Stayed at the Gallan Head for one night but what a great place. Bedroom slightly spartan and bed a little hard but it was fine. The stunning location and remoteness, the genuine hospitality of the lovely hosts and the MOST FANTASTIC food more than made up for it. It stands out as one of the best stays we have ever... More

Reviews are very mixed on this property and to no surprise. The rooms are very small but ours was warm, which is important. It serves its purpose and being in a former RAF buliding they probably made the best out of it. It is not what we would call a cozy or romantic room, so it does not get the... More

We had a lovely two day stay at the hotel but were dismayed to be told at breakfast on our last day that we were the very last customers as Andy is selling up. So, someone, please buy this hotel quick so that others can enjoy the unique experience it offers. The setting is breath-taking - the hotel is on... More

Lovely stay, great food, great views, nothing too much trouble from the owner. Pity we missed the basking sharks by a couple of hours. More

The staff and service overall was nice. The dining area was lovely and the food delicious. The room was a bit stark although very clean. We found the room to be somewhat over-priced but the food made up for that!!! The place is very much off the beaten path so would only recommend to someone who is prepared for something... More

My wife and I went to Gallan Head for a wee break away from the kids, and for my wife's birthday. Lovely wee drive to the restaurant, passing through what has to be one of the most beautiful areas of the island...Uig is beautiful in the rain/sun/storm (delete as appropriate). Numerous beaches within minutes drive. Even the village you pass... More

We didnt stay at Gallan head but we did eat there. The range of choices was good and the food was fine. Extra charge for vegetables could maybe be dropped in future to make a better experience. Food could be seasoned better, I had the special steak and it was OK. It was all good but not exceptional and there... More

One of the highlights of our Scotland trip! Lewis is a really special place, and so is the Gallan Head. The food is absolutely stunning, and the rooms in the former RAF barracks are surprisingly comfy. Staff was very warm and welcoming. We absolutely loved it! More
