Beachfront holiday rental in Isle of Lewis

Norman and Leona are very friendly and great hosts. The cottage was cosy clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is looking out to the most beautiful beach and scenery. 5min walk to beach. If you like peace and tranquility this is the place to stay. It's location is ideal to travel to other parts of the island. Norman and Leona are around if you need help with anything but they do not intrude on your privacy. I would definitely recommend to stay here. Thank you Norman and Leona we had an amazing holiday.

An absolutely stunning house, with everything you could need. A great location for exploring an amazing island. Una was so helpful with any questions I had and responded very quickly. As a family of 6 (2 pensioners, 3 adults and on teenager) we found the space worked great and the location was lovely.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. David and Jayne have lovingly restored this little house into a great 2 bed holiday home. It is thoughtfully laid out for self catering and a joy to stay in. Plenty of space, not too much clutter and it’s super. clean. Would recommend to anyone. We loved our stay and were sad to leave!

Absolutely stunning location, helped by the most amazing weather. Beach at end of garden. Beautiful wild swimming spot, safe sloping beach. Bed linens and kitchen equipment lovely quality. Slept really well. Walking distance to Reef beach, mile long stretch of white sand. Perfect get away and the dog loved it too.

Clean, spacious, warm and quiet home on a quiet residential road. The property overlooks a loch joining the sea and is great for calm and quiet. Mac was very responsive and we had no problems. We loved the space and it was a well equipped kitchen which is not always a given. WiFi was great if you need it and the heating etc was all straightforward and effective. Lovely having two bathrooms too. Near various historic sites. And also pretty beaches (20-30 mins drive), and a lovely play park if you have kids near Eoropie Beach.

We fell in love with the house and its surroundings. The house is very clean inside and out, the beds were excellent. We came to calm down, rest and enjoy the unique nature. We spent a happy week here. We highly recommend the place. -Gerda and Kari

This is an absolutely stunning location and the house was very comfortable, and good value for money. There were lots of nice touches; we brought our two year old and there was a cot and highchair available as well as toys, movies and buckets/spades/beach toys. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. A short walk to several beautiful beaches. Carol Ann was very kind, and responded quickly to messages. Would highly recommend this lovely stay.

All positive comments about this cottage . We had 4 days here to explore Lewis before moving on to Harris . Wonderful compact cosy cottage with fabulous situation looking over a quiet wee bay . Photos on website don’t really do it justice . Very cosy well equipped compact cottage . Immaculately clean and everything you could want provided for . We were met by Tony who explained the workings of the stove and tv etc and gave recommendations of eating places etc . He was immediately responsive when we had a query over the workings of the oil stove . If the weather had been kinder we could have sat out looking over the quiet wee bay but had a lovely walk along it and beyond . We found it a great base to explore Lewis which we loved . Standing stones , black houses, Uig and Tolsta beach and Ness and the Iolaire memorial included . Explored a lot and learned a lot about the island and its history . Right next to the wee airport but we hardly heard a plane . Handy for Stornoway facilities

We adored Sandy’s place. Did not want to leave. The location is brilliant right on the beach and only a short walk to a lovely pub with brilliant food, where we spent a few evenings in front of the fire and getting to know the locals. Sandy was a brilliant host, very flexible when it came to check in and out and so friendly. We also loved our morning and evening fuss of Nell the dog. Everything is high spec in the house linen and towels and it had everything we needed for the best stay. By far the best AirBnB we have stayed in! Thank you!

The most beautiful view from a holiday home we have ever seen, we really didn’t want to leave! The owners have thought of everything, from every cooking utensil, to loads of storage space, even deep drawers in the bathroom to store toiletries, beautiful cosy decor, very clean, very peaceful, just the sound of birds, most relaxing place we have ever stayed. We would have booked 2 weeks but we did a last minute holiday and had to move location after 1 week. Loads of info about local excursions and amenities in the area and also a house manual. Thankyou to the owners for quick response when messaged and thinking of everything one may need for a relaxing holiday.

The host, Arthur, is the sweetest man and greets you upon arrival and explains the pods. There is a "shed" with toys and "extras" like a washer and dryer for guests. The pods truly have everything you need and more! The fridge was stocked for us and we felt right at home! The loch across the road was beautiful. It was peaceful and an amazing stay. We loved it and cannot recommend the pods enough. Truly, this is a beautiful slice of heaven and the hosts are truly humble and kind folks. We felt right at home and our son had a lovely grassy fenced in area to run and play. We loved being so close to historical ruins, the main town for shopping/meals, and just a wee bit of a drive for the beaches. The island itself is spectacular. The hosts have a great book they put together of all things of the island - of sites, restaurants, shops, and the like. So you will know what to do even if you forget your travel book!

We stayed in this house as a party of five (parents + two teenagers + grandpa), and found the house perfectly laid out for a group. Each bedroom has its own en-suite, which was so convenient, and the living area and kitchen had plenty of seating for us to congregate around. The washer and dryer were super helpful for doing laundry (a rack and small fans are provided too, to finish off any clothes still damp from the condensation dryer). We didn't do any super complicated cooking, but the cooking we did was easy with the double oven, stovetop, and dishwasher. The view is unbeatable. Like just something from a postcard. We'd sit down in the morning and mean to turn something on the TV and end up staring out the window instead. We were there during a blustery GALE and the house was still completely airtight and snug, no drafts or anything. Uig is a bit more far-flung (although it has a couple restaurants and a shop), so be sure to plan for groceries and drives accordingly.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Eranca cottage. It is in a beautiful location with superb views. The attention to detail in the cottage was faultless. I very much appreciated the fresh flowers in the lounge. Our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. A wonderful holiday. Thank you.

Magz is an amazing hostess and went out of her way to feed us a 6 star breakfast every morning! The variety of delicious homemade food on offer from breads and cakes to croissants and jams … and I love how she introduced us to the local fare like Scottish oatcakes and crowdie. She was also very informative about places to visit on the island. The only drawback I could find was that the sitting /lounge area was somewhat tight (for 2) and certainly would not be suitable for 4 people (even though the 2 double bedrooms can comfortably accommodate 4).

What a fabulous place! The sun room (as we called it) was a fabulous place to sit and watch the view. Scalpay is a beautiful island and the Lighthouse is well worth a walk. We loved staying here and would happily stay here again. The grey bedroom had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and my back didnt hurt in the morning, which is rare. Thank you Kirsteen.

The pod was first class, very clean and well appointed. I wasn't sure what to expect from the 2 ring plug in hob, but I needn't have worried. It was as good as my hob at home. Such a beautiful and peaceful location in a perfect spot to tour all the nearby islands. We got a break in the weather and managed a swim in the sea at Eriskay followed by a gin and bowl of chips at the Politician (Whisky Galore fame). We would definitely recommend Emma's pods to family and friends and hope to return for longer in the future.
