay again at this perfect location.

We enjoyed our visit to South Uist and our stay at the Orasay Inn. Alan and Isabel are excellent hosts. The Inn is very comfortable and the food was really excellent.

Orasay Inn is a beautiful place to stay on South Uist. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I had the best nights sleep there. We had dinner at Orasay Inn and we were not disappointed. Great menu, with a fantastic selection of food. Everything tasted so amazing. I went to bed dreaming of breakfast. When combined with the warmest, friendliest hosts, Orasay Inn will stay with you for a very long time.

Accommodated in a large spacious bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Beautiful view from the bright dining room. Alan & Isabel were friendly and attentive proprietors. Isabel is a remarkably good cook and the choices of dishes for breakfast and dinner were amazing and plentiful. "Freshly squeezed" orange juice, delicious fresh fruit and yoghurt and a great variety of choice for your cooked breakfast, certainly set us up for the day. As there are not many restaurants to choose from, we would certainly recommend booking "Orasay Inn" well in advance for D, B & B. We hope to return one day!

Spent one night at Orasay Inn, compact but clean room with ensuite shower room. Nice view of the garden. Comfortable lounge with good selection of books and a great dinner prepared by Isobel, even for me with food allergies. Great place to stay.

A wonderful establishment nestling in the rugged grandeur in the northern part of South Uist. A warm welcome was offered by the owner Isobel who multi tasked later in the day as chef extraordinaire. The room was spacious with a double door leading out to a balcony with a view down the loch. Dinner was taken on two nights with a menu offering an extensive choice. Alan undertook the duty not only as co-owner but also bar tender par excellence and maitre d’ and waiter. His knowledge of the islands was invaluable to allow an enjoyable day exploring the island. The bed allowed a deep and peaceful sleep. On the morning that we left although the beautiful weather had turned into a squally bourach it didn’t dampen the hospitality offered on our departure. We left this wonderful establishment wishing that we could have stayed longer and enjoyed even more of Isobel’s dinner menu and tasty breakfasts and Alan’s bonhomie. Well worth a return visit.

One of the most hospitable hotels we have ever stayed at.Alan and Isobel were welcoming,couldn’t do enough for their guests.The food was also excellent,great choices and,be warned,very generous portions.The room was small but very comfortable with every amenity and lovely and cool.This couple work very hard to keep their guests happy.

We really enjoyed our stay. We were made to feel very welcome & nothing was too much trouble. Run by a lovely friendly couple. Breakfast & evening meals were cooked to order & good value. Would stay again.

Again, Isobel and Alan made me feel so at home with the best breakfast and evening meal I have had whilst travelling in the Uists. What more could you ask for.Many thanks for such a comfy stay . Hopefully I will be back soon.P.sIsobel, the plant in your Spanish pot is, I think a Swedish ivy, or also known as a Swedish begonia ????

I had a single room which was small and basic but clean and comfortable. Owner / managers were pleasant and accommodating. Food was good.

From the moment I arrived at the Orasay Inn nothing was too much trouble and the staff couldnt do enough for you.Food was amazing and a really wide and varied selection. Breakfast was outstanding and set you up for the day.First time staying after being recommended by a colleague but will be back after such a pleasant experience.

This was the perfect place for us to base ourselves for our first trip to The Outer Hebrides. Accommodation was ideal and spacious. Breakfast was great but evening meals were outstanding.

Stayed for a full week and was brilliant well placed for exploring north and south and the food was superb

Excellent stay at Orasay Inn. Ideal location for exploring both South and North Uist.Food was delicious.Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Clean, comfortable and in a beautiful setting, with great views from the dining room. Good range of meat & fish dishes on the dinner menu but (my only gripe) no vegetarian options.

Response

Apologies, we do have a separate vegetarian menu and Isobel does offer many vegetarian options that our guests may care to suggest.It\'s just that we are used to guests requesting the availability. of these.

A warm welcome and excellent food to be found here. Recommend to anyone visiting the area

This is a small inn in a stunning location in the northern part of South Lewis.It provides excellent meals from an extensive menue and the accommodation is all that one requires.The service is first class with friendly and welcoming staff.I intend to stay again.

Great place to stay. Stunning sceneryLooked after very well. The food was exceptionally good. Lovely paella and large cooked breakfast not to mention gorgeous spicy chicken noodle soup and cheese and broccoli soup! Recommend room with decking- very nice!

Very accommodating when I changed my booking last minute.Rooms had all the facilities required and comfortable.Booked into dinner which had beautiful seafood- which you can imagine was the freshest. The meal was cooked to perfection and if I say the hosts were attentive, that's an understatement as they were incredible.I love when you stay somewhere and the hosts make you feel welcome in their home.Then came breakfast-so much food! And cooked so well! With enough left for our two collies and a little for their collie!I would definitely return.

