Cabarfeidh Hotel
Cabarfeidh Hotel descritpion
Set within in its own attractive gardens, this modern 3-star hotel is ideally located on the outskirts of Stornoway, just across the road from the golf course leading onto historic Lews Castle grounds.
Rightly known as 'Stornoway's finest hotel', the Cabarfeidh (pronounced cab-ar-fay) provides a relaxing base for both business travelers and tourists. It is also bookable for functions or meals in the Solas Restaurant.
There is a diverse range of shops, serving local and tourist needs. Visitor attractions include an excellent museum of local history, the Lewis Loom Centre where you can learn about the history of Harris Tweed and the delightful grounds of Lews Castle.
What matters so much more than bricks and mortar, though, is the warmth of the welcome you'll receive, for the Hebrides has a great tradition of hospitality.

Reviews for Cabarfeidh Hotel
Review 1：Internet provision extremely poor. Stated as free wifi but system only worked very slowly in evening and then not at all all night and morning. Cooked breakfast dry and overlooked.
Review 2：Helpful staff
Review 3：The buffet breakfast was cold, however the staff provided a freshly cooked breakfast but this was swimming in grease, not at all pleasant, we did not have the cooked breakfast again, but did enjoy the poached eggs.
Review 4：Everything except the breakfast
Review 5：the fact that the wifi only seems to work on the 2nd floor at the other end to where we were placed in room 25. Also as the shower tray flooded the bathroom due to a build up of past guests hair which had clearly not been cleaned for some time, and that there was no other room to move to late at night ..we did not get much sleep on the only night we were there before an early morning flight. ...which was the very reason we were there in the first place for...i.e. to get a good sleep before we flew.
Review 6：Hot buffet not repleneshed. Dried up scrambled egg. Food lukewarm. No hot plates, no glasses for juice
Review 7：Ambient atmosphere, cleanliness, comfortable and bright room.
Review 8：I found getting in and out of the bath for a shower quite difficult bordering on being dangerous. My long term artificial hip has little strength so could not clamber into and out of the high placed, and sided, bath without help. Surprised disability legislation does not require better access.
Review 9：Unfortunately, as we were essentially B & B residents we did not have the opportunity to make use of other facilities. Did have tea in your lounge on arrival; it was nothing special! Very happy with the room & beds; didn't try the TV! Was too tired to be disturbed by Fan outside window which went on all night.
Review 10：It was a bit shabby outside ( letters missing from hotel name etc ) . Thought that the dining menu was over priced (£34 for two courses and a drink ).
Review 11：Friendly enough staff and clean property throughout.
Review 12：yes not all parts of hotel are new i would say 10 years out of date and of course need updating but found to be very clean ( could have been a lot worse ) and if return to the island would book again .
Review 13：Staff willing to help understand with all requests 10 out of 10 for customer service . only stayed 1 night but had 2 saturday and sun eve meal great food & value .
Review 14：Over charged for the meal I had in the dining room. Toilette didn't work well. Key to room didn't work.
Review 15：Easy parking. Comfortable bed and nice complimentary toiletries. Good breakfast. Lovely fire place in the lobby.
Review 16：Small room located at end of a long corridor,was cold and musty on arrival ...during the night, I was unable leave the window open because of the excessive noise from ventilation plant..expected more considering the room rate.
Review 17：Room was clean,breakfast was satisfactory.
Review 18：The decor looked like it had not been renewed since the 1980's. Avocado colored baths with gilded hardware were in fashion when Abigail had her party. This was probably when the hotel was built. The faded gilding on the hardware revealing the brass below is a metaphor for this hotel. It needs a major refit to bring it up to date. The wi-Fi is a bit hit and miss at best.
Review 19：Food, which was of excellent quality and generous portions. The staff who were attentive, helpful and friendly. The location which allowed for a good brisk walk to the town centre via the golf course, Lews Castle grounds and the harbour.
Review 20：Room we had was clean and comfortable but could do with a bit of updating, especially the bathroom. This would not stop us returning.

Review 88：Food and overall hotel experience exellent.
Review 89：Kettle had mould around the element which was colouring the water so couldn't make tea. No extra blanket or duvet in room....room was cold (but it was a very cold night!). I'm sure that the staff could have resolved all of these issues if I'd raised it with them but I didn't need the hassle.
