Welcome to Dunard Hostel on the Isle of Barra. This small family run hostel is warm and welcoming, and makes a lovely place to stay after a day of sea air and salty winds. From here there are beautiful views over the bay towards the castle and islands beyond. We are just a three minutes walk from the ferry terminal. Head up the hill, turn left at the old school and we are the third house on the right. We welcome individuals, families and organised groups. The hostel is open at all times and you are free to come and go as you please. Dunard is situated in Castlebay, Isle of Barra’s main village. It is a few minutes from the ferry terminal, handful of shops, tourist information, bank, post office, cafe and two hotel/pubs, which in summer fill with the sound of fiddles, accordions and bagpipes.

The beaches along the west coast of Barra are definitely worth exploring since they are vulnerable to all north atlantic swells and winds which batter the outer hebrides. All can hold surf in the right conditions and are easily accessible from the road.
