We stayed here in October and, having enjoyed it so much, looked foward to spending Easter week at the cottage.It is a very spacious, comfortable and modern property with all you need for your stay. It is isolated, but the peace and quiet make it special. And it is only 8 miles drive from Stornoway!On our arrival this time, Amanda, the owner was there still preparing the property admfter the previous gueats. We were given a very warm greeting and a welcome pack of a vottle of Prosecco and some savoury snacks. Our departure waa delayed for 3 days due to weather and ferry issues and Amanda offered us the option to remain at the cottage until we were able to leave. Thia was very most welcome asxwe avioided the ordeal of having to find alternative accommodation at a higher rate.A bit stressful at the end of our holiday, but that was beyondanyone's control.The cottage, its location and the support given made it another lovely stay!Cheers

The house is a gem, it was home away from home. Really beautifully decorated with elegant touches. Roomy and spacious. The owner Amanda is a darling.

A lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location. Well equipped with everything we needed and a friendly, helpful host. Well poisoned to explore Lewis and Harris or just to have a chilled break in a quiet, peaceful spot. Cottage backs on to a lochan with regular sightings of a back throated diver and other species which kept the birdwatcher very happy.We really enjoyed our stay and would book again, thank you.
