Lovely stay at yours Shirley, Thank you! Not only were you kind but the room made me feel very comfortable. See you next time! Hope to see more of Uig and Skye someday.

There are a lot of hiking to be done. Even with public transfer it is possible to see all places. Stay a night on Harris, go there by the ferry from Uig.

Would Recommend: Yes

The perfect location with the most amazing host.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th November 2021:

A recently renovated house in a quiet location up a steep road from Uig but within walking distance of the ferry and the village. Everything is immaculate and new. The host Shirley goes out of her way to help and is very professional. Can recommend the porridge and bacon rolls for breakfast ( order the night before).

Near the Calmac ferry terminal, the excellent Rankin’s general store and the Uig Hotel.

Very warm welcome upon arrival from hosts. The heating within the rooms was turned on before our arrival. Had a very pleasant sleep.

The local petrol station has a cafe next to its store that does excellent fish and chips. Be aware that the cafe does close by 6pm.

Very modern and clean . Shirley is a great host. Nothing is too much bother for. Very down to earth and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone catching the Ferry as it's a five minute drive to the Port

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely B&B, very polite and welcoming staff, breakfast was nice and the room was very clean. Bed was comfy, but loud (squeaky). Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Book somewhere to eat dinner prior to your arrival. All dinner spots were booked up or closed.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th October 2021:

We were made very welcome and when we discovered all the local restaurants were fully booked for dinner, Shirley laid a table in the dining room for us, so we could eat a takeaway and even made us a lovely pot of tea! The rooms were immaculate with very comfy beds and lovely views. Porridge cooked to order for breakfast and fresh fruit, croissants and toast.

Book restaurants ahead of your visit and would recommend the Galley for seafood. We could only get a takeaway, as they were fully booked and we could see why they were popular.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very friendly welcome. Loverly clean room with good en- suite bathroom, with a shower cubicle large enough for a larger framed man to use. Breakfast set in up for a long day.

Drive up the road a little further to get a good view over Uig.

Would Recommend: Yes

It is a beautifully renovated house with all the facilities you could wish for. Shirley made us very welcome and went out of her way to assist us wherever she could. I'd recommend a stay here to anyone.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2021:

My stay was great! Shirley could not have been more accommodating and even let a friend, who was camping, join me for breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. I stayed in the single room overlooking the garden which was lovely. The room and my private (separate) bathroom were spotless and everything looked brand new. I would definitely recommend a stay if you are in the area.

Visit the Skye brewery near the ferry terminal. However, there are no seats, it is really just a shop. Yer Ben is particularly good.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th September 2021:

Great service and lovely people. Gave amazing suggestions on things to do and eat and everything was clean and updated in the house.

While note many things are open or around in the actual village, the hebridean Shack is amazing and convenient!

Would Recommend: Yes

13th September 2021:

Lovely place 3 minutes from the Uig ferry so convenient for travelling on or back from other islands. Convenient for exploring Skye too. The manager was very welcoming and helpful too. Great croissants!

Locally, there are a number of studios and galleries to visit. It is close to the fairy glen and convenient for visiting Dunvegan Castle. We had dinner at the Seafood Gallery, 5 minutes drive from the B&B which was excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

Sadly we didn’t stay the night as one of the party had taken ill and we decided just to keep traveling home but I’m sure it would have been a loverly stay in a lovely location

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd September 2021:

Shirley Shaw is an excellent Manager and host of the Bed & Breakfast. The property is kept to an extremely high standard and the bedrooms are very comfortable. We would be happy to recommend 5 Glenconon.

The Uig hotel nearby serve super food and there is a local grocer shop which is very well stocked with an adjoining post office. The Uig Pottery centre is lovely and Portree is well worth a visit for quaint shops and restaurants.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2021:

Shirley and Neil were extremely welcoming and their B&B is in a beautiful, secluded location just off the main road in Uig and is ideal for travellers heading for a morning ferry. Our room with en suite was spotlessly clean and very comfortable and Shirley provided a feast of a breakfast in the morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we’ll definitely be returning in the future. Overall we can’t recommend 5 Glenconan highly enough!

Our sat nav had located 5 Glenconon as much further up the road than it really is. It’s actually the first house that you reach after you take the turning off the main road but is very well signposted so we didn’t miss it. The Uig Hotel restaurant is wonderful for an evening meal and is only 10 minute walk from the B&B, but be sure to book in advance. The Fairy Glen is also within walking distance and is well worth a visit to wander through its dramatic landscape. If you have more time and fancy venturing further, take the road up to Staffin and enjoy the views over to Harris and North Uist.

16th August 2021:

As stated by us in the visitors book, the room and bed were excellent, the breakfast was first class and the owners could not have been more helpful. Although this was for one night only prior to going over to the islands on the ferry, I would thoroughly recommend for anybody wishing to stay longer.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th June 2021:

Shirley made us very welcome on our arrival. The room was beautiful, an excellent 'welcome tray' was much appreciated and the bed comfortable. We had to make a very early start the next day, so I cannot comment on the 'regular' breafast here, but Shirley very kindly made us up a good takeaway breakfast to eat on the ferry. We look forward to returning sometime, when we can linger longer and enjoy the delights of this great B&B (one of the best we have experienced) and its surroundings.

Shirley recommended the Uig Hotel for dinner that night, and even booked a table for us - it was a good recommendation!

Would Recommend: Yes

7th June 2021:

Room was very clean and had everything we needed for the night: comfortable beds, quite location and the host was very friendly and helpful. If you inform the host about your dietary requirements Shirley (the host) will prepare it for you as you wish. Very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend it!

This property is located in a close distance from Fairly Glen which was perfect for our stay as we got up early in the morning and managed to have the place for ourselves.

20th May 2021:

Very much enjoyed our stay - and excellent service including tracking us down on the quay to pass on something we had left behind. Just sorry it needed a 2nd trip for you to get key back. Baked treats in the room on arrival excellent - home baked croissants were also a real treat! Very much enjoyed the views, the local tips about what to see and the chat about Melbourne!

Recommend Fairy Glenn and the drive up the hill. Uig Hotel good for an evening meal with excellent views from tables outside. Good place to catch ferry from!

Would Recommend: Yes

16th May 2021:

Would Recommend: Yes

13th May 2021:

Very cosy and comfortable accommodation, was just what we needed after a wet and windy day on the Uists. Shirley is a very friendly and attentive and top marks for her husband's breakfast porridge! 😊

The house is ideally placed for journeys to Harris and North Uist or onward trips through Skye and the mainland.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very quiet peaceful & beautiful location where we were made to feel very welcome. Loved the special touches like the well stocked welcome tea tray & bag of goodies. Beds were extremely comfortable & the bed linen & towels high quality. Breakfast was excellent & personal preferences catered for. Beautiful accommodation & would love to visit again.

Very close to the ferry to Uist. Excellent for touring the north of Skye.

Would Recommend: Yes
