Lochboisdale Hotel

Welcome to Lochboisdale Hotel on the beautiful island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Calum and Karen MacAulay and their family run the hotel, situated at the ferry terminal in Lochboisdale overlooking the bay with splendid views across to Canna and Rhum.

Built in the late 1800’s the hotel is full of character and has a homely atmosphere. We have 15 rooms, 5 single, 5 twin and 4 double including one family room that will comfortably sleep a family of 5 and 1 premier kingsize room ideal for honeymooners. All of the rooms have en-suite facilities and all but three rooms have views across the bay. Lochboisdale Hotel has a warm and friendly welcome with staff who are there to make your stay a memorable one. Feel at home by the peat fire, soak up the gaelic atmosphere and enjoy amazing views on three sides of the hotel. The hotel is a great base to explore the raw beauty of the island, a great place to relax and recharge your batteries. Free Wi-Fi is available in the hotel.

We have a sunlounge overlooking the harbour and a newly renovated dining room which overlooks the bay and hills. We have a bar supper menu and an A La Carte menu offering the best of local produce, seafood and game. Lobster is available on request and you can even pick your own off the boats in the bay.

There are some 800 lochs and lochans between South Uist and Benbecula and virtually all of them contain wild brown trout. You can fish the famous lochs of South Uist through either Storas Uibhist or South Uist Angling Club. Kayaking/canoeing, diving, windsurfing and golf are also available.

The Hebridean Way passes through some of the most spectacular landscape in the UK. It is dual aspect, with a 156 mile long distance walking route and separate 185 mile long distance national cycle network route (NCN 780). Steeped in history, the Hebridean Way stretches along the length of the Outer Hebrides from Vatersay in the south to the Lewis in the north. The route passes through 10 Islands linked by a combination of causeways and ferries, over rugged hills and along dazzling Atlantic coastline.

The stunning landscapes, the geology, wildlife, heritage and scenery of the Outer Hebrides are truly awe-inspiring. The Outer Hebrides retain a culture that is different to mainland Scotland, Gaelic is often spoken as a first language and there remains a sense of culture and tradition on each of the inhabited Islands that make up the Outer Hebrides.

We do have certain bedrooms where we allow well behaved dogs to stay with you. This is an additional cost of £5 per night. Compensation will also be sought if any damage has been caused to any hotel property by your dog. Please note that animals are not allowed in any of the dining rooms in the hotel but are permitted in the lounge area after 9.30pm and must be kept on a lead at all times.
