10.0 / 10.0

The house is lovely and comfortable. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and living space. Very quiet location and so nice to have a washer & dryer. The hosts, Jan & Colum, were easy to reach and very friendly. We were welcomed with a wee Scottish breakfast in the refrigerator when we arrived. Would definitely recommend!

Spacious house in a beautiful location with a beach and lots of nice scenery nearby. The house was comfortable to stay in. Callum was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. He had lots of recommendations for exploring the island and was very welcoming.

10.0 / 10.0

Great property, nice for our family, but would also work really well with 2 families staying together as 2 bedrooms are upstairs and two down. The two living rooms are also great for doing separate activities. The house has been really well maintained and has everything you could need in the kitchen, plus 2 smart tvs, wifi, games and books about the area. The owner lived across the road and was so kind, met us when we arrived and was chatty and interesting, but didn't intrude on us at all. We only saw him again when we asked a question and he responded really quickly. We stayed 9 days, arriving late on Saturday. He made sure we had a fridge full of everything we would need for breakfast on Sunday as the shops are mostly shut (including some stornoway black pudding). We don't usually go back to the same place twice on holiday, but if we do return we would definitely stay here. The location is also great- nice and near several lovely beaches. Thank you for a great trip!

We had a lovely time staying in the house, it was so homely and had everything needed for a stay. Great walk down to the beach and easy drive into Stornoway and beyond. Loved the house and the Islands.

The house was perfect, really well laid out and ideal for our needs with the four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two lounges. It was close to beaches and to Stornaway.Calum was very kind and welcoming, we really enjoyed our stay, thank you very much.

This home was booked at last minute as we had been staying with family and things were getting too crowded.Callum met us on arrival and showed us round the house, he also kindly provided us with a travel cot for our 2 3 month old babies the house was lovely and the view from the sitting room was great. A breakfast was also provided for the first morning which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this property.

We were really pleased with Jan and Callum. They were very friendly and welcoming. The house was perfect, especially after a very rough campout on Skye. Thanks again, and we hope to be back.

We had a lovely stay in the Old Croft house. In fact Croft from Croft and home from home. Everything you could wish for including the weather.

10.0 / 10.0

The property was exactly as it looked in the pictures, it was airy, clean and spacious with lots of room for the whole group to get together but plenty of quieter space for some 'me time'. We already know the island and have lots of family there and Jan and Callum offered to come and extend our table if they were coming over, asked where we needed safety gates and provided top class toddler safe equipment. The weather was great so we made very good use of the local.beaches and garden too. Great hosts and we look forward very much to coming and staying again if we may.

10.0 / 10.0

Lovely house in a beautiful location. Thanks to Jan and Callum for their hospitality and guidance of what to see and do( especially The Golden Road).

10.0 / 10.0

We were a large group staying at the property for 4 nights. The place was just perfect. There was enough space, every utensil or item you needed was there, everything was good quality, the beds and towels were soft and comfortable. We made full use of everything we could, including the lovely little walk to the serene+almost secluded beach, the great BBQ facilities and the Internet TVs and fireplaces. We would absolutely stay here again in the future without hesitation. Callum and Jan were the perfect hosts! Thank you both - look forward to seeing you again! Latifa and Family

10.0 / 10.0

We had a wonderful stay. The property is lovely with lots of homely touches. The hosts were really friendly and helpful - from a warm welcome with some milk and eggs in the fridge to advice about what to do on the island. I particularly enjoyed looking at the view from the sitting room in the light summer evenings.

10.0 / 10.0

A warm welcome from lovely hosts. We had everything we needed, including a very well equipped kitchen, for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

We've had a wonderful holiday in Lewis. The property was in a great location, very well equipped and comfortable (also spotlessly clean). The owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I would highly recommend the property.

10.0 / 10.0

The Old Croft House is very clean and comfortable and has everything a guest might want, from a well-stocked kitchen to beach towels, games, maps and some really interesting books about the Western Isles. Jan and Callum are fabulous hosts who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, from tracking down wetsuits for hire to providing delicious, freshly baked muffins. They were hugely helpful and made us feel really welcome - we would definitely recommend The Old Croft House as a place to stay.
