    Absolutely brilliant apartment. Had everything you could ask for. A well dressed clean apartment with great facilities all round. The added extras such as toiletries, coffee and tea just made the difference. Just fantastic and cannot praise it enough. Great location near shops, restaurants, cafes, the castle, the golf club, supermarket and petrol station. Trips to Kneep and Garry beaches a must

    Keys easily accessible. Was able to get in before originally agreed checkin time. Everything needed is provided for and of good quality; very comfortable apartment. Great rain shower and lots of hot water. Host very responsive to emails. Ideal place to self cater.

    Door to parking area a bit 'sticky' so difficult to open and close likely due to rain!

    Convenient location. Walkable to shops in Stornoway and big supermarket and butchers just up the road.

    The couch! It was pretty uncomfortable. However we didn't sit on it much, too busy sightseeing!. Also a clothes airer would have been great, the weather wasn't good enough to dry washing outside 😉

    The mattress was comfortable, the shower water was hot. The apartment was roomy with most things we needed. The position of it, walking distance to town etc was fantastic! The key was where we were told it would be, easy to find. The place was spotless. We had a lovely stay.

    Weather wasn't great & with no control over the heating it did get a bit cold in there. We were also on the early Ferry so was chilly when we had to leave at 5.30am.

    Lovely bathroom & huge bed. Did have an issue with getting the key as didn't realise e-mail had been sent with amended code but Joanne was on site quickly to sort. Walk round the nearby Castle grounds was really nice.

    Lovely spacious apartment and an ideal base in Stornoway
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • One-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The apartment did smell a little musty when we first arrived, but probably just due to the nature of it being a rental apartment and not being occupied full time. My husband also badly hit his head coming in the rear entrance which is very low if you are tall. Maybe a sign for people to 'mind their head' would be useful?

    This apartment was very spacious with a large comfortable living room, with gas central heating and an electric fire which made the place nice and cosy, an equally large bedroom with comfortable bed, and large bathroom with separate bath and rain shower. The apartment was in a great location, only a 10 minute walk into the centre of Stornoway and also had free parking to the rear which was excellent. We didn't really use the kitchen, but there was a lovely box of snacks/biscuits left for us which we thought was a nice touch, and we also made use of the washing maching and washing pods which were provided which we thought was excellent. All towels/linens and bathroom products were also very much appreciated and all communications with, and instructions from, the owner, were excellent. Would recommend.

    The location was fantastic. We explored Harris and Lewis on the days we were there and then were able to leave the car at the apartment and walk into town for food and shops. The apartment was a great size for two. Very warm and comfortable. He communication between myself and host was excellent.

    I cannot really fault the accommodation or facilities supplied. Everything needed was available. Coming from a city I was a little concerned about leaving the main entrances unlocked at night. However, this is more of a reflection on aspects of modern city living in England. Stornoway is not a busy city and all the better for it.

    Clear instructions supplied in advance, which were entirely straight forward. Accessed apartment without a hitch. A reliable and failsafe method obviously used as a matter of course. Following the departure instructions enabled the next renter to access with ease

    Stripping the bed at 0430 hrs this morning so that I could catch the 0600 ferry!!!

    As we were attending Hebcelt, it made soooooo much difference to be able to enter the property straight from the ferry into Stornoway around 2pm rather than the 1630 as previously stated. Thank you!!! The key code system worked well as if the two of us Bec are separated, the key was always in the box and either one of us could let ourselves in for a cuppa or a siesta!!
