We stayed at the Castlebay for two nights as part of western isles holiday for our elderly mother in law. Despite late arrival of ferry we were given personal attention by manager who ensured that Mum was able to access the hotel through side entrance to avoid the steps at front. Hospitality and personal attention were hallmarks of our stay.... more

You could spend hours watching the view from the window... more

Rooms are somewhat basic with a dated 70's/80's look but clean and comfortable. But what about the view ! On a hillside overlooking Castlebay harbour and castle.