Wonderful and friendly people, very good informations, delicious [!!!] food, can only recommend! The owners know perfectly how to deal with people, great hosts, THANKS a lot for everything, it was a pleasure staying at Orasay!

We had a very enjoyable stay for two nights at the Orasay Inn earlier this month. The proprietors were friendly and helpful. The home cooking was excellent and we had two great evening meals. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

We planned this break on the hoof and we were not disappointed Alan and Isobel were lovely hosts nothing too much trouble food was excellent If we find ourselves in this neck of the woods we will be back !Thanks againVal and George

Situated in the awe inspiring outer Hebrides, this inn is apeaceful sanctuary. The star studded. The stars are so bright if you wake in the night you can lie in bed and gaze ‘till you fall back to sleep.The hosts are warm and friendly and the inn very homey. The food was very good. Breakfast is included. A full menu is available at supper and there is a full bar. Considering food is far between and the quality of the cuisine, have dinner here. Very enjoyable. Perfect for a solo traveler.I traveled during the winter and loved my stay.

Very relaxing stay after a long day. The food was terrific and I will definitely stay again.

Lovely all round.Comfortable, warm and spacious room. We slept very well. Beautiful sunrises from our bedroom/ personal decking area. Very good breakfast and fine dining with a wide choice and generous portion sizes.On top Alan and Isobel are very caring hosts and very willing to share their extensive local knowledge. Our dog was made very welcome too. We stayed three nights with dinner on all three.Much recommended.Richard & Judy

Great hosts and excellent food

Friendly hosts and the room was warm and equipped with everything needed.And the food was out of this world!I'll be back.

Highly recommend the Orasay Inn - very comfortable, superb breakfasts to set you up for the day (!) and wonderful dinners - great views from the dining room and wonderfully situated to explore the Uists. We will return!!

Lovely place in a beautiful location.The room was a good size for a single and the bed very comfy with nice views.It was very clean.Excellent dinner with first rate seafood and the breakfast was brilliant with fresh strawberries and Scottish food such as white, black puddings and local sausage.

An excellent hotel. The view from our scenic room was wonderful.The true highlight is the quality of the food. Magnificent!

Amazing breakfasts and dinners. High quality food (especially the seafood),with a personal touchand for big appetites.Friendly ,attentive serviceNot really an Inn -more a restaurant with adequate rooms-but the food alone makes it a destination to head for

I booked Orasay Inn because of the central location to do day trips on North and South Uist. I was looking for accommodation where evening meal was available. Lucky I got a room with a nice view and patio.The Orasay Inn is spotless, homey, and comfortable. Alan will see to a guests every need on the lodging side.As for food, it’s a wonder how how one woman offers such a varied and imaginative menu. Isobel, you’re awesome.

Excellent hosts and outstanding food

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Isobel and Alan. We had a comfy double room with an oak floor and furniture - beautifully decorated and with a balcony looking onto the loch.The evening meals were extremely generous and well-cooked - choices of fresh local seafood and meat-eaters also well catered for.All the usual breakfast items were available- fresh fruit, cereal, breads, as well as hearty portions of a range of cooked breakfasts, well prepared and tasty.Our hosts were kind and helpful with a fund of local knowledge which I found particularly interesting. They did everything to make our stay comfortable and when we left Alan took the trouble to post an item which we had forgotten to our next port of call which he had remembered. Very kind and considerate of him indeed...We both heartily recommend the Orasay Inn and will definitely revisit on our next trip.

This is an excellent base for exploring the Uists as well as being a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay.The food is excellent with a good range to choose from and stunning seafood.Isobel and Alan are fantastic hosts.

A fabulous stop off point for an evenings rest.Social beer before dinner.Food is excellent with huge portions, but it is the quality which is second to none.

We enjoyed our stay here & it really had everything to offer, great food & great service.

Stayed 2 nights at Orasay Inn in mid July. The Inn is perfectly situated for touring the Uists and Barra ands wonderful views.The home cooking was great but a word of warning, the portions are large and we mean very large!! Would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for a stay.

A very enjoyable stay with deliciious food and a wonderful setting.

This was our second stay at Orasay we are already looking to book again.The very wasrm welcome from Alan and Isobel the very comfortable rooms andfriendly staff make for a gteat stay.The crowning glory is Isobel's food.Beautiful fresh seafood and outstandingdeserts.We are looking forward to our return

We stayed two nights in the Orasay Inn as we toured Uist. Owners made us feel very welcome. Great chat with the gardener about the best places to see in Uist. All staff very cheery and helpful.Great comfy bed and excellent en suite shower. Food is excellent and very reasonable. We will definitely stay again when we visit the Outer Hebrides again.

