Linda was very helpful, we lived meeting her! She suggested a great restaurant for dinner and we were so happy for it.
Our room was clean and comfortable with a nice view of the street below and park across. The room was very large with a separate loveseat to sit on and relax.
Breakfast was great and the serving team was lovely.

Very friendly owner and staff. Plentiful on-street parking and only ten minutes walk from town centre with its shops, restaurants and pubs. Convenient to walk to the castle and its grounds. Freshly cooked breakfast. I was in a top floor room with cam ceilings which was fine for me but this, and the small shower room, might not be for larger people.

The bathroom was newly renovated and the tiles and fixtures are top quality--best shower in Scotland!
Well stocked coffee & tea station--specialty herbal teas and hot coco!
Breakfast was delicious with a multitude of options. If you want porridge order the night before.
It is a bit out of the center but very walkable. Great 3-day stay! Will definitely return!!!

Room five

Conveniently located close to a filling station (glad we remembered that it is closed on Sundays) and free street parking (don't park on the car park just behind the property). Excellent breakfast, all though I wish there could have been a wee bit extended breakfast hours on the weekend. Short walk to the town centre for some restaurants and pubs open late also. Room was fine, it seems the bathroom has been added quite recently, in stead of a wardrobe, but it works (only on the small side, but no problem for us).

Very handy hotel for centre of Stornoway. Parking is on street, but was available. Owner was very welcoming. Multi-tasking as I arrived due to power cut that affected whole town. The town is a flat 10 min walk. Room was comfortable and quiet. Mine overlooked the local garage!. Breakfast came quickly and was very generous. Its a large table arrangement, which I liked as it encourages talking to other guests. If you change credit cards between making reservation and staying, do make this clear to the owner as they automatically charge the original card otherwise. Looking forward to staying again if in the area.

Don't expect much

The staff members were often not around to help the guests. The breakfast room is very small, so it's best to arrive early to get a spot. The scrambled eggs were hard and rubbery.

The wifi did not work, and we stayed for two nights. I was particularly disappointed in this, as I missed an important email during our stay. The network name was not clear at all, anyway. The tv quality was very poor.

The carpets looked old, but at least the place looked clean. It's okay for a place to stay, but it is not great.

Do not have high expectations for this place if you decide to stay here. I've had much better experiences in other guest houses. For the price that we paid, I expected more.

This guest house was excellent in most respects. The position is very handy for the town centre and also just across the road from the castle grounds (lovely walks and 2 coffee shops) Breakfast was delicious and served very promptly.
Only niggles: room was tiny, wall- mounted TV was too high and awkwardly angled making viewing uncomfortable, and the only seat was a stool - I'd have found a chair with a back much more comfortable.
But over-all, very good value and a happy 4 nights' stay!

Ordinary Guest House

Welcome wasn't overly professional.

Room was very small and tired looking - large dead moth in drawer didn't help. Light bulb broken in bedside table lamp - got a replacement and landlady said fitting was faulty and the lamp would come on and off spontaneously - which it did. Only way to switch it off was to unplug it. No idea why owner hadn't fixed this for future guests,

Breakfast was as expected for a Hebridean guest house - hearty.

Overall, a pretty bland experience for the price paid and overpriced compared to the other guest houses we have stayed in across the Hebrides.

Tight quarters, but a delightful place to stay

The Hebridean Guest House is a country inn in the centre of Stornoway -- a short walk from the harbour, and the Castle with its new museum wing. The manager and staff greeted us like family and our room, while \"cozy\", was clean and comfortable, although us bigger folk had to squeeze a bit in the shower. The highlight was the excellent breakfast which featured everything from Stornoway black pudding to Scottish porridge (order a day ahead as it must be soaked overnight). The only issue we had was that we were on the \"top\" floor, up two flights of stairs, so anyone with knee problems or large luggage might have some minor discomfort. That said, the man with the arthritic knees did his best. And the wifi, with repeaters on every floor, was excellent on all our devices.

Everything was average in terms of reception, location, cleanliness, and breakfast. However, although the bathroom was spacious, the room was very small and even though they advertise having free wifi, if you're in a room We were in, you will not get wifi. The server at breakfast told us the wifi reception on our floor doesn't work because of the size and composition of the walls. The hallway on our floor had a wifi extender, but it made no difference. If you don't rely on wifi, it shouldn't matter, but we rely on it extensively when we travel in order to plan our day.
