Isle of Lewis Hotel Accommodation
Lewis Hotels are renowned for being amongst the friendliest in Scotland. The culture of the Hebrides strongly values hospitality due to the fact that it was once an important part of the clan system whereby hospitality had to be offered to a visitor even if that person belonged to a clan with which they had a disagreement. Thankfully Scotland is vastly different from those hard days but the importance of hospitality remains and is most evident in hotels, guest houses and other accommodation on the islands of the Hebrides (of which Lewis is the largest).
The Isle of Lewis has a wealth of visitor attractions which together create a fantastic place in which to take a relaxing vacation. Primarily people visit Lewis to enjoy the unique Gaelic culture and the astounding, and diverse, countryside which features a number of world class beaches and rare/unique flora and fauna.
Hotels On Lewis
The Caberfeidh Hotel, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
Probably Stornoway's most well known, and widely regarded as the towns finest, hotel is the Caberfeidh Hotel situated on the Outskirts opposite the Lews Castle grounds and set back off the road. As well as offering superb accommodation and excellent cuisine the Caberfeidh also has excellent facilities for functions such as business seminars, weddings and dances. The hotel has long been the favorite venue for wedding dances and it now offers a complete wedding package. Within a few minutes drive from the town centre the Caberfeidh Hotel Stornoway is an excellent base for an Isle of Lewis vacation. Wireless Internet. No Pets Allowed.
The Royal Hotel, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
By comparing the photograph to your left with those of the Caberfeidh and Caladh you will notice how much older the Royal Hotel looks in style. The reason why the Royal Hotel looks so wonderful is the fact that it was built in the middle of the nineteenth century and has managed to retain much of it's character and retain many of it's period features (in the front facing rooms) while also offering all the modern services we should expect from such a first class hotel. Only a minute or two from the town centre and with the marina to the front this hotel is extremely popular. Of special note is the hotels cuisine served in their Boatshed Restaurant. For a more vibrant atmosphere visit their excellent HS1 cafe bar.
