The
Heb Hostel is a family run Backpackers Hostel in the centre of
Stornoway, capital of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
Close to all local amenities and less than 5 minutes walking distance
from the ferry terminal and bus station, the Heb Hostel is an ideal base
from which to visit the sites on the Island of Lewis.
The three storey building served as a family home for nearly 180 years
before being converted into a backpackers hostel in April 07.
It still retains many of the period features and has a peat burning stove
as well as being centrally heated by the kitchen Aga.
