From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Roddy the host, until we departed everything about our 5 day break was excellent. A lovely welcome pack, nice warm house, close proximity to the Town Centre, excellent restaurants, really good roads with no potholes and even Roddy managed to arrange very good sunny weather for us. Will definitely be back.

This was a really well specified property located very centrally in Stornoway.Roddy & Catherine were responsive and even popped round to answer a query. It's about 5 mins from the ferry port and only a short walk to Tesco's for supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting Beckett's and sons which again was a short walk with excellent breakfasts and good coffee. The owners left some provisions and a bottle of robe which was very much appreciated - thank you

This is so convenient for getting about, right in the middle of Stornaway and easy walking distance to everything, bars , shops, cafes, restaurants.Didn’t meet the host, and although property was easy to access all communications were automated even though I did send some questions before we went they were not answered.Well laid out property with plenty of room for everyone, could do with a bit more crockery and update of pans etc.

We are Catherine and Roddy Afrin and we are the owners of The Townhouse in Stornoway. We have been in the hospitality trade for 35 years.

Why they chose this property

We think The Townhouse is special because we went to great efforts to upgrade it with the best materials, funishings and appliances to make it a home from home for our guests. It suits families with children over 5.

What makes this property unique

The Townhouse is pretty unique in being two minutes walk from the centre of Stornoway while still in a quiet street.
