I spent two nights at Hal O' the Wynd. I was supposed to stay three nights, but had to leave a day early because of impending bad weather shutting down ferry service to the mainland. The owner Alli was super helpful with keeping up with the ferry schedule changes; and he recommended we leave a day early or take a chance of not getting out until 3-4 days later. So, we switched to a late-afternoon ferry that day. Alli let us stay at the B&B until mid-afternoon free of charge. Shona was a wonderful cook and provided very nice home cooked breakfasts. During this trip (stayed at four B&Bs), Hal O' the Wynd was the only that did this.

Absolutely loved staying at this marvelous guest house. Alistair was extremely welcoming and friendly. Charming building in an extremely convenient location. Short walk to town and the Tesco grocery store. Everything was clean, the beds very comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic. Even tried Stornoway's famous blood pudding and totally loved it! Got to meet Dolly the singing dog and she was adorable! Hope to return one day.

From the moment we met the lovely couple managing this place, we were friends. The wife cooks a wonderful breakfast and the husband is full of helpful information. There is parking on street just down from the building. Located right across from the ferry terminal. Stayed for 2 nights while we explored Lewis & Harris. I have allergies to fragrance and they obtained fragrance free soap for me. Went above and beyond in so many ways. Room was spacious with good view of the harbor area. Quiet at night. Hope to visit again!

This place really was a home from home, Shona and Ali are lovely and looked after us as if we were family. Super comfy room, lovely bed, and a great view of the harbour entrance (room 2). Delicious breakfast, cooked fresh, unlimited tea coffee, fruit, cereal etc.

This was a terrific find. If you're coming to Stornoway by ferry from Ullapool, it couldn't be more perfectly situated, just round the corner from the ferry terminal exit. It's also a very short walk from Tesco and the town centre. But the main attraction was the warm welcome from the owners, who were incredibly hospitable and helpful. The ensuite room was very comfortable, with tea and coffee making facilities. And there was an excellent cooked breakfast, with Stornoway black pudding on offer. A great place to stay, both for Stornoway itself and a base for travelling round Lewis and Harris.

What a lovely place to stay. Our hosts were warm and welcoming. The room spacious, comfortable and spotless. The view from the bathroom was spectacular, thoughtfully a pair of binoculars were provided which I used to watch the boats coming in as well as the wildlife. We will definitely be returning Thanks for the hospitality x

Shona was the perfect hostess nothing was to much trouble. The room was spotless and well appointed with everything you need for a couple of nights stay, It gave easy walking access to the town and was directly opposite the exit from the Ferry Terminal. The rooms are double glazed so no noise from passing traffic. There is a Tesco supermarket 100yds from the front door, handy if you have forgotten anything. All in all a great place to stay.

Had a great stay with Ali and Shona. The room and bathroom was clean and comfortable, nothing was too much trouble. The views were great too. Breakfast choices were superb and tea and coffee endlessly supplied. If you want to know about the area, they have a wealth of knowledge. It is easy to get to, from the ferry and near the town centre. Ali tried to teach us some Gaelic, (we weren't very good). They are a lovely welcoming couple with a great place to stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Tapadh leat Ali and Shona
