The Crown Inn

About

The Crown Inn is a charming 4‑star seaside hotel tucked into the heart of Stornoway on Castle Street. With 16 en‑suite rooms—single, double, and a spacious family room that combines a twin and a double en‑suite—the hotel offers comfortable accommodation for travellers of all kinds. A lift is not available, but the first‑floor rooms sit just a short walk (12 steps) from reception and our friendly staff are happy to help with luggage. Guests can enjoy a warm, inviting harbour‑view restaurant and lounge bar that boasts the largest gin selection in the Outer Hebrides, alongside a robust range of world‑beers, cask ales and craft cocktails. The pub‑style bar also delivers hot buffet breakfasts from 5:30 am to 9:30 am and continental options until 9:30 am, plus a hot buffet from 7:30 am to 9:30 am daily. The on‑site restaurant serves traditional Scottish fare such as haggis, salmon and locally sourced produce, complemented by a hand‑picked wine list. The Crown Inn prides itself on being pet‑friendly—owners are welcome to bring their four‑legged companions, with dedicated breakfast arrangements available in the lounge bar. Our central location places the hotel just minutes from Stornoway’s main transport links, the ferry and bus terminals, the historic Lewis Castle and during daylight a short walk to the harbour. Whether you’re planning a business stay or a leisurely escape, The Crown Inn combines relaxed Scottish hospitality with a convenient, friendly service that keeps both guests and four‑legged friends at heart. The hotel encourages advance booking for table reservations, especially between May and August, as seating can be limited during peak season.
