The Experience

The Longhouse is architect-designed with not another building to disturb the stunning views across grass rushes to the sea. In summer you’ll be strolling the raised boardwalk or eating on the dining deck. This serene, Scandi-style house has a really well-stocked kitchen with lots of cookery books and sharp knives for proper cooks. You’ll find local treats waiting too.

Bedrooms, bathrooms (one facing south) and living spaces seamlessly spread themselves out, with the kitchen on the same level and a super second sitting room upstairs for escapees with computer and WiFi for those who must work. Glass doors glide open to a wraparound deck, perfect for a sundowner at dusk or a barbecue on a warm night – buy fresh shellfish straight from the boats.

Bedrooms have fabulous touches – modern chandeliers, Harris tweed throws and cushions, huge picture windows. Sip tea in bed, admire the views, feel lucky to be here.

We think you'll love

  • Spending days exploring this wonderful place - beachcombing, wild swimming, walking, taking boat trips, spotting birds and wildlife
  • Cooking superb fresh fish and shellfish outdoors in summer months - it stays light for ages and then when the night is clear you may even see the Milky Way
  • Firing up the wood-burner, hunkering down with a good book, watching the drama unfold outdoors

Jessica

This was my first time to the Outer Hebrides and I was bowled over by the island of Lewis. A week wasn't long enough, and I am planning a return! The Longhouse is a beautiful place to stay, with stunning views towards the sea. I felt instantly at home and didn't want to leave!

We had a fantastic week in Lewis/Harris. The Longhouse is in a great location to allow you to explore the island whilst also having amenities like shops and restaurants not too far away in Stornoway. The house itself is beautiful, in a lovely location with some beautiful beach walks more or less on your doorstep. The attention to detail in the house is exceptional - there is literally everything you could possibly need to have a great holiday!

A magical few days looking out over the bay, watching the horses on the paddock next to the house, listening to the birds. This is pure relaxation. Lovely touches throughout the tastefully decorated house. You never want to leave here.

This was our fourth visit to Lewis Longhouse and it definitely won’t be our last! Wonderful accommodation in a superb location; the thought of coffee in the morning overlooking the beach will keep me going until next year! Really nice pre and post visit comms with Linda (owner) and a warm in-person welcome from Donalda on arrival. Weather wasn’t so good this year but there is so much to do, it didn’t impact our holiday at all-we did Seafari, Stand Up Paddleboarding and general sight seeing....Until the next time :-)

This is a beautiful and comfortable holiday home enjoying a lovely outlook. Easy to explore all of Lewis and Harris from this location with perfect beaches only a short drive away and the convenience of Stornoway amenities close by. Lewis Longhouse is incredibly well equipped and the thoughtful attention to detail ...made our stay really special. The four of us who visited agreed this is the best holiday home we have ever stayed in and we would definitely return.

Location

The neighbourhood

You're on the edge of a small hamlet, Back, with a little shop and post office, petrol station and cake shop. Stornoway is a 15 minute drive (you can catch the bus outside the house) for a pretty harbour, boat trips, nice independent shops and a good butcher. You may spot shoals of dolphin and some very tame seals. Visit the Callanish Stones which you can get close to and touch - magical.

Local points of interest from Linda Macleod Brown

  • Fly here in less than an hour from Edinburgh, Inverness or Glasgow! .. or take a few more hours and enjoy the roadtrip and sea crossing to a different world!
  • Great walks on the doorstep, along our local beach 50 yards east or west to moorland, whatever the weather. And central enough for great day-trips all around the island. Or just sit on the deck and watch the birdlife and big skies to track that weather!
  • Follow the Eat Drink Hebrides Trail, buy fresh langoustines, crab or lobster from a local fisherman, cheeses and local venison through the islands and sample your wares in the house for dinner.
  • Look out for the Northern Lights, the aurora borealis, step outside on a crisp, clear night and take in the vast dark sky lit up with stars and a clear Milky Way!
  • We provide guests with our own inside track for days out to help you plan your holiday with suggestions for every day for a week or more so you get the most out of your time at our Lewis Longhouse.
  • In a quiet, edge of village location with open beach views, we are accessible by the local bus, handy for an evening out. EV charger at the house metered for guests with electric cars.

Introducing

Linda Macleod Brown

Linda is a local lass, born in Stornoway. She and her husband Paul had the house built on the family croft and they come as often as they can to enjoy their island home. They wanted to build something that was the best home they could have for themselves. Linda is a passionate cook (hence the thoughtful kitchen) and leaves you lots of guide books and maps so you can get the very best out of your stay.
