Link to more photosThis small  hotel has evolved from what was originally a restaurant enterprise by its owners Isobel and Alan Graham.

Isobel, is well known in Scotland as a 'TV chef' and was part of the team that prepared the gala dinner at the opening of the Scottish Parliament.  She runs the kitchen at the Orasay Inn with the assistance of a excellent baker/sweet/sous chef.

You can download a PDF 'typical' startesr and main course menu here (opens in a new window).  There are home-made desserts and "daily specials" and "catch of the day" to choose from. too.

The restaurant is ideally situated to take advantage of the landscape, with large windows revealing the panoramic view towards Loch Carnan and, on a clear day, the mountains of Skye. Adjoining the restaurant is a comfortable lounge, with bar, where guests can relax.

The bedroom picture shown here is one of the price group 4 superior rooms, which have their own private balcony-deck - ideal for peaceful relaxation, or to view passing wildlife.  

Price group 3 rooms are also available - a bit less spacious, without the deck, and some with with side or rear views -  but it's an excellent way to enjoy the Orasay Inn's attractions on a tighter budget.

The bedrooms are well appointed with TV, hospitality tray, phone and ensuite facilities.  

Outside, the restaurant opens onto an attractive decked area, with access to the lawned garden. Sheltered from the prevailing wind direction, this area will often be a  pleasant sun-trap in summer. 

A quote from  ‘The Sunday Times’ Travel Section, in an article on the Outer Hebrides, reads, “Finally, don’t forget to eat some seafood. The scallops, in particular, are enormous and one of the best ways to enjoy them is as part of a seafood platter at the Orasay Inn. Clean functional and home to one of the best chefs on the islands”.

The tidal sea loch is only a couple of hundred yards away, accessible across the croft at the rear of Orasay Inn.  There are numerous small islands and inlets in the loch, and there.  The Loch Druidibeg Nature reserve is nearby and well worth exploriing.
