On our recent walking trip to the Outer Hebrides we fortunately booked to stay at Bagh Alluin the home of Jac Volbeda. Jac a Dutch artist warmly welcomed us into his architect designed stylish home on his croft on the Island of Baleshare and he looked after us very well. The spacious, well lit, beautifully appointed accommodation with uninterrupted views... More

I haven't quite got the words to describe this place.... Jac is a wonderful, fun, fascinating, generous host - and a fabulous artist. (I'm saving up to go back and buy a painting!!) He is living the dream in Bagh Alluin - which he built himself with passion and perfection. It's gorgeously warm, ultra modern, light and roomy, spic and... More

Jac’s a wonderful host, full of insight on where to go, what to see; a good cook, including Stornaway Black Pudding for breakfast. His place is unique, and the time spent in Bagh Alluin after days outside on the machair, beaches and hills is very restful and enjoyable. Balvenie, Ledaig and Chilean wine with local scallops take on a special... More

If you're the sort who enjoys interesting places and meeting interesting people whilst on your travels, a stay with Jac at Bagh Alluin is a must whilst on North Uist. If you're into art, or architecture, or archaeology, or birding, or diving, or design (especially chairs), or local legends or beaches or islands or.. there'll be plenty to talk about... More

A warm welcome in a stunning location the best B&B, by far, that we have experienced. Jac's unique style and friendly attitude made this a special place. Big skies, the atlantic ocean, the hills and the food all helped make this a great holiday destination

We spent two nights here at the beginning of October. A beautiful place and a fantastic welcome. Jac made us feel more like family than guests. The nearby beach was stunning, we were the only ones there apart from the sheep on the dunes above! The beds were comfy, especially the large continental pillows and the breakfast was delicious with... More

Spent two nights here on a Hebridean tour in August. It is located off the beaten track and has been designed to get the very best experience of a wonderful landscape. The rooms are modern and full of light, each window in the house frames a different picture. Jac is very welcoming and has a fund of knowledge about everything... More

Our trip to Uist was fantastic!. It was made even more memorable because we stayed at Bagh Alluin. This B and B has the best room, best beds, best views, and the breakfast is delicious( Great fruit salad). The atmosphere is relaxed, and Jac makes you feel welcome from the start. We would love to go back here one day!!!

Myself and my fiance spent a perfect four days staying with Jac at Bagh Alluin. Jac is the ultimate host and made us feel like we were guests in him home rather than just customers. The room we stayed in (ground floor) was probabaly the largest room I have ever stayed in in a B+B, with fantastic views. It was... More
