The Cross Inn is wonderful. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the barn pub- a fun setting and excellent food. WiFi was great in bar but non existent in our room. Highly recommend it to other travelers.

Good B&B

We stayed a night prior to flying out of Stornoway. Nice room, decent bathroom, solid breakfast, plus a chance to eat good pub grub in the curious barn bar.

Such a wonderful place to stay at what feels like the top of the Isle of Lewis (nearly is). Food was some of the best we had in three weeks of road tripping. Owners were so kind and friendly, helped us to plan to see the most things possible in one day. Highly recommend.

Small but sweet hotel, nice room with very comfy bed and shower room. Was a little confused when we arrives as no one was in the main building at the front, the whole thing looked closed. We bumped into some other residents who guided us to the pub at the back of the building where wer found the lovely and helpful staff members who checked us in. Room lovely size, but no dressing table/mirror area. TV, wardrobe and single lounge chair in there though. Went to the pub for a drink but we arrive after food as we were on the late ferry. Great selection of drinks, but more staff than customers in, even though the hotel was full. It was a Monday night though! Breakfast served buffet style in the restaurant which was accessible from the room inside the building. Terrific selection, well cooked Scottish breakfast options and plenty of continental options. All you would wish for in a breakfast included in the room rate. Although they did stop serving at 9.15, so you need to get in early.

Fresh feel to the room. Exceptionally clean. Only drawback is the lack of a chair (but understandable given the size of the room). Good breakfast and plenty of choice - food could have been a little hotter on the second morning of our stay.

After driving through thick fog and not seeing much of Harris, the sun came out on our arrival at The Cross Inn. They run a delightful village pub behind the inn where we had one of the best meals of our entire three-week trip. I recommend the Cullin Skink, a Scottish seafood chowder, delicious and the best I had in Scotland and Ireland. My salmon dish was out of this world good. Hubby had a delicious chicken wrapped in prosciutto. When I asked where the chef was trained, expecting Paris or Michelin, I was told Stornoway, Harris. It was one of the most memorable meals, if not the best, of our trip.

Great place with modern rooms and good pub food

Fabulous place. Very modern rooms in a cute pub. Lovely pub environment for our evening meal with a good menu including local fish. We had to leave early (5am) and they put out a small breakfast for us which was much appreciated. You need to book your evening meal. Highly recommonded.

This is a great place to stay! It was a last minute booking for us and we wanted a nice quiet, quant little place to stay, and the Cross Inn delivered all of that and more. The Barn Bar in the back was great, and the food is amazing. The staff are great and the owner is great host and makes sure all the details are up to standard!!!
