Customer Reviews
Truly a wonderful experience. Service was outstanding, friendly staff always present as required. The location is excellent with a scenic woodland walk into town for dinner and centrally located on Lewis for hiking and exploring. The building itself and the rooms were beautifully done (we stayed in the sunlight room). A luxurious bath with some whiskey tasters we brought along was certainly a highlight. The attached museum is also very informative for anyone wanting to learn about the island’s history or emigration history from the region. The ladies there were incredibly knowledgeable and keen to help with any questions we had. Our thanks to all the staff and museum employees for a lovely stay!
Stayed here for two nights on Stornaway. A little separated from the rest of town it is connected by a short but lovely walk through the grounds. The rooms are spacious and well furnished. Breakfast is not included but there is a cafe on the ground floor open most days. Parking is plentiful. The castle itself is beautiful inside and out. It's lit up nicely at night making a good beacon to walk home from one of the many good restaurants nearby. It also doubles as an event, including weddings, and the rooms used are gorgeous.
We walked to the Lews Castle from Stornoway and spent longer there than we had intended walking around the vast gardens. The Castle was setting up for a wedding so we had a quick look inside. It looked very nice with huge rooms. The grounds are extensive and really well maintained for their size. Highly recommend visiting.
