Nice B and B, with helpful owner and great breakfast. The bay is pretty day and night, and is 1 mile walk from town and ferry port. Friendly cat.
Great guest house owned by Jim and Inga, who couldn't do any more for you. The cooked breakfast was amazing and Jim had beers ready for us when we arrived after a gruelling windy bike ride from Ness. Images are looking from hotel
Beautiful guest house. Well maintained. Owner is very friendly. Very clean. Breakfast was first class. Nice view from room with private balcony
This is a traditional guest house. Whilst it does not brim with luxury or expensive style it is a relaxing place to stay. My room was a single with shared bathroom but found no difficulty in this. I got great service and felt very relaxed because it was devoid of stuffy staff painted receptionists. If you want posh and expect others to tend to your every whim on lavish luxury, this is not your place. But if you want a simple bed for the night and a good breakfast . Go for it
Very comfortable guesthouse about a mile from town centre. Lovely breakfast cooked fresh. I would recommend the creamy porridge! Proprietor was very friendly and gave us information about where to visit. Superb views over Sandwick Bay.
Really good location, close to the ferry terminal yet secluded from the town centre, set in a bay. A really good place to catch your breath before exploring, with a really pleasant, helpful host. Very nice breakfast, too.
The host has been very accommodating . He gave us a flask of tea , coffee and biscuits for our day trip . Room is clean and tidy . Shared bathroom was clean we have had no issues . Breakfast was very nice . We will stay again ..
Beautiful place very clean and comfortable living. Great nights sleep perfect for over night stay and lots of fresh air. Eating places and tesco store only 20 minutes walk. Highly recommend tge place.
This unpretentious, family-run B&B is a 17-minute walk from Stornoway town centre and a 14-minute walk from the ferry terminal.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in United Kingdom. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
