Disliked: Amenities
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.

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

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.

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.

Not an enjoyable stay!

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!

Very peaceful, but a bit outdated now.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 It would be fair to say that the guest house was a bit outdated and also fair to include the fact that bathroom is not en suite.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.

unangenehmer Geruch im ganzen Haus, Türen und Betten knarrten stark. Schlafzimmer Fenster ließ sich nur 5 cm öffnen. Gemeinschaftsbad und Toilette auf dem Flur. Hellhörig. Man hörte die Gespräche der Nachbargäste im Zimmer.

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