Our room was small but was billed as a small double so we knew what to expect.It had everything we needed and we were able to enjoy the comfy sofas in the lounge.The view from the dining room was excellent, but the best thing about the Orasay Inn is the food.My husband had the seafood platter (which was billed as a starter) as his main course and it was plenty although he left room to share my apple crumble and custard (which was £4 and loads for 2 people).There are very reasonable items on the main menu if you are on a budget, but if you can push the boat out a bit and have the fresh seafood it's well worth the extra and all prepared and cooked by the lady owner.Would we stay again and recommend this place - definitely!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.There was a great relaxed atmosphere and everyone- both staff and other guests - was so friendly. The food was good- don’t stay here if you are on a diet! The seafood platter and the venison are highly recommended.

The food was excellent and the service friendly and helpful. Our room was a bit small and felt in need of some tlc, as did the small bathroom. The shower leaked as as a result the shower head had to be left ohe floor of the shower rather than secured in its normal osition on the wall. Overall though, the plusses definitely outweighed the minuses

Yes brilliant, we arrived after a day ofrain across miles of peat bog and had our wet clothes and boots dried. It is one of only two places you can have an evening meal on this part of Hebridean Way (it's very close). If you judge a place by it's breakfast this was about the best I've ever had, choice of both smoked haddock and kippers and - of the latter - would you like one or two?!

Had a fantastic stay , friendly staff, excellentfood , comfortable room with outside patio, amazing views .

Enjoyed our stay at the Orasay Inn in June 2019.The food was very good both at breakfast and at dinner.The lack of a usable Wi-fi was disappointing as people are so used to being able to check on places to visit etc.(My Vodafone phone provider also came up with no service.)

A really enjoyable 2 night stay. We had a big comfy bed in a spacious room and a bath ( always a nice surprise!) It was very quiet and we slept well.The food was fab.We ate in the Inn on both nights and would happily have stayed longer and worked our way through the menu. The seafood platter to start was wonderful but the seafood mornay was the best dish of our long weekend when we ate out nine times. The chef was pleasant and friendly and very good!This is one to return to. Thank you so much for your welcome.

We really enjoyed our stay during April and were very impressed with the warmth of the welcome and the service provided. The qualityof the accommodation was excellent but the real bonus was the food which was superb. Many Thanks Alan and Isobel.P.S .Still dreaming about your crab cocktail!

Thank you for your kindness and your excellent food

Third time at Orasay won’t be the last

Comfortable hotel. Rooms not huge but ok, shower lovely and hot which was what I needed after a day cycling. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant good, (nice views), particularly if you eat fish (which I don’t, but it looked good). Very nice breakfast.Possibly expensive for the size and decor of room which is why I have given only three stars. Food deserves four stars.

Response

We thank you for taking the time to provide a review and we are happy that, on the whole, you seem to have enjoyed your stay. However we do have to respond to your comments on the room. This was, as described, as small (not tiny). You were charged £89 for single occupancy (double is £10 more). Of that amount we are required to pay almost £15 to HMRC for VAT. At the time of your reservation 2 single rooms were available at a cost of £75 (£62.50 ex VAT). A generous breakfast is included in our rates. The room you occupied was completely redecorated last year and new furniture installed. We trust that you will appreciate our response and not think us over sensitive.

Friendly welcome. Exceptionally clean and comfortable room.Food was really good - very high standard. The dining room has great views. Very relaxing atmosphere - perfect stop off on cycle route.

Isobel and Alan made my stay feel like my home away from home. From the accommodations to the absolutely delicious meals, The Orasay Inn exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend you stop in for a stay, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely welcoming hosts lovely Seafood and a comfy lounge and bed . We had to change our plans as weather too windy for cycling one day and Alan sorted out a taxi who could take bikes and us to Berneray really super would recommend

Great place to stay on South Uist, Alan and Isabelle wonderful hosts and the food is delicious. Would highly recommend. Tapagh leat

Lovely accommodation, friendly and helpful staff, and an excellent restaurant.

Lovely accommodation, friendly and helpful staff, and an excellent restaurant.

This is essentially a restaurant with rooms.The rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet but it is the food that makes this extra special.From sumptuous breakfasts of fresh fruit, smoked fish & the ‘full Scottish’ through to the most amazing dinners servicing fresh local food in delicious and imaginative ways.All in a room with wonderful views over th North Uist landscape.

Very comfortable friendly and well sited small hotel. Breakfast sets you up for the day. Good choice of delicious evening meals. We had a lovely view from our room.

Good quality facilities, good welcoming staff and proprietors with decades of experience.high quality food cooked to order. Isolated location giving silence and clear skies at night. Bliss

What a wonderful few days at the most accommodating place imaginable. They really did everything to ensure we had a wonderful stay. 100% would go back.

