The harbour itself is a focal point, offering views of the fishing boats and ferries.


For travellers with pets, staying in the town centre is convenient as it provides easy access to local parks and walking routes, such as those leading towards Lews Castle grounds, which are superb for dog walks. Many of the hotels here are accustomed to hosting pets, often providing bowls or beds upon request, ensuring a comfortable stay for both you and your furry companion.


Couples travelling with a pet will find this area particularly suitable. You're close to eateries that might offer outdoor seating options in good weather, and the ability to easily pop back to your hotel for pet breaks makes exploring the town stress-free.

What pet-friendly activities should we do in Stornoway?

The best areas to stay in Stornoway are the town centre itself or the slightly quieter residential areas just outside.
