“Top class B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

On our first trip to the Hebrides, we stayed at Crowberry which we picked purely from Trip Advisor reviews. It is the best B & B we have ever stayed in with great attention to detail and personal touches, which puts it way above anywhere else we have ever stayed. The staff were lovely, they gave excellent service, nothing was too much trouble and the breakfasts were superb. The room we stayed in, Glamour, was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, we had 3 wonderful night's sleep, we didn't want to leave and wish we had stayed for all our holiday. Alistair and Lisa, the owners were very friendly, they were very helpful and informative about the island, it was lovely to chat to them. I would certainly recommend Crowberry to anyone and look forward to another stay there in the future.

“So happy to see this sort of quality accomodation on the isles”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2010

Excellent - right from the friendly greeting to the efficient check out. The location is good if you want to be guaranteed the quietness of being out of town. Lovely house, quality decor and fixtures. Friendly hosts and staff. Excellent choice and quality of breakfast including the best of available local produce.
This is the sort of accomodation that is needed in the islands. Best of all it is owned and run by islanders, where a lot of investment in the past has been by far sighted incomers.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Crowberry.

“Hidden Hebridean Treasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2010

Lisa and Alasdair had a very warm welcome. The room 'Country Chic' was fantastic. The deisgn and quality was that of a boutique hotel if not better The bed was so comfortable like sleeping in a large warm cloud. They even had a box of items you may have forgotten to pack and extras like a dental repair kit, nail,varnish remover tissues, midge repellant etc.
Breakfast was superb, a good selection of cereals with strawberries, brambles, blueberries, crusty bread, melon and ham, juices and cooked food. The porridge was served with thick cream and all this in the coservaory dining room with splendid views and binoculars to scan the countryside.Lovelly friendly morning taff, Sharong, Ella and Sarah and their daughter Kimberley Jane brought us toast before heading off to school.
Coco and Ronnie, the chocolate labradors were also friendly and made up for missing our own dogs at home.
A really wonderful place to stay, warm welcome, comfortable rooms, delicious food. Paradise on Lewis!

“Fantastic Hotel in a beautiful location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2010

Crowberry is a gem of a hotel, just 10 minutes north of Stornoway. We were made very welcome by the owners Lisa and Alistair, and all the other staff were lovely too - nothing was too much trouble. Our room was very smart and clean and the bedding was fabulous! We stayed in the "Terrific" room, and it was!

Breakfast was delicious every mornng (we stayed three nights), with everything from cereals to the full cooked breakfast on offer.

Our only comment, and its not necessarily a negative one, would be that our room was up a spiral staircase (2 of the rooms are). This was absolutely fine for us, but as both of us know people who wouldn't be able to cope with that, we feel it would be helpful to mention this on the website (unless it is and we've missed it?)

Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and feel that we got good value for money. It really made the holiday. If we ever went back to Lewis, we'd definitely stay again.
