The Crown Inn

Almost everything. To get the one negative thing out of the way at the beginning. It was a single room and is exactly that. There’s not much room to swing a cat. But… everything else about this hotel is excellent. The most impressive thing is the staff group. Not only are they very able and kind individually but they also worked together as a team. I was travelling alone (apart from my little dog) having very recently lost my wife. Still quite raw I explained to my waiter, when I first arrived, why I was in the Outer Hebrides. His kindness and that of his colleagues helped me adjust to this new normal. The hotel bar is well appointed and is the only place on the island (I believe) that sells hand pulled cask beer. In all I ate the hotel six times (although I didn’t stay at the hotel the following weekend I ate there) and on each occasion the food was exceptional. It was in many ways better than food being served at four star hotels on the island. I would like to thank all the staff for their kindness and consideration but particularly Peter who went over and beyond what could be expected of him.

As above.

Excellent location. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms.

Good location, clean (though rather small room). Evening meal in the restaurant was excellent!!

Room was rather small.

Handy location in Stornoway
