Found on the periphery of Europe out in the north Atlantic ocean, off the west coast of Scotland, the Western Isles is a collection of over two hundred islands. Once many of these islands held small population but today only a small handful remain populated with the most densely populated, and largest, island being the Isle of Lewis. The main bulk of the population is found in the areas main town of Stornoway which serves as the main administrative center.
At one time Stornoway was one of the busiest fishing ports in Europe but the fishing industry fell into sharp decline after the First World War. The fishing industry had brought the town to life and a small, but highly active, fishing fleet still works from Stornoway. With the fishing boats adding a great deal of interest to an otherwise ordinary highland town Stornoway is considered one of the best places to stay in the Western Isles. Below is an introduction to some of the bed and breakfast accommodation available in the town of Stornoway. The Caberfeidh Hotel has a long held reputation for being Stornoway's finest hotel. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of town opposite the Lews Castle grounds on the road that heads over to the Isle of Harris. Steornabhagh's oldest hotel, the Royal Hotel, first opened to the public in 1850. Situated right in the center of the town, the Royal has managed to maintain much of it's unique character while also managing to keep up to date offering modern high standard accommodation. The Caladh Inn is the town's largest hotel with the most number of rooms. The Caladh Inn can be found a few minutes from the town center on the road out to Stornoway airport. Being so centrally located the Caladh Inn is popular with both tourists and business travelers. The 4 star Holm View Guest House can be found roughly fifteen minutes drive from the town center of Stornoway. A quick read of the many positive reviews will show you that the reputation of Holm View is superb with mention made of the luxurious accommodation and friendly hospitality. Bed and breakfast is also available in their Holm View Cottage. The Thorlee Guest House is one of the most popular in Stornoway due to it's competitive pricing and it's most central location. The 3 star Thorlee may not be the most luxurious but it is certainly the most affordable accommodation available in Stornoway and a fine alternative to the much more expensive hotel accommodation.
