About this cottage rental

Enclosed lawned garden with gravelled sitting-out area, garden furniture and children’s play area. Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. This spacious, detached cottage is situated in the scattered hamlet of Leurbost, making it an ideal base for exploring the Outer Hebrides. Boasting some of the most beautiful white sandy beaches and turquoise waters in the UK, the spectacular machair runs parallel to many of the beaches on the west side of the islands. The machair is a real haven for wildlife, such as the elusive corncrake with hen harriers, seals, otters and golden eagles also regularly spotted. During the summer months whales and basking sharks visit and the Machair becomes an amazing shimmering mass of colour, peppered with an assorted variety of wildflowers including rare orchids. It is also a great place to spot dolphins.
Stornoway, the main town on the Isle of Lewis is home to Lews Castle, with fabulous grounds and woodland walks. The museum at the castle displays six of the famous 12th century Lewis Chessmen, found in the sand dunes at Uig Bay. Outdoor enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with a variety of activities including hill walking, surfing, fishing, golf, diving, sea kayaking and cycling. Ness Heritage Centre, the well-preserved Carloway Broch and the historic Callanish Standing Stones are all worth visiting. Take a boat trip from one of the nearby ports offering a chance to spot an abundance of wildlife, or further afield discover the archipelago St. Kilda, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Artists and photographers will not be disappointed with the dramatic landscapes, spectacular sunsets and sometimes an opportunity to see the Northern Lights. If you are looking for a stress free holiday away from everyday life the Outer Hebrides is the place for you and offers a truly unique experience. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 11 miles.

Absolutely stunning, very clean and central location to explore Lewis and Harris. Owner could not have been any more friendlier and helpful while still allowing you to enjoy our holiday. This house is a must if you are heading to the Isle of Lewis or Harris.

Very nice cottage with beautiful sceneries. It was very clean so we had no worries with covid-19. The cottage has everything you need including entertainment and the rooms were very cosy. The hospitality from the owner was very warm and welcoming and is a very friendly lovely person. Would definitely recommend and come back again too!

One of the best holiday properties I've stayed in - well appointed and comfortable, with great views. Location is good, lots to see and do within driving distance. Plenty of space for the group, with great cooking facilities. Lounge and TV very relaxing after long days walking and exploring.

A fantastic well kept cottage in Leurbost. Takes a long way to get there (from where we live), but well worth the experience. A great place from which to explore the whole island. Local amenities in Stornaway were closed due to COVID, but this gave us plenty of time to do many family walks, wind down and switch off! Owners are friendly and welcoming with good local knowledge of what to recommend. Thank you.
