The properties sit on the edge of Stornoway, and are only a short walk into the main town centre. Stornoway is the ideal base from which to visit the many Lewis and Harris beaches and to enjoy the wildlife, history and culture of the Hebrides. Our lodges provide a quiet, comfortable retreat to return to after a day exploring all that the island has to offer.
Among the must-see visitor attractions are the recently renovated Lews Castle, the most iconic building in the Western Isles, and the Museum Nan Eilean, which is set in the castle grounds. Here you can learn about the history of the Outer Hebrides, shaped by a unique combination of land, sea and people.

This property is named after the SS Metagama, which took 300 islanders off to the USA and Canada in 1923. The open-plan living space is flooded with light from the patio doors and cathedral ceilings, creating an inviting and relaxing space. All fixtures and fittings are of the highest standard and guests can also enjoy the IR sauna and Jacuzzi bath.
Iolaire Lodge is particularly suitable for romantic breaks and honeymoon couples. The lodge offers a great space in which to relax and recharge. As well as a fully equipped kitchen, spacious open-plan lounge and dining area with cathedral ceilings, it boasts an IR sauna and Jacuzzi bath with mood lighting.
Fresh air and clean water, combined with traditional farming practices mean that our restaurants have access to some of the world's finest ingredients. The Royal Hotel in the centre of Stornoway offers two dining options - the vibrant, contemporary atmosphere of HS1 and the creative cuisine of the Boatshed Restaurant.
The coastal areas of the Outer Hebrides provide countless opportunities for sports and adventure. From surfing to sailing, there is something for everyone to do, with the backdrop of the islands' spectacular scenery. Walking around the Outer Hebrides provides an opportunity to see the unspoilt beauty of Europe's hidden gem.
All houses have washing machines and outside rotary dryers or clothes poles. Several washing tablets are left for guests. All have a tumble drier which we ask guests to use sparingly, for a final "fluffing up" only. We offer a wash, dry and ironing service separately if required. They must remain out of the bedrooms and in public areas only.

Both Ann and Alan went out their way to make us feel welcome and valued and we can't thank them enough. I highly recommend Hebridean Luxury Holidays. The accomodation was amazing and located perfectly for exploring. Even when it wasn't exploring weather we didn't mind staying in the lodge for the day just relaxing - it was so comfy and has absolutely everything you would need. We really didn't want to come home. On the last night of our stay we booked up again for next year. Can't wait to return.
