CASTLEBAY HOTEL

Recharge

on the Isle of Barra

The Castlebay Hotel is in the main town of Castlebay, commanding spectacular panoramic views over the natural harbour, ancient Kisimul Castle and the island of Vatersay beyond.


It’s central location means that it's only a couple of minutes walk from the Oban ferry terminal and town centre where you’ll find a bank, post office and Indian restaurant. The hotel has 14 rooms, a busy restaurant and the Castlebay Bar which is renowned for it's live music throughout the year. We have one dog friendly bedroom along with some areas in the hotel.


Barra has often been described as the “Hebrides in Miniature” with its beautiful beaches, backed by ‘machair’ (meadows filled with wildflowers), its rocky eastern coast, and hilly interior. It is an island where you can walk, explore, play golf, take a boat trip, go kayaking, watch the wildlife – or just take it easy.

We had a really special stay in the hotel. The MacNeil room has a fabulous view over the bay and we could even see across to Vatersay! Then a hop, skip and a jump to the morning ferry back to Oban.

We had a delicious meal in the hotel. The biggest hand dived scallops we have ever seen. Really good wine list and the steak pie hit the spot after a days walking around the island.

We had a great four days staying in the hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were lucky enough to stay whilst a local band was playing the pub. What a great night it was!!
