The Isle of Barra Hotel sits above Tangasdale beach in Halaman Bay, on the west side of the Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides. Rooms are all sea facing or sea view with en-suite bathrooms, and a private footpath leads straight onto the beach, where you might spot gannets, dolphins, otters and eagles. On site there is a sea-view restaurant and a blue lounge bar, and dogs are welcome throughout. A private car park makes it easy to leave the car and stroll into Castlebay, only minutes away by car, for the ferry terminal and town. Nearby you can also visit Dualchas, a museum and gallery about 1.6 miles away, making this a relaxed coastal base for exploring Barra.
