About Broad Bay House

Broad Bay House sits on a low headland overlooking Broad Bay, a few miles from Stornoway on Lewis's east coast, and is built specifically around the view, with a wall of glass in its communal living space framing the water and hills beyond. It is a modern, architect-designed alternative to the traditional Hebridean guest house.

The five bedrooms are large by island standards, each with its own sitting area and most with private access to a terrace or balcony facing the bay. Breakfast is cooked to order using local produce, including Stornoway black pudding and fresh eggs, and served in a dining room that shares the same uninterrupted outlook.

Its position close to Stornoway makes it a convenient first or last stop for anyone arriving by ferry or plane, while still feeling separate from the town, and it is within easy reach of the Callanish stones and the beaches of Lewis's west coast for day trips.

Thankyou to Sue and Tom for such a lovely stay at the Broadbay Guest house on the Isle of Lewis. Beautiful room with a double cast iron bath and a lovely patio. Beautiful room with Sea view. We had lovely breakfasts and two lovely meals prepared fresh by Sue and Tom and served beautifully. We could not fault our stay and it was an amazing base for both visiting Lewis and Harris. To be honest the bb totally made our holiday. We loved every minute Thankyou from Caroline and Ken and Bella Boo very dog friendly too 🩷