Having been before our expectations were very high. Unfortunately, too high, as it wasn't nearly as good as the last time. The welcome was as expected and the accommodation was also as before and very adequate. The dinner however was not up to previous visits which was disappointing because it was so, so good before. Maybe it was a bad night but the seafood broth was not as before (it was brilliant last time) and the shellfish wasn't properly cleaned and there were bits of shells throughout my main course. It was fine but just not up to the 5 star standard of previous visits.

Remote with great views of the loch, hosts were great and couldnt help enough great staff, lovely food.Room was very comfortful,would defnitly stay again.

We enjoyed a 2 night stay here in mid July. Hosts, Alan and Isabel, were very welcoming. Good Highland hospitality extended to cooking the cockles and mussels we'd picked from local beach and letting us take their dog for a walk on the beautiful land behind the house! A real home from home experience. Also wonderful food with generous helpings. Spacious rooms. Highly recommended.

We were prebooked for one nights stay at the Orsay Inn, on our tour from north to south, at the outer Hebrides, when a storm cancelled all ferrylines around the islands. So the extroadinary kind owners, managed to fixe another nights stay.They were absolute helpfull when we had to rebook new ferry- and flighttickets, when we occupied their telephonelines for hours. And at the top of this; The kitchen held absolute star-class, and is well worth a travel to south Uist, only for that reason. Thanks for your seviceminds and kindness, so we will add a special memory of the Orsay Inn, to our Scotland-tour.Stig and Birgitta from Sweden

we felt very well, the other guests were very helpful, the room was very calme and proper, the kitchen is extraordinaire! thanks Isobel and Alan!(I cannot cklick the stars)

Fabulous stay.Owners couldn't have been more welcoming, food was definitely a highlight, from the wonderful, enormous breakfast to the excellent dinners.I had a memorable stay in a comfortable room.Thank you.

We had a lovely two night stay at Orasay.The owners are very welcoming and friendly, there is a nice atmosphere in the place. The food is excellent, seafood a speciality, but all good including breakfasts. My husband's seafood platter was amazing. Certainly worth a return visit and weather was great so Uist was at it's best.Katherine & Iain Mackay

We were pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem off the beaten track. Well positioned for a visit to this lovely area. An amazing breakfast including the biggest kippers I've ever seen. Dinner is a la carte with added specials, all lovingly prepared by the owner Isobel. Both Alan and Isobel are welcoming and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay . The rooms are of a very high standard.

Comfortable room,excellent food and very attentive staff.All in beautiful location.

Very warmly welcomed for our overnight stay, beautiful location, comfortable accomodation, topped off with fantastic food. Would have loved to have stayed another night but our itinerary did not allow it !Pete & Angie Hampshire

All the staff were very friendly and we were made very welcome. Comfortable and clean room. Great breakfast.

Enjoyed our overnight stop here. Great value for money.I have restricted diet so not easy for me but ok for husband. More variety of teas would have been appreciated and decaf coffee but food generally good.

We were visiting Uist on business and choose the Orasay in both due to its location and great reviews. We were delighted with our choice. A warm welcome comfy rooms and really excellent food at sensible prices. The seafood is exceptional. I would happily recommend the Orasay inn to anyone visiting Uist.

Our engineers stayed at this hotel and could not recommend it highly enough.

We stayed here whilst cycling the Hebridean Way on honeymoon. From previous reviews we were looking forward to the food and weren't disappointed! The quality and range of food was superb, all the more remarkable that the owner was both cooking and serving everybody!Would highly recommend.

Perfect location for exploring North and South Uist. Very enjoyable and satisfying menu and cuisine. Our small twin was too small to be comfortable, but then it was described as snmall, so no complaint really.

Comfortable rooms, cosy atmosphere, great breakfasts and delicious dinners from an extensive menu of local produce.We were disappointed that having received an email confirming our 4 night booking to get a phone call to advise that the Inn had double booked and we could only stay for 2 nights. By that stage we had gone ahead and booked ferries to tie in with our confirmed booking.

We stayed for 4 nights in August.Hotel,was very nice and food excellent.Proprietors, Alan and Isobel were very helpful and accommodating.We had a twin room with french windows out on to a private verandah with views down to the sea (Loch Carnan)Whilst hotel is in a quiet area, it is well situated for access to Benbecula and North Uist and the road south towards Eriskay and Barra.

The food here was the best food we had in our 2 week stay in Scotland. The fish was fantastic. Hugh crab claws, mussels and clams. If fresh locally caught seafood is your thing then eat here. The restaurant has a fantastic sea view. The owners were extremely welcoming and hospitable.

