Sandwick Bay Guest House

Sandwick Bay Guest House

📍 30 Millar Rd, Stornoway
★★ 6.9 (22 reviews)

"For the solo cyclist this accommodation is close to the main Stornoway shopping area and about 20-25 mins walk from the Lewis Castle estate. The accommodation is also not very far from the Stornoway ferry to Ullapool. The room was comfortable, without having been recently refurbished as other properties across the Outer Hebrides have been. I didn't feel cold in the room and owing to a bout of my IBS - NOT caused by the guest house - I was awake and out of bed for a siginificant portion of the night. The shower space and shower are good, but shared. The toilet also. The dog is intermittanly vocal, but kept apart from the guests, whom I am sure it gives notice of, but with whom I am sure it would prefer to be involved. This being essentially a B&B, your dinner will be out. Stornoway, though, has a number of what I believe are good eateries. There are also a Co-Op and Tesco nearby. "

Sandwick Bay Guest House ★★
"Shocked that this type of place not only still exists but also can charge these exorbitantly high prices. Our room was the only one with en suite (room 9). The establishment smelled of maybe animals (2 cats, 2 dogs) or cigarettes or any other unpleasant odours you can think of.....breakfast had to be chosen the night before, along with time, we were there on time and was immediately served on a cold plate, a luke warm selection. Property very tired but our room was clean enough. Would not recommend but as we found out, you are not spoiled for choice in Stornoway but we will not be back! "

Royal Hotel ★★★
"The room was small but well-equipped, and it was about a 10-15 minute walk from the cruise ship pier. The castle and museum were just across the river; after crossing the bridge and climbing up the slope, you could reach them. The restaurant downstairs was highly recommended."

Hebridean Guest House ★★★★
"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."

County Hotel ★★★
"We were booked as part of a tour group with Scotland’s Wild’s and boy I wish we didn’t. The hotel looked nice and that was about it. The water pressure was horrible in the shower, a highland cows spit would be better water pressure, the floor was slanted, the bed was SO WORN in that my wife and I sank in, let alone it was only a small full for two people. The windows had to be jammed open and shut. Don’t even bother trying to get food in the kitchen for breakfast which mind you doesn’t start until 8:30. My wife and I ordered our breakfast and it never came in an hour and we had to just leave empty stomached for our tour. The one bright spot is the nice young lady who helped me with laundry service as we were multiple days in the tour. Location was also good. But if you’re looking for a good bed, with a nice shower and a good nights sleep then this place is not for you."
