“Beautiful and peaceful”

Reviewed 21 Feb 2023

I agree with the other reviews, beautiful property, warm and cosy, spotlessly clean, lovely bedrooms with fabulous views upstairs, and the swing seat on the decking is a bonus, so tranquil to sit gazing over the Loch. Fishing was great - rods supplied. The location is ideal and central for visiting the rest of the island. Total bonus was we saw the Aurora Borealis from the decking - made the week very special.

“Holiday review”

Reviewed 12 Sep 2022

Enjoyed a superb week in this comfortable and well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting by the loch. Every cottage should have a swing seat - ideal for quietly watching the wildlife! Will certainly be back.

“Lovely cottage”

Reviewed 17 Apr 2022

Spent a week at this lovely cottage...three adults and three children. It was spotlessly clean, spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. A real home from home. The location at the loch edge is outstanding and we enjoyed fishing and just taking in the view. It's located by the main road between Stornoway and Tarbert giving easy access to all parts of the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book again if visiting the Hebrides.

“Perfect home from home for the family”

Reviewed 26 Sep 2021

Really enjoyed our week staying in the cottage. The location is 10/10. We found the house fully equipped with everything needed for our stay. Comfortable, warm, welcoming, and the view is just superb. The location is the perfect place in Lewis to be based to explore the island and the local shop is a short drive ( 10min) is well stocked with lots of essentials. Our favourite time was sitting on the porch swing in the evening peacefully watching the trout jump out the loch for their dinner while the neighbourhood Robin sang us a song. Good phone and internet reception ( for the young ones) The only fault I could say is for some people the spiral stairs could be difficult to climb. My husband, my dog and I can’t wait to return to relax and enjoy sitting by the log fire & taking in the perfect view.