Very comfortable accommodation with outstanding food, if anything, the portions were too big, even after cycling all day!

Deservedly on the Hebrides Food Trail, the cuisine was really top notch, both dinner and breakfast. Very quiet location with excellent views. We booked late, and the 'small double' was all we could get: it was small! All in all, would be very pleased to stay there again.

excellent food and location

This was a very pleasant find at short notice.It was off route but with a car easy to find. Also the meal in the evening was delicious.

Lovely meals. Rooms very clean

Lovely secluded location but also ideal for touring around the Uists. Excellent breakfast and evening meals in a dining room with amazing views. Room 3 very well furnished with lovely patio overlooking the water. Recommend highly.

My daughter and I stayed 2 nights at Orasay Inn, what a find! Beautiful peaceful location, ideal for exploring Uists and Barra. Our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with a wooden decked area for sitting out and enjoying the spectacular views. The food was outstanding, using locally sourced produce. Run by such a lovely couple who were so friendly and welcoming as were the rest of the team!

Fantastic place to stay, Very comfortable , great location in South Uist. Great food and lovely Hosts. Highly Recommended.

HelloI spent great days at Orasay Inn. Room is small but clean and nice, food is fresh and good. Many thanks again for your great help in organising my trip to Harris Island and for bringing me to the bus station. Everything went without any problem...best Regals, Maya

On first arrival we were a bit unsure as the Inn is fairly remote. Our room was small but very clean and comfortable.A wee bit dated in places but the friendly staff, delicious food and the stunning view from the dining room more than made up for that and we would definitely stay again.Thank you

Fabulous location, very comfortable rooms. Excellent food all freshly cooked and with an extensive menu. Gluten free options very well catered for.Owners were very pleasant and accomodating.A very enjoyable 4 night stay. Thank you

This is a brilliant place to stay. The owners Isobel and Alan make you feel at home. The restaurant is popular with local residents for a meal out. Food is superb: I only ate seafood but they offer local beef, lamb and venison too. Peaceful night's sleep guaranteed: no passing traffic, no air traffic, no late night discos. It was a wrench to leave.

Rooms basic but comfortable but the food was fantastic and the best we had during our 10 days stay on the Outer Hebrides

We enjoyed our stay and recommend the sea food dinners.

Stayed at the Orasay Inn when touring the Western Isles.Accommodation wasclean and comfortable. The outstanding feature of our stay was the food. Excellent breakfasts - huge variety of fresh fruits and generous and varied cooked breakfasts. Evening meals were delicious - again an extensive menu of home cooked meals using local produce.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Orasay Inn to travellers in this area.

It's worth travelling a long way to the Orosay Inn just for the seafood. Some of the very best I've ever tasted - they really know how to both source and cook both fish and shellfish. Can't understand why it's not in the Good Food Guide!

Excellent accommodation,views at breakfast out to the Cuillins!ideal for all the Isles linked by causeway and ferry connections

I had a great two days at the Orasay Inn. Very welcoming and the food was terrific, but ask for a small portion or you'll never eat it all!

enjoyed our stay,excellent food.

My stay at Orasay was ideal...decent welcome, big and clean room, friendly staff and good food. Lovely views from room and dining room and a good breakfast too. I would happily recommend....and my dog was most welcome too!

An extremely friendly and comfortable hotel in an ideal location for exploring North & South Uist. An excellent breakfast with a wide variety of selections on the menu - all tastes catered for.The evening meal menu was equally varied with the quality of the food and service outstanding. If ever we return to the area the Orasay would be our first choice.

Quiet hotel with comfy rooms. Breakfasts were amazing as was the evening meals. Massive portions all home cooked. Seafood a speciality.

Very comfortable and excellent food.

Great place to stay, very comfortable & excellent food

Perfect stay, everything arranged to provide brilliant holidays in spectacular landscape. Friendly and welcoming hosts and as a special highlight: First class cuisine!

Alan and Isabel welcomed us warmly. We enjoyed all our meals which were imaginatively presented.

We had a lovely night in the Orasay Inn. Lovely welcome, comfortable room, and our dinner will live long in the memory - a wonderful meal looking out over the Loch. Thank you.

I have stayed here several times for work and each time the friendly service and excellent food have not disappointed.The flexibility shown by the owners for our early starts and late finishes was a real bonus that made us feel very welcome.We were well looked after and I can thoroughly recommend the Orasay Inn for its hospitality, comfort and friendliness.

