"Reading other reviews I was a bit worried about staying here but it was great. I had a huge room with a seaview and big modern bathroom with lovely Scottish toiletries. I thoroughly enjoyed a hot bath after a cold day out on the bike. They have a big indoor room around the back of the hotel where you can store your bike. Huge comfortable bed and the room was comfortably warm. Busy, friendly bar and restaurant and I had a lovely steak pie for dinner. Very much enjoyed my stay here."

"Very much enjoyed our 3 generations stay at Altabrug. Have visited family in South Uist for many years but never ventured down the Stoneybridge road. Bikes hired from Lochboisdale and delivered to the door helped us explore the area during some lovely weather. The cottage had large windows throughout which allowed us to enjoy the views and the wildlife. Our wee dog enjoyed the freedom around the cottage and loch."
