Accommodation

The Hal 'o' the Wynd is a large, white painted, three storey building dating back some three hundred plus years and has a lot of historical interest. The building is located opposite the ferry terminal and across the road from the vehicle entrance and exit of the terminal on Newton Street, Stornoway.

Newton Street was once known as "Captains Row" and is mentioned in the book - "A shilling for your scowl" - the history of a Scottish legal mafia by James Shaw Grant.

The house has three large ensuite and two large standard bedrooms. All rooms have a sea view and panoramic views of Lews Castle grounds and beyond to Arnish point. It also has a well laid out dining room.

All rooms are centrally heated with individual thermostatic control; and also have colour text televisions, tea and coffee making facilities.

The town centre is just a few minutes walk, where you will find the bus station - which boasts an excellent service to all major attractions on the island. The Western Isles tourist office is located on Cromwell Street in the centre of Stornoway, where you can find information on all the local events and festivals, tours, etc. There are local car hire firms which can be booked from the guest house and delivered to the door, we can also arrange for guided tours of the island.

The Hal 'o' the Wynd has a nice private rear garden which you may use for a barbecue to taste our local fresh seafood, perhaps with a bottle of fine wine.

Whatever you decide to do on your holiday, we will try to make it a pleasant and happy one to remember and hope you enjoy your stay with us.
