Great Little Hotel Dead Center Stornoway

Fantastic host and excellent food. Could not have been more comfortable and was a perfect spot for my basecamp for exploring Harris and Lewis. Loved this place.

A general air of decay about the place

Very tired/dated hotel. Room was tiny, bed uncomfortable and there was a bad smell in the corridor.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All areas of the hotel were clean, room was spotless and comfortable. Shower wasn't great by hotel standards but adequate. Staff were all excellent, very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was great and really set us up for the day and evening menu was very varied. We ate there twice, once with 5 people, once with 3 and all had something different. Everyone really enjoyed their choices which ran from European to Indian and Chinese dishes so great consistency of quality across the menu. I would recommend the County Hotel to anyone looking for a relaxed base to explore the beautiful islands of Lewis and Harris.

4/10 Fair

The bottom of the quilt cover was all ripped up and couldn’t be buttoned up. The carpet in the hallway was damaged with a big cut through it which I tripped on when my foot slipped through it while walking to my room. There was a ‘private bathroom’ (staff only maybe?) outside my room where somebody was loudly doing some kind of maintenance work until about midnight. You can hear everything going on in the rooms around you including talking, snoring and bathroom usage. The TV remote was barely responsive (it wasn’t the batteries as I also tried with my own new batteries). The first morning I woke up to this really intense smell of Indian food, I guess they were preparing dishes but the smell was so strong on the floor I was staying on that I had to open my room window. The second morning I was woken by somebody trying to get into my room until I called out that I was inside, I assume it was staff trying to reset the room without realising I hadn’t checked out yet. The private parking is a small area of gravel behind the hotel between their bins and the laundry area of the hostel next door which didn’t feel secure or private. The two nights cost me 300 pounds which was $623 Australian dollars. For comparison, I could stay in the Hilton Hotel in Sydney’s city centre for three nights for around the same cost.

Glad to Have a Room

The location near the ferry in Stornaway was great. The hotel itself is very dated and in need of renovation. The stairwell smelled STRONGLY of cat urine. Our room didn’t have working heat, and when we asked, we were given a space heater with the warning that “it tends to melt” and to turn it off before leaving the room or when sleeping because they “didn’t want the hotel to burn down.” That said, it was the last room left in town and we were grateful to get it!

2/10 Poor

Not to be recommended I’m afraid

We were very disappointed right from entering the hotel. Furniture was disgraceful all worn and basically done ready for the tip. Would certainly not recommend and the rate per night was outrageous for the state of the hotel. Staff were nice and breakfast was reasonable. Sorry probably one of the worst hotels I have stayed in for £204 per night for 2 night.
Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Friendly staff. The rooms are meant to be cleaned every second day but mine wasn't touched in the five nights I was there and I had to ask for another towel, as I'd put my damp towel on the floor as one usually does. What I didn't like was Expedia not the hotel, for Expedia charged me 2/3 of the cost when I booked but didn't pass this on to the owner of the hotel. I can't check my credit card statement until I get back home mid-May, so don't know if I've been double charged!
Margaret, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

We actually didn’t end up staying after viewing the room. It was fairly run down and not as expected based on the reviews we had seen. It was clean and the management was friendly and accommodating. We insisted on paying a default penalty as we felt bad about our poor choice. Just not for us. We were able to find alternative accommodation out of the town center that suited us better. It was more expensive.

10/10 Exceptional

We absolutely loved the County Hotel. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring Stornoway which is a small and walkable town. The staff were extremely kind, courteous and helpful - really friendly and full of excellent advice, going the extra mile. Sunday in Stornoway is very special and there is not much open but the hotel continued to provide breakfast and refreshments throughout the day and facilities for having a take away as well as advice where to find one. There were alternative venues for dinner nearby and we were pleased to see the staff get a rest on the all important Lord's Day. Parking is one issue as it is not clear if parking restrictions will be enforced on the street and there is only a small car park. While it is possible to have a car and stay at this hotel, it is probably most convenient for foot passengers.
