This comfortable hotel is only two or three minutes walk from Stornoway town centre, where you'll find a selection of independently owned shops, as well as a sprinkling of multiples. 

Although not particularly large by mainland standards (69 rooms), the Caladh Inn is the largest hotel in the Outer Hebrides and is frequently praised by guests for the friendly, hospitable service provided by its staff. 

Dinner and lunch in Eleven, the hotel's  bright, modern bar restaurant, is popular with local residents, as well as hotel guests. You can enjoy carvery/buffet style meals and choices from an impressive a la carte menu.  In particular, Chef's Seafood Special is a treat worth exploring.

With Stornoway's airport being just 10 minutes drive, this is an excellent choice of hotel for Flydrive visitors.  

Comprehensive leisure facilities, including swimming pool are available directly opposite the hotel, at the Lewis Sports Centre. (Information link)

A good starting point for a circular tour of Lewis by car, the hotel is also within easy walk of a number of fascinating explorations within Stornoway itself.  These include walks through the Castle Grounds and and the gorge-like valley of the River Creed, a fine museum, which portrays the development of the Hebridean population, and excellent arts centre (An Lanntair) and the Lewis Loom Centre, where the Harris Tweed industry is documented and you can buy cloth and finished Harris Tweed products.

Suggestion

Drive the length of the road to Tolsta (Tolstadh), stopping off at the various sandy beaches you will see along the way.  On reaching Tolsta, continue through the village onto a single track road that leads to Traigh Mhor ('the big beach') - more than a mile of wonderful sandy strand, then visit Traigh Ghearadha, further around the headland.
