We received a warm welcome from a fairly young couple at this pleasant B&B, and they immediately made a restaurant reservation for us. Our room (they have 2) was large and comfortable, though a little stuffy, as they had been unable to open the patio doors (no windows) due to windy weather. The room was well furnished and decorated to a high standard. The huge bathroom was hidden behind closet doors. The bathroom had ample supplies of toiletries, but the exhaust fan was not working.

Plenty of tea, coffee shortbread and chocolates were on offer in the room. The house is well planned and the 2 guest rooms were well separated, and a private deck is outside each guest room. While the airport can be noisy during the day, it was closed at night, and it did not present any problems for us. It opens at 6:30 am but if the patio doors are shut, there is no noise.

The traditional and excellent breakfast was offered, including fruit and yogurt, served in quality surroundings. The B&B is close to the ferry, and is a short distance from Stornoway. Recommended

This is the third visit to Solas and this is without doubt one of the very best B&Bs in Britain. Iaan and Caren are marvelous hosts (best porridge we have ever tasted),the rooms are immaculate and the views are glorious and the sunsets superb, cannot wait to go back.

Outstanding stay. Ian & Karen are first class hosts and provide the best breakfasts on the island - stayed at many other BB whilst on Harris & Lewis and Ian's breakfast especially his black pudding won by a mile. Our room was very spacious, spotless and comfortable. Would certainly stay here again if returning to Lewis. Loved the view from the balcony. Thank you for an excellent stay.

We stayed at the Solar during the Easter holiday and it is fair to say this is an exceptional guest house. It is extremely convenient to the Airport and we were given a very warm welcome by the owners, Ian and Karen and shown through the their beautiful home to our room that was as breathtaking as the views from the balcony.
Ian's breakfast was to die for and we were sad that we were only staying one night.

It is also fair to say that the hosts instinctively know when to welcome and chat and when to leave you in peace.

We would not hesitate to stay there again or throughly recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful part of the world

Room tip: There are only two rooms, and I'm sure the other room was of an equally high standard

B & B does not come better than this!
Karen and Ian are the perfect hosts - warm, welcoming and so friendly and their house is stunning. Beautifully equipped in a stunning location with panoramic views from the bedroom balconies.
But what makes it truly special are the hosts - they could not have been nicer and went out of their way to make our stay special.
