YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Lewis
Stornoway
Stornoway is a practical centre for shopping and a town-based day. Check museum and heritage-venue information and allow time for the harbour and surrounding streets.
Callanish area
The prehistoric landscape around Callanish is a distinctive part of a Lewis itinerary. Check current site access and visitor arrangements before planning a particular monument visit.
Western coast
The west offers beaches, crofting communities and coastal routes. Pick a suitable shore or walk and check access, weather and facilities before setting out for a remote area.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Stornoway is the main starting point for substantial provisions shopping. Community shops elsewhere can be valuable local stops, but check opening hours and local Sunday arrangements rather than assuming late availability.
Planning your holiday in Lewis
Confirm ferry or flight arrangements and the journey onwards to your accommodation. Remote beaches and heritage sites may be a considerable drive from the town.
Choosing where to stay

Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
