Hebridean Guest House

With an early morning flight from Stornoway, I thought I would much rather spend my final night in the Outer Hebrides close by, rather than have quite a long drive from south Harris. I must say that the interaction between owner Linda and her live-in namesake was really welcoming. I was offered a room at the back as I'd read some reviews who had been bothered by traffic noise at the front But I was swayed by the offer of a lovely big room at the front with a comfy settee. The guest house also has a large lounge downstairs with a huge TV. The bathroom was splendid with modern fixtures and nice fluffy towels. I always rate a place's attention to detail by the tea tray - and this was one of the best. Herbal and normal tea, hot chocolate, coffee and some tasty Stornoway shortbread. The wifi, which had supposedly been fixed that very day, didn't work at all in my room, which meant the smart TV wasn't clever at all. What I'd read about the road noise was absolutely right. Not pleasant at all. Especially after the total tranquility of south Harris. With the breakfast chef having not appeared by the time of my early breakfast, lovely Linda set to, scrambling my eggs and grilling sausages and Stornoway black pudding from Charles MacLeod, literally round the corner. But I still prefer Mr. Munro's from Tarbert. Great friendly wee place, but make sure to get a room at the back!

The location was convenient, but too much per night in my opinion. The room was small and clean. The towels were rough (felt like sandpaper). I was in room 8 and the bed was horrible. I stayed 2 nights and barely slept, as you felt each spring in the mattress. The owners definitely need to get new beds. Note there are very few accommodations on the island, so I suggest you book early.

Superfriendly staff, very clean room /bathroom, nice breakfast, your bike can be stored safely in the backyard. Would warmly recommend a stay.

This is a very nice place to stay in Stornaway. It’s clean, comfortable and friendly. Excellent breakfast. And Linda was quick to solve our dilemma when snags with the ferry meant we needed another night in Stornaway at short notice.

Very clean. Felt like a home from home. Staff were very welcoming and breakfast was great. Even got the football in the living room!

Stayed here on my Outer Hebrides Tour. Lynda was the absolute best!! She made my stay very perfect and bent back backwards to accommodate me at every possible stage. Single room was very clean albeit very small. Breakfast was very well cooked and delicious. Very near to the Co-Op if you need anything. Would recommend staying whilst overnighting in Stornaway. Thank you Lynda - you are a rare Gem!

Friendly B & B ,well located in Stornoway. Stayed 3 nights as part of a Rabbie's Tour. My single room was small but cosy with great shower en suite and I appreciated the tea/ coffee/ hot chocolate and shortbread in the room. Lovely cooked breakfast, especially the Stornoway black pudding ,and very friendly service from both Lindas. It's close to restaurants,bars etc .Great base for a trip to The Outer Hebrides.

Linda is friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel welcome, even after I accidentally tracked in sand from Luskentyre beach. Thank you, Linda!
