I am not sure what to make of the Thorlee, it as a bit of an oddity. It is a "Guest House" like no other I have visited. There are no owners who stay there, they leave your key in an envelope in the hallway but if you happen to arrive when the outer door is locked then you are... More

We stayed here for four nights in July while attending the Hebridean Celtic Festival. We had a large twin room with ensuite bathroom, which, though it faced onto a road was quite quiet, so good night sleep was not a problem. Both the room and the bathroom could have been cleaned to a higher standard. We were a little disappointed... More

Perfectly decent place - we had a good large light room with nice high ceilings and it's a food central location in Stornoway. Breakfast was in a slight 1970s diner timewarp, but otherwise ok. Main problem for us was the noise of the room - it is directly over the main harbour road and despite double glazing the room was... More

Most overpriced uncomfortable room we've stayed in. For £85 per night we did not expect what we got. No basics like shower wash, the heating was turned off until evening, the room smelled badly of the cooking fat from the cafe downstairs all day, we had to keep the extractor fan on in the bathroom constantly to try and get...

Pleasant guest house right on the harbour front above a coffee shop. The coffee shop also doubles as your breakfast room in the morning. On arrival your keys are left in an envelope in the hallway. There is a small camera on the reception desk to monitor people going in and out. Room was nicely finished and en suite. Nice... More

The outside could do with a lick of paint but with such a close seafront location it... More

A grand effort at renovation of a clearly aging structure, the location and friendly welcome made up for all slight drawbacks at this B & B. We had a wonderful view of the harbor from our room and the pleasant furnishings and excellent bathroom helped us completely ignore the sloped floor and collapsed chair legs. Very nice, right across the... More

hotel was fine, oldish, bit quirky but folk were nice. Unfortunately there was a problem where too much cash was taken off my credit card. This should have been easily and quickly sorted but it ended up taking over a month. As the time went by I was more and more convinced it wasn't a simple mistake. I also note... More
