About Egroeg:
Covid-19: - To minimise risks - for both our guests & ourselves - we have, for the foreseeable future, disabled our online booking facilities. This will allow us to have complete control over our bookings and will enable us to operate a "buffer days" policy, between consecutive bookings. We are also operating a "single party occupancy" policy thereby ensuring that our guests are not exposed to other guests. For the reasons (above) we regret that we will no longer be able to offer "single night" accomodation - minimum stay is now two (2) nights.
If you would like to stay with us, please get in touch by email (egroeg34@btinternet.com) - identifying the arrival date, number of nights & number of guests - and we will be pleased to discuss your requirements.
Egroeg B&B - Egroeg B&B is a contemporary, architect designed, “upside down” house – with two guest bedrooms (all en-suite) on the ground floor and superb views - across The Minch, to N. Uist & Harris - from the split-level first floor, where the living-area and kitchen-dining area are all seamlessly integrated into a large open-plan living space.
A wood-burning stove completes the exclusive ambiance …
