Helen the previous owner of Jannel was a hard act to follow however the new owners Paul and Maureen have "filled" her shoes admirably. A smashing warm welcome at the front door was the ideal start to an excellent overnight stay in a first class room. To people who dont know Stornoway one of Jannel's strengths is that it enjoys...

So travelling to the Outer Hebrides in early may is a bit risky weather wise, as we are finding, however Jannel Guest house is a warm and welcoming oasis from the storm that is happening outside. The facilities are great, very clean and their is a wide variety of breakfast options all very well done. Our hosts are wonderful, after... More

As previous reviews have said, Paul and Maureen provide a very professional and hospitable service. I have stayed with them on several occasions on business in recent weeks, and I was delighted with the en suite rooms I used - very clean, comfortable and well appointed. It is in a quiet area of the town, but within walking distance of... More

This was a last minute booking and the owners were welcoming and professional. They allowed us to keep our bikes inside the house and there was an attitude of nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend.

I stayed at Jannel B&B while working in Stornoway. The room I stayed in was lovely. Very tastefully decorated, clean and warm. The weather was terrible at the time I stayed there and really appreciated the comfort of the bed and the extra heater in the room. The owners are lovely and welcoming.

I spent one night in the B&B due to a family emergency. It was situated close to the hospital, and provided a very high standard accomodation and service. Helen was very helpful and informative providing an element of calm to a hectic visit. Definately the best B&B I have stayed in, in all of Lewis & Harris.

We spent two nights here. Helen is a fantastic hostess. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choices. It is a short walk into town - the walk was lovely. It is very quiet here. Our room has a great large comfy bed and roomy bathroom. I would stay here again any time.

This place feels like home. Warm welcoming, spacious bedroom with fantastic bed, WIFI, excellent breakfast (the first edible black pudding since 10 days! Helen uses the real Stornoway one from the butcher. Yummy!) Even very early breakfast (05:30 - due to having to catch the morning ferry) was no problem. And I was allowed to day hello to the 2...
