“Comfortable, attractive guesthouse in an otherwise disappointing town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Needed somewhere to stay in Stornoway overnight to wait for a ferry - other places were either fully booked or highly overpriced.

Park Guesthouse was very comfortable - nicely decorated bedroom and bathroom. The plumbing made a bit of noise when used but it's an old, converted house and it didn't cause us problems. Our room was on the main road but the double glazing was very effective so road noise didn't bother us.

Breakfast was very nice using good local produce - the owner obviously takes pride in his cooking.

Service was a bit iffy - we had to phone the owner when we arrived despite telling him what time we'd get there. On leaving there was no one there at all - we had to assume we'd paid as we'd given our credit card details when booking.

We didn't eat in the restaurant as it was closed on Sunday when we were there (as well as being closed on Monday) but most restaurants in the town were also closed on Sundays so we ended up with some pub grub and an early night.

“\disappointed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2010

Although Visit Scotland brochure stated clearly The Park had "Free Parking on site" symbol, there is none. We had to either park outside on the busy main road or in the car park belonging to Hotel across the road. We arrived on a Monday and on enquiring the time for evening meals told restaurant not open on Mondays!!! Would have been useful to be informed before we arrived. Instead of having to find a place to eat in a strange town, fortunately we did and also went back the second night of our stay. Be warned the Saniflo toilet in the en-suite makes a strange loud noise!!

“Park Guest House is very good and well worth a visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2010

We stayed in Park Guest House in April 2009 and we would have no hesitation in recommending it. It is a Guest House and a good one NOT a five star hotel and people should keep that in mind. The room was good and spotless and we had a great meal in the Restaurant -- as good as we would get anywhere and we give credit where it is due and would have no hesitation in staying again.

“Frrrrreeezing! Avoid if possible”

I stayed in this guest house in January when i was up for business for 3 nights , When i arrived at the accomodation i was eventually greeted, and when i got my key said the room was upsatirs!!! The room itself was nice and basic, lovely bathroom although the towel rail never worked which added to the freezing conditions. The first night was so cold in the property i had a coat over me too and still was not warm in the slightest! I mentioned this at breakfast and to check the radiators that day. The breakfast was nice although limited choice with cereal and the cooked breakfast plates were stone cold meaning the food was only warm at best and on the third morning i received 2 items which was not reqested and 1 i did ask for i am still waiting for.

“overpriced and not great ...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2009

person found this review helpful

was recommended this place to stay by a collegue who stayed here many years ago, as the hotels were full...maybe he doesnt like me!!! The single room I got was up in the eves at the front of the guest house, it was absolutely tiny, and a bit grubby at the edges.
And it was really expensive, the shower room was nice, but there was no bath...I was really disappointed, but as I was only there one night I thought I would just put up with it.
Unfortunately the dinner was equally expensive and the steak was so overdone it was inedible, still I was offered no alternative dinner and still had to pay...
Advice is ... dont stay here find somewhere else on this lovely island
