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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

This is a haunted hotel. We were lucky enough to have a paranormal experience the first night. Doors banging, creaking, sound of furniture being pushed around. Starting at around 1am to 5. Excorsism preformed in 1922. Next night nothing.
