The County Hotel made us feel welcome. In our stay over two nights they provided two meals - an excellent & unique curry on one night. Another benefit was they served food on Sunday - which is a big deal on the Outer Hebrides! Free WiFi worked well. Breakfast was good, with veggie sausages. The room was comfortable and clean. They even had a pile of paperbacks for you to swap.

Badly dated hotel, cluttered layout in the restaurant, seems like maybe they are only interested in filling the restaurant, waiter service not attentive, no manager available, could hear chefs shouting service repeatedly. but that is the bad bits. My room was fine, i was expecting worse but it was perfectly comfortable, my food was delightfull, Rob Roy Chicken was juicy and the creamy sauce complimented it nicely on the first night, my friend said the curry was fine although it was a small a portion they could easily of eaten more. Second night the steak was a beaut. Overall i would recommend the food to most people but the restaurant is desperate for some more leadership and service and some more atmosphere.

Excellent, central location. Service at reception prompt and courteous. Downstairs bar/reception area modern and inviting but once you move away from this area it is a completely different story. Dated furniture and decor on way upstairs to bedrooms and peeling wallpaper outside the room we were allocated. Bedroom small and again dated. Marks on wallpaper where pictures had been removed. Window frame rotten. Bed comfortable and clean but bed clothes dated. Breakfast good and service friendly and efficient. Only would stay there again as a last resort when visiting Stornoway.

I've been to the County Hotel many times and have never been disappointed. Since the refurbishment the standards have risen greatly and you are guaranteed an excellent meal for very fair prices. The staff are all very pleasant and friendly and go out of their way to cater to your needs. I also recently visited during the HebCelt Festival, which I know to be one of the busiest times of the year so expected a wait - not just at the County Hotel but anywhere in town.

All in all, would recommend to anyone looking for good value food with great service!
