Brae Lea Guest House

We spent a lovely week at Brae Lea B&B in April. Conveniently situated a short distance from the Lochboisdale ferry terminal (quite walkable if you are reasonably able bodied and use a nearby footpath as a short cut), the guesthouse lacks for nothing. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. All areas of the guesthouse seem to be recently and tastefully decorated. There is a guest sitting room with an outlook to the sea. Breakfasts are great, of high quality and with a number of choices including local specialities. Rupert, our host, was very welcoming and is knowledgeable about many aspects of the local area. We would definitely stay at Brae Lea again if visiting the islands We would definitely stay here again

Great place in a great location. Rupert is a great host, who will go above and beyond to make your visit perfect, will definitely be staying again on future visits, really appreciated the last minute takeaway coffee + Packed lunch during breakfast - Gavin

Stunning setting .....15 min walk across wee causeway from ferry and open through the winter!

I cannot begin to describe what a wonderful experience I had while staying here. Rupert is the ultimate host. Witty, funny, and full of knowledge not only about Uist but also the rest of the Outer Hebrides and surrounding areas. He sends you an email long before your travel date detailing what to expect along with dining recommendations. Upon arrival you find his humorous and fact filled travel guide waiting for you in your room. We had a couple of discussions on what to see and where according to my schedule along with Rupert providing pictures he had taken to show me what to look for. On top of all this, you start your day with his freshly prepared breakfast (eggs and local smoked salmon-you bet!). The accommodations are clean, welcoming and full of local art and supplies. You cannot go wrong staying here. A true gem!!

Lovely welcoming home. Easy to walk into Portree. Fantastic views from dining room and bedroom.

Rupert, the landlord has gone to a lot of trouble to conder everything a guest might want, there is even an EV charger just outside, (install the Zest App before arriving). If you are catching the ferry, book a breakfast ahead of time as it is first come first served. The ferry terminal is a 5 minute drive from the B&B

Pro Perfect location, easy and nice walk from the ferry Room is well setup including multiple power sockets perfect for recharging multiple devices Bed is super comfortabel Shower has a power shower very quickly you get hot water Nice lounge area accessible for all guests, big windows across Con Take your time for breakfast as the owner needs to take care of all guests Tip for the owner: Don’t close the lounge area during the night so you could do some star chasing

Great stay lovely accommodation host Rupert was very helpful.

Spent a night here as I was working on the Island for a few days. Very clean and comfortable with great views. Rupert the host was very pleasant. I was checking out early before breakfast service but Rupert went out of his way to make me up a lovely bacon sandwich and snacks to take with me. Thank you and if I’m ever on the Island again I will definitely be staying here.
