Stornoway: Gateway to the Outer Hebrides' Soul

Stornoway serves as the main settlement and port on the Isle of Lewis, offering a gateway to the Outer Hebrides. It’s a hub of island life, known for its strong Gaelic culture and as the birthplace of Harris Tweed, with numerous local producers continuing the tradition. The town’s harbour is a focal point, bustling with fishing boats and ferries connecting the islands to the mainland.

Visitors often explore Lews Castle, a magnificent Victorian edifice now housing a museum and archives, set within extensive grounds perfect for a walk. The town centre provides various shops, eateries, and a chance to experience the island's rhythm. Don't miss sampling Stornoway Black Pudding, a culinary speciality protected by geographical indication, widely available from local butchers.

Where to book your hotel in Stornoway

For accommodation in Stornoway, the area immediately around the harbour is often the most practical choice for many visitors. This central location provides easy access to local amenities and onward travel.

The town centre itself, primarily around North Beach and Cromwell Street, offers a selection of hotels and guesthouses. Here, you'll find places like the Stornoway Town Hall, An Lanntair arts centre, and a variety of eateries, including fine dining at The Boatshed Restaurant and casual options like HS-1 Café Bar. Staying in this area means you're just a short walk from the ferry terminal and local shops.

Moving slightly inland from the harbour, towards Matheson Road and Springfield Road, there are often more bed and breakfast establishments and self-catering apartments. This slightly quieter residential feel still keeps you within a reasonable distance of the town's conveniences. The Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle is accessible from this part of town, offering insight into island history, and you can enjoy walks within the extensive castle grounds.

For those preferring a more secluded experience, some guesthouses and cottages are available on the outskirts, such as towards the road leading to Point or along the coast road towards Melbost. These locations offer a peaceful setting, often with views, but typically require a car for easy access to town facilities and attractions like the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse, further north on the island.

Booking a hotel in Stornoway should take transport into account. The Stornoway Airport (SYY) is just a few miles from the town centre, making transfers straightforward by taxi or local bus service. The ferry terminal, serving connections to the mainland via Ullapool, is centrally located, so choosing accommodation near the harbour can simplify arrivals and departures, whether you're bringing a car or travelling on foot.

Find the best hotel deals in Stornoway

Securing a good hotel deal in Stornoway often means timing your visit wisely. Accommodation prices tend to be higher during the summer months, particularly from June to August, when the weather is at its best and tourist numbers peak. The annual HebCelt Festival, usually held in July, also sees a significant surge in demand, pushing hotel rates up considerably. To find more economical options, consider travelling during the shoulder seasons, such as April, May, September, or October.

Alternatively, the winter months, from November to March, generally offer the lowest prices as visitor numbers decrease. Booking well in advance, especially if your travel dates coincide with local events or school holidays, can also help you secure better rates. Looking at options slightly outside the town centre, or considering guesthouses and B&Bs, might also present more budget-friendly choices compared to larger hotels.
