Sandwick Bay Guest House

We were extremely disappointed to find that there were 8 bedrooms ie up to 10 people sharing a bathroom and only two toilets between us. Appalling in this day and age. A man in a neighbouring room insisted on a long soak in the bath regardless of who might need the loo. This is more like a dated hostel. Avoid. We raised the high cost with the owner and his response was to suggest we moved eksewhere at 6pm. This is close to the ferry and the owner exploits this to the fiul.

Very good Very nice manager, nice room and very good breakfast.

Friendly welcome, decent breakfast, clean room.and shared bathroom, good parking. Good view from dining room and a short walk into town. A minor point was that there was nothing on which to dry hands in the bathroom.

Was comfortable for a night before heading to the ferry. Owner made me lunch as I was leaving too early for breakfas

Not an enjoyable visit. Only stayed 45 minutes before deciding to leave. Room was very dated. Needs a complete makeover from the wooden floor to the ceiling. Bathroom (shared) dated back to the 70's. No pre warning of the "big£ dogs the owner delighted in telling us about, in a menacing way. All in all, would not go back and would never recommend to anyone else. I value my friends too much!

For the solo cyclist this accommodation is close to the main Stornoway shopping area and about 20-25 mins walk from the Lewis Castle estate. The accommodation is also not very far from the Stornoway ferry to Ullapool. The room was comfortable, without having been recently refurbished as other properties across the Outer Hebrides have been. I didn't feel cold in the room and owing to a bout of my IBS - NOT caused by the guest house - I was awake and out of bed for a siginificant portion of the night. The shower space and shower are good, but shared. The toilet also. The dog is intermittanly vocal, but kept apart from the guests, whom I am sure it gives notice of, but with whom I am sure it would prefer to be involved. This being essentially a B&B, your dinner will be out. Stornoway, though, has a number of what I believe are good eateries. There are also a Co-Op and Tesco nearby.
