This is an expensive but good option in Stornoway. The staff were extremely helpful with late dinner arrangements which were due to a ferry cancellation.

Recent stay

Rooms were good bed were comfy. All clean. Food is expensive and not a very big range. We also ordered 2 portions of spiced onion rings. It worked out £1per onion ring and they were to spicy for any of us to even eat so they were left nearly untouched..

Top marks for Stornoway Cabarfeidh Hotel.

Great stay for music festival, situated 15 minute walk from festival site and from town centre. Great facilities with excellent breakfast and because I had a 5a.m. ferry check in on last morning I could check out & pay the afternoon before and a packed breakfast was ready for me in the early morning. Top marls all round.

We really enjoyed staying at the Cabarfeidh hotel where we stayed for 3 nights. The staff is very polite and helpful, our room was spacious and modern, 3 breakfasts and 1 dinner were great and always presented w a smile. The location is excellent- the royal gardens are just across the street and the co- op is about a 5 min walk. It is an easy walk to downtown. We would definitely come back to this hotel and recommend it highly.
