Top Great Bernera Hotel Reviews

The Corner Cottage Sandwick

The Corner Cottage Sandwick

10/10 Excellent
"It was a great cottage to spend 4 nights with my family. We attended an event in Stornoway and explored various parts of the island. It’s certainly an easy location to get to from the ferry being only a 5 minute drive away and great for when you’re leaving on the 7 am ferry! The kitchen is well stocked with cooking items and the bedrooms are cozy. The only negative is that’s it’s on a busy road which is sometimes noisy - but not too bad. Titus also easy access to a lovely walking trail down to the beach."

"No words or pictures could do justice to how wonderful every detail is. The view is spectacular, the surroundings and location are breathtaking, the quality of every item is well thought out and beautifully curated. Had the most wonderful, comfy and cozy stay with everything you could need. You might end up cooking quite a lot if you’re there for a while, the kitchen is very well stocked and functional. Not a single complaint, only that I had to return to reality. Thank you so much for such an incredible stay!"

Detached spacious Isle of Lewis cottage in tranquil position with loch view

10/10 Excellent
"First and foremost: the hosts were so welcoming and friendly. There had been a very minor glitch at check-in (which was resolved immediately) but the hosts insisted on "making up for your trouble" by treating me to a traditional dinner at a nearby hotel. This was not necessary (I didn't feel they had anything to apologize for) but it was very appreciated. AND the cottage itself was very welcoming: everything was there--coffee, tea, cereals, milk for coffee amd cereals, lots of "biscuits" plus all the condiments and spices you needed for elegant meals. The kitchen had all the dinnerware and pots and utensils you required, the bathroom was stocked with lots of amenities, and there were plug adaptors for American-style appliance plugs. They really put a lot of thought into providing everything anyone would need to live there. It felt like home."