This hotel is like home from home and I was made to feel really welcome by the owners, Isobel and Alan. Whilst the rooms were on the small side especially if you were a couple in the double room but as I had sole occupancy it was fine and the decor is a little dated. However on the plus side there was no need to sit in our room in the evening as there is a cosy lounge to chill in both before and after your evening meal.There is a pretty extensive menu especially considering as all the cooking is done by Isobel and some of the food was outstanding, not fine dining but mostly what sort of fair you would have at home well apart from the sea food platter perhaps. Others have commented that they thought it was expensive but I would say that £11 for haddock and chips wasn't out the way. Thee were more pricy things on the menu depending on you budget. The breakfast was one of the best I have had in hotels around the world with a fabulous selection of fresh fruit as well as pretty much everything you could ask for for a hearty Scottish breakfast.The owners having been there for a good few years obviously know the area and certainly gave me some advice on the local hills as if time allowed and I finished work early wanted to climb being mhor which I did one evening and it's a cracking wee hill.I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever working in the area again and would stay if travelling in south Uist on my own violation.

A very comfortable stay with amazing food.Very friendly and helpful, beautiful views.

We stayed at Orasay on our cycling trip along the Hebridean Way. The seafood was fantastic and so was the breakfast. The hotel was lovely and the hospitity excellent. We returned to our bikes well rested and happy the next day, thank you. Would recommend to anyone visiting the Hebrides

A good hotel with great attention to detail. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Food very good with lots of choice, even for vegetarians. Portions very large. There is a fantastic view of the loch and mountains from the dining room. A very clean well run establishment

Had a lovely stay, with very good food, but you need a huge appetite.

Loved the Orasay Inn! They were so helpful when we got in late on our bikes & we had a delicious meal there. Lovely views from the dining room too. Great shower, comfy bed, would stay again if ever in this neck of the woods

We really enjoyed staying at the Orasay Inn the food was great and Alan and Isobell were great hosts a real home from home.

Great food and very nice room.

An exceptionally welcoming and comfortable hotel. The rooms were bright and cosy, whilst the food was outstanding in terms of choice,quality and value.Thanks to Alan and Isobel, we hope to see you again before too long!

Very helpful stuff, good breakfast!

Made very welcome by all staff on arrival, rooms were spotless and really comfy beds. Breakfast was great in a lovely room with amazing outlook.Thanks Orasy Inn, 10 out of 10.😁

A warm Hebridean welcome for my friend and I on our short tour of Barra and the Uists. Lovely meal and comfortable accommodation .

A comfortable and well located hotel for exploring both North and South Uist.First class breakfast and an excellent dinner menu.Would however not classify it as being "luxury accommodation" - homely and comfortable at best.howver not classify it as being "Luxury Accommodation"

Enjoyable 3 nights stay in room 3 with the balcony overlooking the sea, but due to poor weather for 2 days, unable to use the balcony!Lovely views when the weather cleared and the sun came out!Large comfortable bed, good sized bedroom andbathroom.Lounge had comfortable settees and dining room looked out over the sea.Food generally excellent but one or 2 items of veg were overcooked.We would suggest a few improvements: Squeaky bedroom floor in our room and adjacent room 4 caused we think by the wood flooring.Bathroom designed as wet room but drain unable to cope with shower on High as water spread across floor to WC and had to be mopped up with towel.A number of piles of dog poo in car park were disappointing and not what we would expect.

Alan and Isobel were the perfect hosts. So friendly and so welcoming. Isobel's food is A1 and a 'must' for any guests. Staying on South Uist, then stay at the Orasay Inn.

Absolutely first class

This is one of the best places we have stayed at. The hosts are very wellcoming and nothing is a problem. The food is of the highest quality particularly the seafood. I would highly recommend the Hebridean shellfish soup. At £8 it is great value - full of scallops, mussels, clams etc.A MEAL IN ITSELF.If back in the area will definitely choose to stay here.

As this was a busy period I was only able to get a single room -but for 2 nights that was fine and hotel was comfortable . Owners very friendly and food was excellent . Have enjoyed Stornoway black pudding mant times but take the opportunity to try the White pudding . Will come back with family in near future .

We enjoyed meeting our hosts, Alan and Isabel and were very comfortable in a double bedded room with ensuite facilities.The evening meal was delicious and as for the choice at breakfast time - wonderful, with fresh strawberries and other fruits, yoghurts and all the usual scottish breakfast ingredients.Delicious.

We stayed three nights in a room with balcony at the rear of the Inn. The view was lovely. We also ate our evening meal there all three nights. The quality of the food is excellent both for dinner and breakfast. The location is perfect for touring both South and North Uist.

Wonderful food coupled with the best of weather let us see the island at its best.

Nice People at a beautiful Place with great food. Thank you

A very peaceful, clean and tidy hotel.Hosts were great and nothing was too much trouble.Good menu with good food and plenty of it !!!Would definitely stay here again.

A big thank to Isobel and Alan for staying up late (10;45 pm) to welcome and cook for us, due the ferry problems.

