Jim was an outstanding host and looked after me and my girlfriend during our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was hearty and cooked perfectly and the hotel is a short walk into the heart of Stornoway.

Excellent host and great location

Ideal for tourists to have the best rest after their daily sightseeing or trip around the isle. Spotless clean white beddings and towels, and white tablecloths in the dining room as well - that is not common and shows well, that the guests are very welcomed and respected here. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Just an example, on the first morning we went for the breakfast very early, so had to wait a few minutes with a fantastic coffee, but the next morning our delicious breakfast was ready for that time. 
Location is good, only a short walk to the ferry, bus station or town centre.

Homelike guesthouse with nice owners

For the solo cyclist this accommodation is close to the main Stornoway shopping area and about 20-25 mins walk from the Lewis Castle estate.  The accommodation is also not very far from the Stornoway ferry to Ullapool.
The room was comfortable, without having been recently refurbished as  other properties across the Outer Hebrides have been.  I didn't feel cold in the room and owing to a bout of my IBS - NOT caused by the guest house - I was awake and out of bed for a siginificant portion of the night.  The shower space and shower are good, but shared.  The toilet also.  The dog is intermittanly vocal, but kept apart from the guests, whom I am sure it gives notice of, but with whom I am sure it would prefer to be involved.  This being essentially a B&B, your dinner will be out.  Stornoway, though, has a number of what I believe are good eateries.  There are also a Co-Op and Tesco nearby.    

Good accommodation for the leg weary cyclist at the end of their Heb Way.

We had just finished cycling the Hebidean Way and this was our overnight stop on the way back.
Instructions left at the front door for us and the room was fine with a large shower room.
We were leaving early so didn't have breakfast but the owner made us a packed lunch

Overnight stop

Jim the owner of this lovely bed and breakfast, is really nice, very knowledgeable about area. breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Very quaint lounge area to eat, with gorgeous views
Our room was spotlessly clean, fresh towels every day,lovely view but one problem, my husband is 6'2" and the single bed was far too small for him, and very uncomfortable. We also had a shared bathroom, which we didnt realise at the time of booking.
The town is only a 10 minute walk away
If there are double rooms with en suite in this bed and breakfast, Im sure the stay would be more enjoyable

Good location

3 night stay. Great location and views of the bay were stunning. Scotsman Jim shared his local knowledge and happily talk about his hobbies, always had time to chat. The huge telescope in lounge was set up to see the dolphins that follow the ferry coming to the island. 
Good Scotish breakfast by Inga also cerals, fruit and juice. Offered free tea/coffee flask and fruit when going out for the day. On our day of leaving on the early ferry bacon sandwich, fruit, shortcake and can of orange was given to us on leaving. 
Yes we shared a bathroom, no big deal. WiFi good. Would recommend and hope to return soon thanks Michelle and David


Great views of the bay, 5 mins from ferry

I stayed at the begin and end of my journey Lewis and Harris at this B&B.
It has a beautiful view and if you have the room with balcony (I had the first night) you have a real perfect awakening: you have a view at the bay and sea!
The breakfast is supreme!

Perfect location while traveling through the Hebrides

We stayed two nights at Sandwick Bay B&B during our trip with Rabbie´s - Outer Hebrides & Skye Adventure Tour. We made the booking via Rabbie´s and the first impression got us confused. The owner Jim didn´t have us as guests on his list but after some checking he found the booking from Rabbie´s and we were given a Twin with shared bathroom in the hallway. The downside of shared bathroom was that there were many rooms that shared two bathrooms.
The twin room had great view but the room have a sence of hostel feeling over it. The windows couldn´t open and the door was superhard to open and the lock was hard to understand. The beds were a bit to hard but that is a matter of personal opinion. Back to the bathroom on the upper floor, it had a blue wall-to-wall carpet! In 2022 we do think this is so out of fashion and that bathroom really needs an upgrading TLC. We filled out a form regarding the breakfast and it was a typical Scottish breakfast. Sandwick Bay B&B is a 20 minutes walk to Stornoway ferry terminal. There is a local Tesco 10 in minutes walk from the B&B. Jim the owner was friendly and shared our passion regarding photography.

A feeling of a Hostel accommodation

Great views and friendly owner. 

Good place to store bikes and packed breakfast as we were leaving early on the ferry. 

Let down by lack of en suite and having to share one toilet/ shower amongst four of us  - think we must have had the non refurbished rooms as they were pretty basic and we had trouble opening\ locking the one door (number 7).  In summary make sure you are staying in the refurbished en suite rooms.

Good location, friendly owner but basic rooms.

Dog and smoke smell on entering
Uncomfortable room with badly fitting window (wind blew through when closed)
View of grim backyard with dog kennel and waste ground beyond
Broken / missing downpipe outside meant rain water dripped and splashed noisily all night
Shower screen came off runners
Clean enough and pleasant owner but really NOT as described and seriously over-priced.
