Hebridean Self Catering, a Stornoway company, will today (Monday) become the latest Isle of Lewis tourism business to earn a five star grading for two of its luxury holiday lodges.
The company now has a total of four 5 star properties following a VisitScotland Quality Assurance Scheme grading visit, making it the largest provider of luxury self catering on the island. With modern open plan living and saunas and jacuzzi baths within the properties, they offer visitors to Lewis a luxurious experience.
Locally owned and operated, the properties have also been built using environmentally sensitive methods and materials, something which earned them a Silver award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme, the UK’s leading sustainable tourism certification scheme.
Morag Duncan from Hebridean Luxury Holidays said: “We are delighted that the national tourism organisation has awarded us with a five star grading and this recognises our ongoing investment into providing top quality accommodation for our visitors to Lewis.
“Excellent customer service is also central to the success of our business and we work very hard to ensure that visitors have a wonderful experience here.”
Tony Mercer, Head of VisitScotland’s Quality and Standards who is presenting the awards today, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved with this success story. It is clear that their sheer hard work and determination has paid off, benefiting Lewis and its tourism offering greatly.”
VisitScotland’s Quality Assurance Schemes cover visitor attractions and all accommodation sectors, including hostels and caravan and camping parks.
