Wonderful Stay at the “Cabar”

This is a lovely hotel. It is said to be the best on the island. Food is great. The rooms are comfortable and immaculate. Service is first rate. The manager, Marcus, is charming and informative. I would absolutely stay here again.

Recent stay

Rooms were good bed were comfy. All clean. Food is expensive and not a very big range. We also ordered 2 portions of spiced onion rings. It worked out £1per onion ring and they were to spicy for any of us to even eat so they were left nearly untouched..

We really enjoyed staying at the Cabarfeidh hotel where we stayed for 3 nights. The staff is very polite and helpful, our room was spacious and modern, 3 breakfasts and 1 dinner were great and always presented w a smile. The location is excellent- the royal gardens are just across the street and the co- op is about a 5 min walk. It is an easy walk to downtown. We would definitely come back to this hotel and recommend it highly.

Liked: Room comfort

Stornoway

On checking in I was advise that we had a twin room, I asked if this could be made into a double & was told that they had made the room up as requested, I advise that I had not requested a twin, too tied to stand my ground I accepted the room, asked about Dinner in the hotel restaurant & was advised that we could only get in after 8.45, so gave that up too, we decided to walk into town & go elsewhere. When getting to our room it had been made up as a double!!. The room was extremely tired looking & needed to be decorated. The bed was comfortable & clean. The shower was not much more than a dribble. We had booked & paid for breakfast but as we were on the first ferry we were unable to have breakfast as breakfast started over an hour later then us leaving. To sum up, if/when I return to Stornoway I will not return to this hotel.

Top marks for Stornoway Cabarfeidh Hotel.

Great stay for music festival, situated 15 minute walk from festival site and from town centre. Great facilities with excellent breakfast and because I had a 5a.m. ferry check in on last morning I could check out & pay the afternoon before and a packed breakfast was ready for me in the early morning. Top marls all round.
