Description from owner

Description

Cliscro offers spectacular sea and mountain views from its vantage point above Loch Carloway. The house is set at the edge of the peaceful village of Borrowston. It has been tastefully renovated to offer you comfort and relaxation in its stunning setting. You are ideally placed to explore the island, with beautiful beaches and historic attractions within a few minutes drive. Whatever your pleasure; fishing, walking, surfing or cycling, it is an ideal base for your adventures. If you wish to stay closer to home there is plenty available to keep you entertained (a flat screen television, Wifi, board games, books, a DVD library and Ipod compatible CD system) so settle down in front of the log burning stove and relax. If you enjoy star gazing, the roof windows in the master bedroom often allow you to view the Milky Way while snuggled up in bed.

Further details indoors

There is one comfortable double bedroom upstairs and a twin room downstairs. You may not need the central heating on in summer time but if you like it hot, then the traditional solid fuel stove in the kitchen will heat the radiators and do the trick . We will provide you with plenty of wood, coal or peat to keep you going.The dining room and living room boast south facing views over Loch Carloway. You may wish to try your hand at cooking on top of the traditional range but if not, don't worry as the modern kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and gas hob.

Further details outdoors

The patio table and four chairs will allow you to soak up your outside surroundings in comfort. Let us know if you like cooking in the great outdoors and we will make sure barbecue equipment is available for you.
The garden is fully enclosed so children can play outside happily. In spring, they may want to take a 50m stroll up the road to see the wee lambs at play. In summer it should be easy to spot salmon jumping in the loch and if you are lucky you may see an eagle soaring over head.

“Fabulous stay in our favourite place”

Reviewed 14 Sep 2023

Once again we loved spending a week at Cliscro. The house is a perfect size for us and our 2 dogs. The garden is enclosed and it is so valuable to be able to let them out and know they’re safe. We will be back!

“Outer Hebrides getaway.”

Reviewed 14 May 2023

This little cottage at the back of beyond, accessed by a narrow winding road, was a haven of peace for my friend and I, just what we wanted. Privacy, very, very little traffic, so peaceful and such stunning scenery. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and tidy, had everything we needed for our stay.

“Lovely friendly welcome to a comfortable Lewis property with stunning views”

Reviewed 26 Jun 2022

Cliscro is a comfortable property with spacious, light-filled rooms. The host made us extremely welcome, providing everything you would need for your stay and was readily to hand nearby if anything was required. The property is in a great location at the top of a hill with the front garden having stunning views over the loch and is a perfect spot for visiting the west coast of Lewis.

“An excellent stay in a welcoming and cosy cottage”

Reviewed 2 Jun 2022

Eleanor is a friendly and welcoming host. There were treats for us when we arrived and Eleanor popped in to make sure we had everything we needed (we did!) and she gave us good information to help us plan our time. There is a lot to do in the area and we wished we had booked for longer. The cottage was comfortable and felt homely. We would highly recommend!
