Did not feel welcome and certainly overpriced

Location excellent, unfortunately no otters, but to be expected with the storms

Communication. Due to the storms, our ferry was delayed. As soon as we realised we could not make it (07:30am) to the accommodation, I contacted the host (I thought if they had a guest in the same situation as us, they would appreciate they were ok to stay that night), to be greeted with complaining that I had woken her and her lie in had been spoiled! The accommodation was cold when we arrived (having battled through the very bad weather), it took ages to warm up. Extremely basic, so pleased we were only staying one night. No offer to give us a reduced rate for only being one (not two nights). The accommodation we had left, gave us the extra night at a very reduced rate. Not happy. I did contact the owner with my comments, not even acknowledged - says it all. Not the best last evening in the Outer Hebrides (thankfully our previous hosts were absolutely amazing - Ard Buidhe B&B.

A cozy, magical Bothy.

Otter Bothy is perfectly equipped for a very comfortable stay. We wanted for nothing. The view is magical. Ducks and otters in the morning.

5.0 / 10.0

Disappointingly no otters to be seen. Teeny tiny and very isolated. Must bring all your own provis

The property was a sublime location for views.

I feel like I was led to believe otters would be seen in vicinity. Understand no gusrantee but I was still disappointed +++. We arrived in stornoway and had a last minute idea to get supplies.... food etc. If we hadn't have done that we could've had NOTHING. There was no provisions left for us on arrival or warning that they are really in middle of nowhere. We needed to bring all our food and if we didn't it would've been the next day before we could've eaten. Doesn't take much to leave the basics for folks.

Fabulous location, perfect spot to decompress.

Fantastic location; bothy small but well kitted out with essential kitchen utensils, comfy bed, and large modern bathroom. Idyllic sitting out on the deck overlooking the water.

Nothing. It was perfect.

8.0 / 10.0

Great spot for a short break.

Quiet location with beautiful view across the water. Comfortable bed and good shower. Seating outside. Efficient and quick to warm heater.

Lack of seating inside due to size of property. Slope to get to property with a sharp turn off and on to the road. Another building near to the property which I wasn't expecting.

7.0 / 10.0

Good but not great.

Bothy was cute but so small. Would have been nice to have somewhere to leave luggage. The location was good, easy drive to most there is to see. The Uig Community Shop was great to have. Wonderful initiative by the community. Inside there is also a small souvenir shop plus they can do your laundry for you there. Alas, no otters to be found when we were there.

Maybe a little too cramped and the fact there is no WiFi, although the bunkhouse next door did have access.

Magical stay on the Loch with wildlife on the doorstep.

Loved our stay here. The Bothy is right on the water. We watched ganets diving for fish and an otter swam past morning and night. Beautiful views across the Loch, great location for exploring this stunning isle. Although the room is small, the host has set the bed high so suitcases can slide under the bed. It worked so well that we didn’t feel tight for space at all. The little kitchenette has all we needed. I would love to be able to come back and stay longer. Donald was a friendly and happy host too. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful.

10.0 / 10.0

Amazing location, everything you could need in a very small space!

The location is outstanding and yes we saw the otters! Very compact but had everything you needed. Gorgeous! The owner is very friendly and helpful.

Nothing but because of size wouldn’t want to stay more than 2 or 3 nights.

Superb

We loved our stay here - it was quite literally a life saver since our campervan roof blew off in a storm and this was the only available spot on Lewis! I called up and the bothy was open with the keys on windowsill - so super easy to access at short notice. Amazing view and the kayaks as well were perfect.

The one thing I would say is that it would make a lot of difference to have some basic cooking oil for quests to use as this is something I know I tend to forget always. (also in general be well stocked as all stores shut Sunday and also it's a fair drive most places for supplies)

Small cute hut with an amazing view and very close to the beaches and Uig.

Absolutely extraordinary view over the lake, almost only nature sounds surronding you. Good start to discover the southern part of Lewis and even Harris.

Of course it is a very small hut (but the bath is not as tiny as the kitchen ;) ) - we knew that and were perfectly happy with it.

The bed was comfortable. The views from the bothy were beautiful, located over the shores of Loch Roag. The silence and stars at night led to a really peaceful stay.

9.0 / 10.0

Superb

everything! The stunning location and Donald was extremely helpful and lovely, we could have spent hours chatting to him and learning more about the area. The Bothy was all we hoped it would be and more. It’s extremely well equipped, the bathroom has a great size and everything was super clean. The fact that you can hire the kayaks and start paddling from your doorstep is a treat.

There was nothing we did not like. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but we were told this will be replaced in a few weeks so that should make it even more perfect.

6.0 / 10.0

Pleasant

The view ..... spectacular.

No personal touchs which could & would have added to the experience, the bed was soooo creaky with the slightest movement, lack of attention to some areas for cleaning.

We had a lovely stay at Otter Bothy and would definitely come back.

It was really quiet and in a beautiful location. We were really impressed with the location, right on the shore. The bothy itself had everything we needed.
