Stayed for one night on business and can't speak Hulu enough of this place. Carol and Ian are such great hosts, the house is great, and we were made to feel so welcome. I would usually stay in hotels but Stornoway is not flush with comfortable establishments. Breakfast was legendary !! The rooms were huge with great facilities. Just a... More

3rd trip to Stornoway and 3rd stay at the guest house. The quality and welcome was as good as ever, the food is great and the room lovely. The views over the bay were lovely. Well done to the fantastic couple who run this wee gem of a guest house

I have stayed with Karen and Iain several times when in Stornoway for work. I would not want to stay in any other hotel or guest house - couldn't get the same personal service, food, beautiful room and fantastic view of the bay. Icing on the cake this visit was the fantastic weather and standing on the balcony at 4am... More

I have stayed with Karen & Ian twice now and both times have been blown away by the room, the view, the breakfast and most importantly the owners. I cannot recommend them or their beautiful home highly enough. Both my companion and I loved everything about our stay.

sometimes the reviews you read make you wonder if they are written by the owners or their friends - or occasionally by someone who might have a grudge against the owners. Not In this case! I cannot add to the reviews in any way. Karen and her husband made a sad occasion - we were here for a family funeral... More

This beautiful and spotlessly clean home is without doubt the best B and B that my family and I have ever stayed in. The stunning location and ever changing views that surround it are matched by the charm and character of your hosts Iain and Karen. They are a credit to themselves and this charming island and it's people. Nothing... More

Guesthouse with two spacious, well designed and comfortable rooms - each with its own balcony that looks across field towards the sea. From the balcony you can get a wonderful view into dark night sky and, when the night is clear, sit under a canopy of stars. In the background there is just the sound of sea and the wind.... More

The Solas is definately the best guest-house that we've ever stayed at. Hosts Karen and Iain could not be more hospitable--nothing is too much trouble. The room we had (balcony with sea view) was spacious and spotlessly clean. As other guests have commented, the breakfast is excellent, and sets you up for the day. We stayed five nights in order...

From being met at the airport to my leaving two days later nothing was left wanting. The best B&B room I've ever had, modern, well equipped, great view. Breakfast was top notch. Hosts did everythign they could. Very relaxed atmosphere in the house.

I stayed in the house of Caren and Ian for a longer periode and i can say without hesitation: It was always like coming home. Dont be afraid of the nearby airport! There are not many flights, and no flights at night. Enjoy the very nice rooms, excellent beds and clean bathrooms. The breakfast is also of outstanding quality, as... More
