Lews Castle, hotel in Stornoway

Lews Castle offers accommodations in Stornoway, 1.3 miles from Tràigh Thunga Beach and 16 miles from Callanish Standing Stones. This apartment features free private parking, an elevator, and free...

Everything from the checking in process as we arrived early throughout the entire stay. Nothing was too much bother to any of the staff. The cafe is excellent but I wish it was open 7 days a week and also in the evening for some light meals if you don't fancy cooking in the kitchen. Our apartment was phenomenal and we have already booked for 2 further stays. Would be good if more than 1 apartment was dog friendly as we want to come in April but can't as the 1 apartment is already being used. I think if you are paying a cleaning fee, then all of the apartments should be pet friendly. This is a gem of a place and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone - so much better than staying in a hotel.

Logan Home, hotel in Stornoway

Logan Home in Stornoway provides accommodations with free Wifi, a 19-minute walk from Tràigh Thunga Beach, 17 miles from Callanish Standing Stones, and a 10-minute walk from Museum Nan Eilean.

Firstly, Maria (the host) was exceptionally gracious. She offered to accommodate us in the event our ferry was canceled due to weather. She seems like a lovely, caring person. The apartment was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect: a very short walk to downtown.

    Small historic town, that is the ideal for travelling to Harris. There are a few historic sites to see but some of them were not open when we visited. Sunday very quiet with nothing open or available to do. Great place to go for a relaxing retreat.

    The shops in Stornoway were super with a good range of things to choose from. We visited the butcher, the charity shops, the deli, the new Co-op supermarket, tweed shops, Tourist Information and Taigh Ceilidh where we received a very warm welcome.

    We were very lucky with the weather given the time of year. Stunning beaches and very interesting historical sites. Enjoyed eating out and had excellent meals. Really helpful information from Jessica in the tourism centre and pleasant friendly locals who were keen to share their knowledge of the islands

    the hotel is fine the staff are good prices a bit high but that is standard for the island. my only problem is a slight health issue and with the very steep stairs and the rooms all upstairs i found this a problem but the hotel is ok.

    Don't bother with Stornoway itself ( apart from the castle).

    Don't bother with Stornoway itself ( apart from the castle). The shopping is poor and it's very difficult to eat out on a Sunday or Monday. Most restaurants are closed! SO BOOK if you can !( We don't think they want to encourage tourists!) Do go to the Black House village and the standing stones. Really interesting. We were looking for wildlife but it was minimal. We were only there 2 full days but wished we were back on Uist!!

    The receptionist was really friendly and let us leave our bags at the hotel and check in a bit early. The bedroom was nicer than we expected from the outside of the building. The shower was great and all the bathroom supplies - towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower caps - were nice. Everything was very clean. The room wasn't huge but had two windows, one looking out to the harbour. We didn't have a cooked breakfast but there was a good selection of fruit & cereals. Nice that they offer breakfast from 5.30 for early ferries etc.

    A lovely cosy cottage, warm and welcoming with lovely extras such as fruit, homemade biscuits, milk in the fridge and chocolates by the beds. Angus and his family were perfect hosts as well as their two delightful labradors. Ample supply of logs and coal helped to add warmth inside whilst the wind howled and the rain fell outside! Easy access to Stornoway as well as a great base to explore the island as well as visit my friend’s brother in Stornoway. Thank you for a wonderful week and we will definitely return.

    I booked this apartment for myself and two colleagues for a business trip to Lewis. My colleagues were a bit skeptical as they usually stay in hotels. The apartment couldn't have been better. All the rooms were large, clean and comfortable. The kitchen and laundry had everything you could want and the lounge area was comfortable with a great TV, Echo Dot and very good Wi-Fi. It was located in the centre of Stornoway and so all amenities were at hand. Overall, a great place to stay.

    Lovely staff- went the extra mile to fit me in for dinner-found time to chat- very attentive. Room was lovely- modern- bed so comfortable didn’t want to get up. Little touches like tablet on plate - just wonderful. The shower was superb- can’t say that about most hotels! Would stay here every time I visit Lewis. Food wonderful too- good selection of drinks.

    Good location with Harbour and Castle view. Reception staff welcoming and helpful as were the restaurant staff. Food was excellent if a little pricey but sufficient choices available to avoid ‘splashing out’. Room was clean and comfortable and in keeping with this period hotel. Good breakfast menu and willingness to adjust individual choices if required.

    What a wee gem of a place! Shona was so friendly and kind. Breakfast was delicious, decor gorgeous. Beds were comfy and location is great (right in town, across from ferry, close to everything). Owners were so sweet, they even gave me a hot water bottle when I'd made myself too cold walking in the rain. I will 100% stay here again next time I'm in stornoway.

    The owner is a wonderful host. On our tour around Scotland this was our favorite accommodation. This is due to the lovely owner, comfortable room, the dram of Scotch she had in our room when we arrived, the beauty of Stornoway and Margo’s wonderful breakfast. We didn’t want to leave.

    After booking into a previous guest house which we walked out of we didn’t have much choice with where we could stay. There were only 2 places and we picked your hotel. Good choice 😊