An excellent base for visiting the Uists if you want good food and a good welcome.

Provided everything we wanted. Room good and food excellent

Very helpful and friendly staff, rich breakfast, rooms good.

We enjoyed our stay at Orasay so much. The Inn was comfortable, the food was excellent and the owners and staff were friendly and attentive.

Great location (also very convenient for exploring South Uist as well as North Uist and Benbecula), friendly and welcoming staff, very comfortable room, good food with excellent fish dishes.Had a very nice stay.Thank you Orosay Inn!

Good guesthouse combined with a restaurant, so you don't need to find a (scarce) restaurant in the area. Very friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Good, spacious rooms and a great view over the local landscape. We really enjoyed our stay.

We stopped here for the one night on a week long tour of the Hebrides. This was one of ourbest stops. Friendly, helpful people who made you feel welcome. Excellent freshly cooked diner and breakfast the following morning.

This place is well worth a stay. Fabulous choice of breakfast and a good choice for an evening meal too. A central location at the north end of North Uist so easy to get around the area. Make sure you book soon to meet Josie the highland calf who was born on New Years Day. Nice friendly hosts too.

We had 4 nights at the Orasay Inn in early May and had a splendid visit.The welcome was very warm, the accommodation most comfortable and the food splendid.We shall be delighted to visit again.

If there is a better place to eat and sleep on South Uist, then it is a very well kept secret. The Inn is comfortable, the welcome warm and the view is superb. Were that not enough, Isobel Graham's "Scottish Natural Cooking" is of the very highest quality.

Friendly welcoming staff and great through out.My room was large,clean and comfortable.Food was excellent.A pleasure to stay at.

Friendly small Inn with good food. Comfortable lounge and a nice view from the restaurant.Instructions for arrival clear and necessary as a bit off the main road.

Modest accommodation but food, especially fish, quite outstanding.

What a lovely 3 days we had at the Orasay Inn. Good accommodation, friendly staff and fantastic food. Well placed for visiting both North & South Uist.

Excellent food and friendly relaxed people. Great views from the delux room.

The high spot was the wonderful restaurant serving delicious dinners and breakfasts in scenic surroundings. Otherwise a fairly standard B&B, but clean and comfortable with a warm welcome.

A pleasant stay with solicitous hosts.Room was adequate, very clean with bags of hot water but a little tight on space.Food was disappointing.

A lovely place to stay in the wilds of South Uist with excellent food. good for visiting lots of places.

No problems encountered. We enjoyed our stay and the owner was extremely friendly..

We absolutely loved our stay at The Orasay and found it an excellent base to explore the Islands round and about.Our room was terrific, with a beautiful, peaceful view from the French windows and balcony - perfect for a glass of wine when the sun shone.The highlight of The Orasay has to be the splendid food served in their restaurant. We were so impressed with the standard of the cuisine that we booked every night of our stay and had some excellent fish dishes amongst other things. The breakfasts were of the same high standard, with lots of variety and always a wonderful selection of fresh fruit. The haddock poached in milk was particularly tasty.We would not hesitate to book at The Orasay again if we are ever in that part of Scotland again.

Unfortunately we spent at Orasay Inn only one night! Seafood fantastic and very good beer! We wish you all the best.

We stayed as a party of three. The rooms were good, the view wonderful, the food delicious (be prepared for huge portions)but what really made it for us was how friendly and welcoming Isobel and Alan were. The central location makes it perfect for exploring the islands from Eriskay to Berneray. We will be back.

Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back.

As part of a planned trip my 2 night stay here involved the best coffee on the islands yet..website worked well, breakfast was superb, views from the restaurant stunning. Shower power sublime..in short, highly recommend this place! Helpful staff too, good wifi completes the picture. Centrally placed for the Uists too.

Room clean, good quality breakfast and evening meal.Small hotel in rural area.

A fantastic location.Sunrise over the Isle of Skye and Red Deer outside window. Room really comfortable and food amazing. The portions were huge!!!!Looking forward to booking next year.

Friendly, clean and stunning scenery. Highly recommended. Looking forward to staying again.

The food was exceptional the home grown beef just melted in your mouth.All you foodies has got to go to this restaurant to try what good food tastes like

A little off the beaten track but worth it for the peace and the sunset view from our room alone! Friendly owners and very tasty food helped make our stay very pleasurable. Will stay again when next we return to the Outer Hebrides.

Spent a most comfortable night at the Orasay Inn.Food was absolutely amazing, plenty of seating in guest lounge, and comfortable bed with TV.Only down side would be that the bedroom was so small that the tiny shower room required a concertina door (room 1).

Lovely room with a stunning view together with delicious food both at breakfast and dinner made my short stay very enjoyable. The owners and staff were friendly & helpful too. I will certainly return.

