However the property is a bit dated and seemed pricy for what we had. The rooms have a 1980's feel to them. For location it's beautiful, set next to a Loch and handy to visit the near by attractions of the Broch and Blackhouse villlage. ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 22 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Doune Braes is very close to the Callanish standing stones, which makes it a super convenient location if the stones are on your itinerary! Everyone working at Doune Braes was extremely kind and helpful and the food (I had dinner and breakfast) was delicious. It is not a fancy accommodation, but the rooms are clean, spacious, and safe. Highly recommended if you are visiting Lewis and want to see the Callanish stones, particularly at sunrise or sunset! ##### Emily Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Peter 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Clean, staff ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Timothy 19 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Very tired hotel in desperate need of renovation.
