To the west of the village you can discover the weatherworn ruins of the 16th century church of St Columba that lookout to sea. There are plenty of fishing opportunities, whether your preference is for the waves or the calmer lochs, and local amenities including a pub serving traditional food, a village shop and a café are within a short drive. Stornoway, the only town in the Outer Hebrides, can be reached within an hour's drive, offering a working harbour and a fantastic array of shops and award-winning restaurants serving local food.

The location is stunning and the attention to detail within the cottage, not to mention the impeccable cleanliness! Is second to none! We will not stay anywhere else again when visiting the islands. A week wasn't nearly enough and we didn't want to leave. My husband caught a lovely brown trout which we cooked for dinner and the Lobster and Oysters we cooked freshly caught, from Stornoway, were amazing! I loved the little touches even for our dog Bonnie. Right down to leads and canine first aid kit! How thoughtful. We spent hours sitting on the decking by the water. So calming and we were lucky enough to witness the blue moon which shone beautifully on the Loch. Thank you for making our holiday so special. We will return.
