Isle of Lewis Guest House Accommodation
The Isle of Lewis is the place to go if you are after a vacation with a difference. Lewis is the largest of the group of islands known as the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides of Scotland and it is where you will find the main town of, and administrative centre, Stornoway.
While Stornoway has plenty to offer the visitor, to the Outer Hebrides, there are a great many places outwith the town that merit a visit. Such places are the standing stones at Calanais (formerly known as Callanish) and the nearby broch at Dun Charlabhaigh (formerly Dun Carloway) which are amongst the most important historical sites in the islands.
Accommodation on the Isle of Lewis can vary widely in style, ranging from luxury hotels to the cottage like buildings known as blackhouses. However one thing that is always a constant is the incredible hospitality offered, for which the islands are very well known. Below is a selection of Lewis accommodation for your consideration.
