The Caladh Inn Stornoway hotel is located around 300 metres from the town centre, almost directly opposite the Nicolson Institute high school, the leisure centre and the Comhairle nan Eilen Siar council offices. Driving time to the Western Isles Hospital is about three minutes. Many local businesses, such as Tesco, Royal Mail, Autoparts, various builders and plumbers merchants, furniture and carpet sales, crofting supplies, etc., are situated on Stornoway’s main commercial business area within easy walking distance.

It is popular with both Outer Hebrides holiday makers and business people who have made it their regular home from home when repeatedly visiting the Western Isles.

takeawayEleven Restaurant and Bar is our spacious, contemporary carvery and buffet restaurant, which serves hotel guests, other visitors to Stornoway and many local residents. Open from early morning until late evening (see ‘Dining’ for current opening hours and meal service times) you can choose a fixed price ‘serve yourself’ lunch or dinner, or select ‘cooked to order’ dishes from the a la carte menus.

Our standard overnight accommodation tariffs include bed and breakfast – with full Scottish and continental choices at the buffet.

Outdoors, there are pleasant walks in the extensive wooded parklands and golf course that surround Lews Castle, about half a mile away. Closer to the hotel in Stornoway itself, you can explore the harbours and a wide range of town centre facilities, including quality independent shops, harbours and a contemporary arts centre, An Lanntair.

Our aim at the Caladh Inn Stornoway hotel is to make sure you receive the best of hospitality for which the Outer Hebrides is famous. Relaxed, yet respectful and attentive to your wishes.

WEDDINGS

Your perfect wedding day dreams can come to life when you meet your Personal Wedding Planner at the Caladh Inn. She or he will take your brief and help you choose a package tailored to your wishes – exactly. We’re flexible and don’t tie you to set menus and arrangements – we have the knowledge and expertise to take the stress out of organising your wedding reception, encouraging you to involve yourself in the fun aspects of the planning while we take care of the less exciting elements.

wedding-reception-stornowayIf you want to make or buy your own reception decorations and place them once the room is set up, we’re delighted to have you stamp your personality on the event. We’ve hosted so many weddings that we can help you with suggestions about what is or isn’t practical; what guests enjoy and how best to entertain them.

We won’t insist that you follow a schedule set by us – if you wish, you can plan your own timetable into which we can agree with you (beforehand) how and when we will incorporate the elements of the reception that we provide.

Whether you’re planning a banquet for 150 – with dancing to a live band, a world clan gathering, or a simple celebration for less than a dozen guests, we can provide the perfect environment.

Under the applicable law, the Caladh Inn and banqueting suites are an ‘Approved Place’ for a civil marriage, which means you have the option to hold a marriage ceremony at the hotel, as well as your wedding reception, should you wish.

Experience and skill

weddiing-venue-stornowayWhat makes us successful is the way your wedding planner and banqueting team pay attention to every detail, so that we bring your ideas to life.

Every one of our staff members is dedicated to achieving and maintaining the highest possible levels of service – wedding receptions here show just how well we can look after our guests – food is served efficiently, is restaurant quality and we have plenty of menu choices from which you can select.

During the reception, our wedding management team ensures that everything runs smoothly, leading the proceedings for you and adjusting schedules to suit the pace of your day. In case the weather is bad and you think you may need photography indoors, we can have a suitable space reserved for you.

If you want your wedding planner to act as a master of ceremonies, addressing guests on your behalf to introduce speakers, etc., just ask.

The Caladh Inn has a reputation for hosting friendly, agreeable receptions – we have done it so long that we’re now organising the celebrations for the daughters and sons of some of our original happy couples.
