BUG Review
This bunkhouse is in a peaceful rural setting by a sea inlet. They run sea kayak courses, so there are often lots of activity going on. The hostel is well used but it’s clean and spacious with a good kitchen, large lounge and dining area with a communal table. It’s very sociable, and the staff are helpful.

Dorm bed £9-11

There is a fantastic museum/art gallery in Lochmaddy that is well worth a look. The local pub does great fish and chips.

The hostel was clean and tidy, with bright and airy rooms. I was there in July and there was hardly anyone about (including staff! had to slip my money through a gap in the door!). At times this was a little weird as I kept expecting people to come in and shout at me to get out of their house or something!

Lochmaddy is sleepy and small, but the museum is worth a visit and it was the best stopover point on my trip from Lewis - Barra and back. Not the most atmospheric hostel (I think it would be a good place if you were to visit with a group though). Some of the old style SYHAs are more interesting.
