Rooms are warm, clean, and the views from the front are lovely. Sharing a bath room with the other non-ensuite was not a problem, bath robes in room as well. Very friendly, excellent breakfast (top quality stuff inc home baked bread and exquisite black pudding) and free freshly baked cakes in the room every day. Doreen could win the great... More

Don't miss this place! Our bus from the airport drove us to the door, welcomed by Doreen and by her famous baking. A terrific breakfast, and endless help and advice from Doreen. An excellent base for exploring one of Scotland's most beautiful islands.

All the bread here is homemade....brilliant. The breakfasts are fantastic and cooked to perfection with a huge pot of tea and lovely view from the... More

I stayed for three nights in early September and have to say that Doreen and Donald run one of the best B&B's I've stayed in. Lovely touch leaving a goodie bag of home baking each day as snacks and the breakfasts are superb. All in all a great stay and would recommend to anyone wishing to visit Barra (the B&B... More

We only had a short stay whilst travelling around the Outer Hebrides but were made very welcome by Doreen. The room was immaculate and very comfortable and the breakfast was marvelous. Would definately recommend.

Doreen & Donald are simply the best! I can't believe we lucked out with such gracious & friendly hosts. The breakfasts are amazing. You definitely will never be hungry when you stay there. The rooms are very comfortable & sweetly decorated. Donald & Doreen take the time to answer any questions you may have about anything on the island. The... More

Dorren & Donald's B&B is an absolute gem! Daily homemaking, roomy and very comfortable bedroom with ensuite shower room. Extremely clean and very accommodating (I ironed most mornings). Great Lounge with Sky TV which was great for a little downtime between wedding activities. Breakfast was HUGE - and very important to start the day. You may choose a different selection... More

From the minute we stepped off the Ferry and met Doreen @ Hillside we were made most welcome. Doreen is just adorable, her homebaking, scones, cakes,bread were simply divine. The breakfast choice and food wonderful. We had the en-suite double room which was extremely clean and comfortable. Would recommend Hillside to everyone and Isle of Barra was absolutely fanstastic, beautiful... More
