Disliked: Staff & service
Exceedingly dissatisfied, I highly recommended seeking accommodations elsewhere. This place is dishonest and not worthy of business. When a storm prevented travel due to the closure of ferry crossings I contacted the hotel and was told they would agree to cancel but I would need to get expedia to also cancel. I then booked another place not requiring a ferry. When expedia agreeded and contacted the Cross Inn they then refused so I was stuck with the bill. If they would have been honest up front I would have understood, but instead they lied. When I return to Lewis Harris I will avoid this place like the plague. I encourage others to avoid the Cross Inn so you dont experience the dishonesty I experienced.

A pleasant Inn

Attractive, clean, quiet room. Large offering of hot and cold items for breakfast. Dinner was grand: fresh food, well seasoned and huge portions. Ample parking onsite. The owners and staff were welcoming and friendly.

Booked the Cross Inn because it s kind of at the "end of the world" near the Butt of Lewis and had great reviews. It didn't disappoint. Wonderful staff, cozy stay, full Scottish breakfast, plenty of hot water in the shower, can't thank these folks enough for their kindness and dedication.

We had an overnight stay here during our recent trip to the Western Isles. The room was quite simple, as expected when we booked, but the welcome from the staff was very good. We had dinner in the barn, good choice available and very well cooked and again, we had great service. Same again at breakfast so in all we had a great stay and can strongly recommend

Outstanding

The Cross is an outstanding gem of a little hotel about a half hours drive north of Stornoway on the rugged and beautiful west coast. The staff are fabulous; the food fabulous and the rooms are comfortable. Leave the Stornoway hotels to their over-priced quest to city type uniformity and be part of the Cross. You won't regret it!

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.
