The place was clean and tidy, and the owner was very kind. But until I arrived I had no idea that the room did not have its own bathroom.
Sandwick Bay was OK, but pretty limited.
However Stornoway is a very limited place. No restaurants as such, Even the chippies shut at 8.
Lewis has a lot going for it - north, west and south.
Stornoway is the obvious place to stay - but is not much fun.

Jim is very welcoming and was exceptionally helpful when we had a problem with bike rack.

This has to be the worst place i have ever stayed and have stayed in many places. For £175 per night for a double room thankfully en-suite ( the only room that was out of 9) due to the standard its worth half of this amout

Shocked that this type of place not only still exists but also can charge these exorbitantly high prices. Our room was the only one with en suite (room 9). The establishment smelled of maybe animals (2 cats, 2 dogs) or cigarettes or any other unpleasant odours you can think of.....breakfast had to be chosen the night before, along with time, we were there on time and was immediately served on a cold plate, a luke warm selection. Property very tired but our room was clean enough. Would not recommend but as we found out, you are not spoiled for choice in Stornoway but we will not be back!

Very peaceful, but a bit outdated now.
Stay was perfectly pleasant, clean and comfy bed. Jim as the owner was really helpful and responsive. It would be fair to say that the guest house was a bit outdated and also fair to include the fact that bathroom is not en suite. Not a problem, in fact, but might be a surprise to some.

Unclear regarding shared bathroom - was under the impression that a private bathroom was booked to discover that the bathroom was a shared facility. Dated B&B needs modernisation. Over powering sickly smell of airfreshners. Outside needs some tlc. Uninviting entrance. The host is a nice chap. Breakfast was adequate.

A wonderful place, I highly recommend!
A fantastic place with extremely nice and helpful hosts. I have enjoyed my stay and the breakfast and will be staying there if I am in Stornoway again. I enjoyed it much more than a hotel I have been to earlier

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.
