Owned and managed by Isobel & Alan Graham, this small, intimate hotel and restaurant serves some of the finest food in the Hebrides.
Orasay is the ideal location for a special Hebridean holiday.

After your meal you can sit back in the lounge and witness some of the most spectacular sunsets you may ever see. If you feel a little more active the surrounding area is perfect for an evening stroll.
In the near vicinity of the hotel, indeed sometimes from the hotel, it is possible to see all kinds of wildlife. Hen-harriers are common and the sighting of a Sea-eagle is not unusual.

For the restaurant, a superb selection of fish and seafood comes fresh from boat to hotel kitchen, supplied by local fishermen. Much of our beef is from our own fold of Highland Cattle, raised on our croft. Discerning, reliable producers and suppliers, who are aware of the quality we require, deliver locally reared Hebridean lamb, pork, game, poultry and vegetables.
Using only the best quality ingredients and Isobel’s own creative style of cooking, our restaurant has gained a reputation throughout the Hebrides, and beyond, for the provision of excellent dishes of generous proportion, though they can be provided to suit individual appetites.
Meals, all freshly prepared to order, can be chosen from our a la carte menu or our ‘Catch of the Day’ board. Our assistant chef is a qualified baker and as well as producing fresh bread and scones, he conjures up a selection of mouth-watering desserts to round of your ‘Orasay Inn meal experience’.
Fine wines, from around the world, have been selected for our wine list.
Meals are served in our tastefully appointed dining room or, weather permitting, on the elevated decked area, both affording superb views, across The Minch to the Isle of Skye (on a very clear day, to the Isle of Rum) and also to the mountains of South Uist.
