Castle View Stornoway

We were pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness of the accommodation and it was spotless. Communication by SMS with Fiona, the host, around arrival and departure was excellent. She had provided a welcome pint of milk and some biscuits. A very nice gesture. Reading the guest book, it looks like the place has been visited by many people over the years, with many of them returning again and again and delighted with the place. The maisonette overlooks the harbour and is within walking distance of all facilities in Stornaway (shops, cafes, art centre etc). Good kitchen facilities although the cabinet doors will require attention soon as they are delaminating. We had no problem (end of April / beginning of May) parking on the street outside the accommodation every night.

As we were on an extended trip, we had to do some laundry (which we did at the flat) but there was no clothes horse to dry our load. We took it to a local launderette to use their driers. It is a minor point though.

This is one of the best presented apartments we have stayed in during many holidays. Great host, informative but unseen. Facilities excellent, just note the stairs . View is in the name.

Die Unterkunft war gemütlich und komfortabel. Die zentrale Lage und die tolle Aussicht auf den Hafen waren topp. Dort waren neben unzähligen Möwen und Fischerbooten auch Kegelrobben zu sehen. Gleich bei der Unterkunft gab es 2-3 Pubs und viele Einkaufsgeschäfte.

Location, clean, spacious and well equipped.
