About this house rental

Our spacious well equipped holiday home is in a peaceful sheltered setting with large enclosed garden and fantastic sea views over to Little Bernera and the Atlantic. There are 2 large double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom and a double bed settee in the downstairs lounge if sleeping 8. The second sizeable lounge upstairs has a large corner sofa and patio windows which open onto a Juliet balcony taking full advantage of the views – a great place to chill with a large glass of wine.

The road by the house ends 200 yards further down on a rocky beach – there is no passing traffic, just the odd explorer, so very peaceful. Bosta Beach and the Iron Age House are only two miles away – a very pleasant walk – there are also many other stunning beaches within easy drive. Golden Eagles nest locally and are frequently seen – the area is perfect for nature lovers, ramblers and cyclists alike to explore. Water sports such as surfing and kayaking are also popular actives. Local boat trips are available to the islands or you can visit the nearby Callanish Standing Stones, the Black House village at Gearrannan or travel slightly further afield to the lighthouse at the Butt of Lewis with it's spectacular coastal scenery.

The nearby village of Breacleit has a petrol station and there is also a community centre with cafe, internet services and electric charging points for cars. The main town of Lewis is Stornoway which is a distance of 25 miles (40 minutes drive) and has two large supermarkets to choose from both of which do home deliveries.

Facilities
There are two bathrooms – the downstairs one includes an overhead shower but the ceiling height is a bit low (old part of the house!) so if you’re over 5’8” you might need to crouch a bit to use it! Our well equipped kitchen includes dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, full height fridge freezer and tumble drier (which is in the porch). There is a separate dining room off the open plan kitchen and lounge and a porch for leaving outside clothes, boots etc. As well as the oil-fired central heating there is a wood burning stove downstairs for cosy evenings in.

There are televisions in both lounges as well as the master bedroom so the kids can watch their favourite channels without interrupting yours! We’ve supplied a DVD/CD player along with a selection of videos and CDs as well as a docking station for use with your own mp3 player. Books and games in situ too. Mobile signal is a bit erratic but there is a working telephone box opposite the house just in case all else fails (which hasn’t happened yet!). Free ultrafast fibre WiFi is available in the cottage and Bernera has some of the fastest speeds in the country so no problem downloading anything now.

A cot, high chair and stair gate are available on request. We don’t allow smoking in the house.

    Fantastic house with absolutely beautiful views.It was so peaceful - I wish we could have stayed longer! Good amenities and very comfortable. The view from the upstairs lounge was a highlight, along with a stunning sunset. Would definitely come back to stay again.

    We enjoyed our week in this great house in a remote location. Really lived up to our expectations in every way.Kitchen was had everything we needed.Single track roads to negotiate in this part of the island were not a problem for us.wi-fi was good and plenty to do with lovely beach nearby.

    Lovely property in a beautiful and quiet location. Just sitting and looking at the view from the upstairs lounge was a real treat. The kids loved going down to the beach at the end of the road. Wider Lewis/Harris has a lot to offer. Didn't want to leave.

    8.0 / 10.0
    A great location to visit beautiful beaches and all that Harris and Lewis offer. We had wonderful blue skies as well as rain and wind giving us the fully Hebridean experience. The house was very well equipped, clean and warm. The box of treats and card was a lovely thoughtful welcome. Unfortunately, the woodburning stove was out of action which was disappointing and a couple of other small things (that are easily resolved) have made this a 4 star review but in essence this is a great place to visit.

    The Isle of Lewis is a magical place to visit and this house makes an ideal base to explore the scenery. The property is large and comfortable and very warm with decent views of the sea, and unbelievable night sky views ( this is truely a dark sky location great for astrophotography) Stornoway isn't too far away, but in any case, you won't see many cars while driving around.. The hosts were easily contactable via phone or email, and will try to recify situations if they arise, however the one problem they couldn't fix was the neighbour's barking dog.
    10.0 / 10.0
    This is a very clean, comfortable and warm property. There is ample space even for a large family. We have just returned from a 10 night stay and the house gave us everything we needed. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They are also easy to contact. The VRBO app decided to lose all our correspondence somehow and I got hold of Evelyn straight away, she sent the information directly. There is plenty of parking and a good sized garden. Unfortunately the weather was quite poor during our stay so we weren't able to sit outside. We would highly recommend this property if you need space, comfortable beds, a good view and a quiet location.
