Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We absolutely loved the County Hotel. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring Stornoway which is a small and walkable town. The staff were extremely kind, courteous and helpful - really friendly and full of excellent advice, going the extra mile. Sunday in Stornoway is very special and there is not much open but the hotel continued to provide breakfast and refreshments throughout the day and facilities for having a take away as well as advice where to find one. There were alternative venues for dinner nearby and we were pleased to see the staff get a rest on the all important Lord's Day. Parking is one issue as it is not clear if parking restrictions will be enforced on the street and there is only a small car park. While it is possible to have a car and stay at this hotel, it is probably most convenient for foot passengers.

Not to be recommended I’m afraid
We were very disappointed right from entering the hotel. Furniture was disgraceful all worn and basically done ready for the tip. Would certainly not recommend and the rate per night was outrageous for the state of the hotel. Staff were nice and breakfast was reasonable. Sorry probably one of the worst hotels I have stayed in for £204 per night for 2 night.

We actually didn’t end up staying after viewing the room. It was fairly run down and not as expected based on the reviews we had seen. It was clean and the management was friendly and accommodating. We insisted on paying a default penalty as we felt bad about our poor choice. Just not for us. We were able to find alternative accommodation out of the town center that suited us better. It was more expensive.
