Everything about this hotel was great, apart from the cooked breakfast. The evening meal was fine. The room was clean, comfortable and well stocked with tea and coffee. The staff were lovely.The breakfast my husband had, however, consisted of a bowl of solid porridge and a burnt and greasy omelette.

Excellent place with excellent views and really REALLY nice food. Highly recommend for anyone who want to visit Lewis. The sunset over the bridge is not to be missed. Every night we were treated to a different magnificent show. The staff are beyond nice and accommodating and the b&b is super cozy and comfy.

This was an amazing place to stay. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The food was great. The atmosphere was wonderful. Loved hanging out with the local people in the evening at the bar. The hotel is about 14 years old and looks brand new. Very clean. Bed was comfortable. I also loved the big tub!

Lovely location and couldn't fault the service .however the food was so dissapointing.i had chicken in batter ( it was lovely ) I asked for chips I got wedges tastless and warm .A glass of Shiraz. This was either cheap or the bottle had been opened some time and left standing .so I decided on dessert .YUM! Rum and raised with whisky chantelly cream .there was no rum and raisen ice cream no cream it was some overbaked dry crumbly cake in a sundee glass inbetween some white ice cream ( not even vanilla) no sauce .and a couple of walnuts horrible no taste or imagination of using up a cake that had clearly gone wrong .i left the wine the wedges and the dessert .Great service from the girls I did leave a tip .as for the chef I paid £ 26 for this meal and drink .please go back to shool or mc Donald's would be a step up from this .

Just went for a quick lunch, I can't comment on the accommodation. Food was ok though not amazing, for the price I would expect more than a so-so experience.
