Award winning Broad Bay House is owned and run by Sue and Tom and we share your passion for traveling and exploring. Immerse yourself in a world of tranquillity, luxury and comfort. Our guesthouse is designed to offer a symphony of relaxation, style, and unmatched hospitality. From the moment you arrive you’re guaranteed to have an extraordinary experience.​

 

2026 will be Broad Bay House's 20th season welcoming guests to our wonderful chain of islands, and we are delighted to be maintaining our reputation as one of the best places to stay in the Outer Hebrides. We are very proud to be the only 5-star Gold AA accredited Bed and Breakfast in the Outer Hebrides. And over the moon to receive the AA's Friendliest B&B of the Year Award for 2025. Purpose designed and built as a spacious luxury guest house, Broad Bay House is based on a traditional island design, equipped and decorated to a high quality contemporary style.​

 

The location itself is worth the double 5-star gold rating, just a few miles north of Stornoway in a small working crofting community, and adjacent to a sweeping sandy beach with direct access from the house to the shore. On a clear day, the Scottish highlands can be seen across the Minch. We are perfectly located in the middle of the island and an ideal base for exploring both Lewis and Harris.​ Inside there are four spacious luxury en-suite guest rooms set out as junior suites. All bedrooms are equipped with a flat screen Smart TV, smart speaker and DVD player. In addition, each room has a Nespresso machine, complimentary snacks and luxury toiletries. Outside each bedroom is a personal decking area, with seating. Soft colours, natural woods and sympathetic furnishings provide a relaxing environment.

 

Other guest facilities include free Wi-Fi, a guest laundry and a guest study. We also have an EV Charger for the exclusive use of our guests. The house is fully licensed, and has a wide ranging and interesting wine, gin and malt whisky list. Do have a look at our gin & whisky cocktails! A highlight of the house is the large guest dining/lounge which has a vaulted ceiling and windows on three sides, providing lovely views of the coast and local wildlife, while a solid fuel stove makes life cosy when the weather demands. Throughout you will find fresh flowers and complimentary treats.​

 

Do take a look at our 3 night Dinner, Bed and Breakfast package. Available for stays of 3 nights for 2 adults in any of our guest rooms. This is a unique offer to experience the island and its amazing seafood over a relaxing 3 night break. For direct bookings only - full details are here. 

 

We feel Broad Bay House is one of the finest places to stay in the Outer Hebrides with its unique blend of luxury accommodation, fine food and wine and an outstanding coastal location; we open all year round. ​If you need any further details, please do ask and we look forward to welcoming you to our home.​

 

Warmest regards, Sue and Tom
