About this cottage rental
Slow down, breathe in the fresh Atlantic air, and experience island life from the comfort of a beautifully restored traditional Hebridean cottage in the heart of Calanais on the Isle of Lewis.
Just a short stroll from the world-famous Calanais Standing Stones, Stones Throw Cottage is perfectly placed to explore one of Scotland's most remarkable landscapes. Wake to birdsong, enjoy your morning coffee on the deck overlooking the sea, spend the day discovering white-sand beaches, ancient history and dramatic coastlines, then return to relax beside the wood-burning stove as the evening draws in.
