Leave a reviewSpent three great days The Bunker - brilliant accommodation with a balcony overlooking the water. Super space to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the world go by plus some fantastic sunsets. The Bunker had everything we needed and more - really well equipped. Located in a quiet location just outside Stornaway it’s an ideal base for exploring Lewis. We had some really good weather which was a bonus and topped off our break very nicely. Would have no hesitation in recommending the Bunker - thank you Tina.
