I can't think of anything at all.

Rupert was able to accommodate us at short notice when adverse weather conditions caused ferry cancellations and ruined our plans for the last part of our trip to the Hebrides. He was a most gracious host, full of local knowledge and helped us when there were even more ferry disruptions! We loved the cosy, spotless rooms, the picture window in the comfortable lounge overlooking Mount Kenneth, the delicious breakfasts, the library (especially the nature field guides) and the peace and quiet. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the whole place just made us feel warm and cosy while the weather was blowing a hooley outside!

Very comfortable and clean room with good appliances, lighting, heater etc. The breakfast was really good, and the dining room and lounge are very comfortable spaces. Rupert is a very attentive host and very knowledgeable of the Outer Hebrides. He was happy to chat away and recommend the best places for certain activities. I also had issues with multiple ferry cancellations due to adverse weather, but Rupert was extremely helpful as he receives all the updates and could recommend the best course of action for getting on my way. Having already been delayed a day for departing, his advice allowed me to get home that day rather than waiting until the following day for the rebooked ferry which had been cancelled twice.

Nothing

The facilities and location were excellent, and everything was spotlessly clean. The guest lounge was a real treat, and breakfast cooked to order by Rupert was above my expectation.

Rupert is one of the best hosts we ever met! He's very friendly and has a good sense of humor. He gave a lot of information where we might go. Very delicious breakfast (my wife would recommend the peated smoked salmon).

Not relevant everything was lovely

Rupert was the most helpful host, he couldn't do enough for us when our car battery died. Rupert got other people to come and assist us.

Rupert is a Superb Host, And Brea Lea House is the perfect place to stay and Explore the Uists and surrounding areas, it's ideally located for the Lochboisdale ferry ⛴️ to Mallaig, or the Isles of Barra/Vatersay Ferry ⛴️ from Ardmhor.... the Scenery is Especially Beautiful, Rupert has excellent Knowledge of the Area and is very Helpful ( so any advice) just ask him.... Breakfast is Delicious, Local produce featuring heavily 😋....Rooms are very Comfortable..... We Highly Recommend this Bed and Breakfast....our Sincere Thanks 😊 Russell &Angela xx

Caledonian MacBrayne changed our ferry times and routes which none of us could control.

Excellent host, a wealth of information about the local birds, places to go, where to swim, etc. He wrote the guide book. Bedrooms are quiet, lots of hot water. Good choices for breakfast incorporating local ingredients. Beautiful view from the guest lounge.

I do like fresh fruit for breakfast but I realise that this may be difficult on the island due to ferry disruption and the distance fresh produce must travel!

A very friendly, helpful, informed host, who answers any queries promptly. He pro-actively informed me of ferry timetable changes, and is very knowledgable indeed about the wildlife of the islands. A good selection of breakfast choices is provided, and the accommodation is very clean, spacious, well appointed and the bed comfortable. His guidance on the evening menus for local restaurants much appreciated. Thank you Rupert for adding to a wonderful Hebridean experience.

A true gem. I’ve cycled the world for eight years and have stayed in well over 1000 places around the world. Kudos to Rupert for hitting every note! A warm greeting. A nice chat with him and another guest. He’s an academic birder and an interesting man. He happily accommodated my touring steed, then showed me about his lovely browsing library full of Hebridean history and tales and language and lore. Recommended a book that I read—a very interesting read. His common area is beautiful—stylish and full of views and more local lore. My room was super clean and super comfortable—again, like the common area, stylish and well appointed. Tranquil and quiet. A good breakfast and I was off to pedal, happily having enjoyed this lovely gem. Stay here. You will be glad you did. Many thanks. Tailwinds be with you. Michael Himes

Nothing, just wish it was closer to my home.

We enjoyed the best breakfast we've ever had in a B&B. The beds were so comfortable we didn't want to get up. Review sites usually ask what could be improved? Nothing, it was perfect.

Very neat and well organised business. Great location for ferries and touring.
