The Cabarfeidh was built in the 1970s and is generally considered to be the most prestigious hotel on the Isle of Lewis. Set in extensive gardens, which are especially attractive in the summer months, the hotel  has 46 bedrooms, which have been the subject of a recent, thorough, refurbishment programme.  Most bathrooms have been completely renewed, wood finishes restored, modern lighting installed and delightful fabrics used to complete the transformation. 

On the ground floor the original restaurant has been completely redesigned with a contemporary cafe, brasserie and fine dining area, named Solas (Gaelic for 'light').  Here, you can enjoy the superb food that persuaded a Scotsman journalist to entitle her review, "a meal to lift your spirits."

Stornoway Golf Club, is just across the road from the hotel and a delightful walk around its edge, passing the restored water wheel,  which now provides eco-friendly electrical  energy for the extensive Castle Grounds. 

The town centre is about 15 minutes walk, much of which is alongside the picturesque inner harbour area and marina areas, with views across to Lews Castle. In the centre you will find the museum, arts centre (An Lanntair), gift shops and the Lewis Loom Centre.

Suggestion

Imagine the romance of a wedding held in the magical setting of a Hebridean beach, or among the mystical Callanish stones. We can help organise the complete event (with a 'bad weather fallback' to the Cabarfeidh, which is licensed for weddings) followed by a magnificent reception at the Cabarfeidh.  Then as many guests as wish could complete a Hebridean Hopscotch holiday.
