There are many reasons why we travel from Norway to stay at The Old Smiddy. There are freshly made scones when we arrive, fantastic food, and Julie and Julian always make us feel very much at home. The Garden room is lovely, and we are looking forward to another stay this coming summer. Marit Nygreen.

I was extremely impressed with my stay at the old smiddy in March 2013. As a lover of cakes and afternoon teas, I was so impressed with the offer of the most delicious home made scones and home made preserves on our arrival. Julie and Julian were very friendly, helpful and gave good advice on the local area and what... More

This B&B is well worth a visit. We arrived to freshly-made scones, home-made jams and marmalade, and a pot of tea. The room was spotless, with tasteful decor, plump towels, quality bedding, crystal glasses, Scottish Fine Soaps bathroom accessories. Dinner was home -made and fantastic value. Top quality cooking from Julie, and attentive service from Julian, made it truly memorable.... More

A very pleasant welcome from Julie and Julian. Fantastic home made scones on arrival, very helpful discussion with our hosts who helped us plan the next stage of our trip to Lewis - lots of looking at maps and helpful tips. Delightfully cosy bedroom with en-suite. Very clean. Can't fault it, would definitely return (even if it happened to be... More

As we arrived we were pleasantly invited to taste a cup of tea and freshly homemade scones! What a nice way to start our stay. The room was very nice, comfortable and clean, breakfast very good. We suggest this place!

Another most enjoyable stay in The Old Smiddy, Julie and Julian gave us a warm welcome and the scones with cream and jam were delicious and much appreciated. We were extremely well looked after, excellent breakfasts, comfortable surroundings and very knowledgeable hosts. The Old Smiddy also does evening meals on request, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

We had 2 evening meals here when staying at another b and b in Laide. You have to book in advance, and Julie discusses the menu in detail. She provided 2 imaginative vegetarian dishes. The food was of a very high standard, better than in many restaurants and we would certainly recommend it without hesitation.

It was great to have a warm welcome and a home cooked meal ready for us when we arrived from Inverness late in the evening. The downstairs room in the main house is small but comfortable. The sloping walls of the upper room in the main house were a little awkward for someone of my height, (6'3") and not having... More
