2 bedroom accommodation in Gramsdale, Isle of Benbecula

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic time in the Outer Hebrides and that was due in part to the wonderful accommodation at Gramsdale House! Peggy, was waiting for us when we arrived and gave us a walk through of all the house features and how everything worked. She was available throughout our stay via phone, or WhatsAp and super responsive. The location was perfect and the views from the conservatory (sun room) and deck were stunning. All the amenities necessary were there and the closeness to restaurants and other services was excellent, too! Gramsdale House is highly recommended if you're planning an outing o this part of the Outer Hebrides!"
