The Lewis Longhouse

We had a lovely stay at Lewis Longhouse. It's situated just a few miles north of Stornoway, which we found quite convenient. The house is extremely well equipped and the decor is stunning. Eilidh met us when we arrived, and explained all the nuances of the property. Linda provided a guide with suggestions for places to visit. We took this to heart and managed to visit quite a few of her recommendations. I would recommend a visit to Coll pottery, only a couple of minutes drive from the Longhouse. It's a bit Tardis like! Some beautiful pieces. The welcome pack! One of the best we have ever had!

The detail and timing of information prior to our arrival was excellent - both thorough and useful. The suggestions for daily activities was handy and up to date, the only problem is a week is not long enough to do them all. We stayed there just before Easter. One advantage of this meant the roads were free of mobile homes, caravans and motor cycles - don't get me wrong, I'm a biker myself, but it was good to be able to dawdle along at 40mph and enjoy the spectacular views.

Beautiful house, inside and out, in attractive location. Fine view of and easy walk to local beach. High quality furnishings. Very well-equipped kitchen plus wifi, TV, music player, books etc. Useful guides provided for the house and the island. Helpful local staff should you need them. Couldn't fault it!

We had the most dreamy holiday in the Lewis Longhouse. The house was absolutely stunning. Spotlessly clean and beautifully finished. We really couldn’t fault anything. Others before us have said that it was the perfect base to explore the island, but once immersed in such a fabulous home, it’s hard to leave. All creature comforts aside, it is a wonderful island with lots to do and some fabulous places to eat.

“We found ourselves of an evening sat wine in hand looking out of the window across the grasslands to the bay; having just cooked and eaten another great meal out of one of the Longhouse recipe books - using local fish. We absolutely loved it at the Long House !! Linda and Paul have built a special place and we felt privileged to have shared it. Thank you.”
