We stayed in Am Bothan (Sand Street) for 6 nights. Superb location within easy reach of Stornoway town centre but just enough privacy and peace and quiet too. This little hideaway is perfectly located to travel all around Lewis and Harris and is a delightfully safe and cosy place to return to at the end of a busy day walking on deserted beaches and discovering what fabulous wildlfie swims the shores of this amazing Island. Am Bothan is a little gem and we'll definitely be back. Morag's welcome was first class and she was on hand throughout our stay - some larger hotel chains could learn a lot here! I cannot recommend this Island enough (Lewis and Harris) and if it's peace and quiet you're after at a fair price, Am Bothan's just perfect. Bathroom's a bit on the small side but there's too much to see to waste it lying in a bath :). Definitely worth investing in the Rough Guide to Scottish Highlands and Islands for the best beaches. If you're even remotely interested in surfing or sea swimming - don't forget to pack the wet suits and binoculars are a must too (dolphins, basking sharks, otters etc. )
I only hope this place doesn't get swamped with visitors so its charm and tranquility gets ruined before our next visit!