Comfortable stay with excellent meals

Our stay at the Orasay Inn was relaxing, amid a friendly atmosphere. Dinner was excellent: the sea trout was great.

Lovely breakfast and very nice room. Wifi worked fine, staff was very friendly. We would love to come back one day!

good food and a comfortable stay,lovely location.Did I really get paid for for coming to one of the most beautiful places in the world!!!!!!

Good value hotel with a very good dining room. As the guide books say it the latter that makes this place: very fresh 'catch of the day' food cooked simply but very well. Also, a good range of wines are available.

The Orasay Inn is in a good location a friendly atmosphere the hosts made you very welcoome and the cooking was very good it would have being a 4star but the bedroom & bathroom/shower could do with an uplift.We would definately go back,

Stayed here on a tour of the hebrides, great location- wonderful views and very tranquil. saw a stag while we were having dinner.Food is good, whisky selection excellent.Rooms are fairly standard and it all works. Very cheerful and helpful staff, thanks

Spent two nights here and were made to feel very welcome right from the start.Lovely room with big bed and the view from the restaurant/decking was stunning. We had excellent weather which we took full advantage of to tour South Uist - the Orasay is in a perfect location to do both North and South Uist.Food was superb especially the breakfasts - the most enormous full Scottish I have ever seen!

Nice quiet friendly hotel.Single rooms quite smallbut fine.Great breakfast including fresh fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice and filter coffee. Evening meals of high standard and a great choicefrom specials through to pricier seafood options. Small enough to feel fine to go to eat as a person travelling alone.

My wife needed oxygen therapy at the hotel which was delivered by NHS. The owner and his wife were very helpful with this and with assisting my wife to enjoy her stay . Thank you Alan and Isobel. Food excellent

This hotel was the perfect place to stay on our south to north trip of the Outer Hebrides. Very welcoming and comfortable. First class food, ales and malts!

We had a very relaxing stay. Allan & Isobel were fantasticand we loved the Uists.

Suggest there is some soft background music played in the dining room and lounge---otherwise excellent !!

Very friendly little Hotel.

This was a return visit after 15 years.My friend Marion and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The room was comfortable and the food excellent.Our thanks to Yanis for his attentive care, and to the owners for keeping up the good work.Will definitely return if ever in that area again.

An oasis inbogland

A most enjoyable stay at Orasay Inn. The breakfast was excellent as was the evening meal. The staff were friendly and very helpful and contributed to a very enjoyable stay. The room was 4 star whereas the food was 5 star. I would recommend Orasay Inn to others. Thank you all at Orasay Inn for a most enjoyable stay.

We arrived rather weatherbeaten and found a warm welcome. Excellent food and comfortable accommodation. Splendid!

Nice Hotel on the Remote Island of South Uist.Good kitchen in the middle of nowhere

We were in a spacious room with en suite, very clean and comfortable, meals were outstanding and views were stunning from dining room, all staff encountered were friendly and very helpful, will definatley stay again if i'm up that way!

Stayed here for four night exploring uists and other Islands. Food was exceptional -breakfast couldn't have been betterd.Fresh raspberries,strawberries,cherries,blueberriesgrapes and pineapple all for starters for breakfast.Four other choices of hot dishes. Evening meals were delicious seafood scallops were superb.Also fillet steak divine to name a few dishes. Room comfortable and service friendly.

We had a eight day holiday on South Uist in May 2012 and were delighted with our accommodation at the Orasay Inn.The Superior roomwas a great choice with its French windows to a patio.We greatly enjoyed Isabel's cooking, really good home cooking and always plenty!Home made bread,freshly cooked seafood dishes and old-fashioned proper soups were the speciality of the Inn.The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we were even blessed with lovely weather.

Our party was treated with great friendliness and looked after very well. The rooms were very comfortable and the views from the East end rooms with the doors opening on to decking were superb.A word of warning. The ferry from Oban to Loch Boisdale is not scheduled every day of the week and may be cancelled by bad weather.Other ferries are available.Travel Insurance should be considered.

Thank you for your hospitality!After a rather rough trip, it was wonderful to feel so welcomed and well tended-to! The cheesecake was delicious!!! Highly recommended!!!

Stayed at the Orasay Inn for 4 nights on our first visit to the Uists. Location perfect for exploring all the islands incl.Barra & Vatersay. Good food , very friendly welcome & excellent service. Room comfortable and stylish. We plan to return.

This is an excellent small hotel.It is small and friendly with a great dinner menu and a breakfast that will set you up for the day.The small guest lounge is a great place to wait for dinner in a friendly informal atmosphere.A home away from home kind of place that I would thoroughly recommend for those travelling alone or for work.
