Good B&B
We stayed a night prior to flying out of Stornoway. Nice room, decent bathroom, solid breakfast, plus a chance to eat good pub grub in the curious barn bar.

We had an overnight stay here during our recent trip to the Western Isles. The room was quite simple, as expected when we booked, but the welcome from the staff was very good.
We had dinner in the barn, good choice available and very well cooked and again, we had great service. Same again at breakfast so in all we had a great stay and can strongly recommend

Such a wonderful place to stay at what feels like the top of the Isle of Lewis (nearly is). Food was some of the best we had in three weeks of road tripping. Owners were so kind and friendly, helped us to plan to see the most things possible in one day. Highly recommend.

This is a great place to stay! It was a last minute booking for us and we wanted a nice quiet, quant little place to stay, and the Cross Inn delivered all of that and more. The Barn Bar in the back was great, and the food is amazing. The staff are great and the owner is great host and makes sure all the details are up to standard!!!

Outstanding
The Cross is an outstanding gem of a little hotel about a half hours drive north of Stornoway on the rugged and beautiful west coast. The staff are fabulous; the food fabulous and the rooms are comfortable. Leave the Stornoway hotels to their over-priced quest to city type uniformity and be part of the Cross. You won't regret it!
