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

Fiona

Our experience of staying at the Longhouse on Stornoway was wonderful. It is well positioned on Lewis whether you decide to go exploring the island or just sit in comfort and look out at the beautiful views surrounding the house. The house itself has all the amenities you need whether staying for a short break or longer. It was a pleasure to return after a day out seeing the sights and relax in front of the woodburner. Linda and Paul were great hosts and provided a lot of great information on the house as well as the island itself. Overall we had a fantastic stay x

This was our third stay at the Longhouse and it hadn't lost its magic. If anything it was even better! We just love the location, the peace and the unrivalled beauty and design of the house. Looking out to the sea from the huge glass doors while having breakfast injects something truly special into the mind and soul. Cleanliness, decor, communication and comfort were all spot on. There's plenty to do in the area; if you've never been before you're in for a treat! 5 stars all round and highly recommended!

We had a magical time on Lewis & Harris. The longhouse is absolutely fantastic - every detail has been designed & considered. The views from the picture windows are stunning - we almost wished for rain so we had an excuse to sit and look out but the islands are bursting with fantastic beaches, epic scenery and friendly people. The beds are comfy and the showers are hot too! We can’t wait to go back and we highly recommend the Longhouse & the Islands.

The property is well located just a few miles north of Stornaway and very close to a lovely beach for walks. It is a comfortable well appointed property with great views of the coastline. There is easy to use EV charging onsite and back up in Stornaway. We had a lovely time here and look forward to returning in the future.

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

  • Follow our inside track for days out; published annually for our guests to help you plan your holiday; full of our suggestions for every day of the week to make the most of your stay.
  • 5 minutes walk to our local beach, visible from the deck. The house is central enough for great day-trips all around the island.
  • Buy fresh langoustines, crab or lobster from a local fisherman, cheeses, venison and home bakes through the island's delis or honesty boxes and enjoy a picnic by one of the many beaches.
  • Look out for the Northern Lights, the aurora borealis on a crisp, clear night or just take in the vast dark sky lit up with stars and a clear Milky Way! Sit on the deck, daytime, under big skies and look out for wildlife from corncrakes to deer.
  • We're in a quiet, edge of village location with open beach views, 5 minutes walk away, but on the bus route, handy for an evening out. EV charger at the house.
  • Enjoy the roadtrip through Scotland and sea crossing to the islands, as part of your holiday, looking out for dolphins and porpoises on the way!

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.
