    There is nothing we didn't like, only our own lack of research, we thought there would be local shops around. Our hosts left plenty to eat.

    This is a little hidden gem .. Location is ideal, from here you can visit the stunning beaches, at Harris, you not to far from Stornoway, this is where shops are located to get supplies, and some great places to eat. The cleanliness of this self catering was spot on 100%, you have full use of the TV ( hubby loved catching up on footie) The garden area is ideal to relax, which I took full use off. There is nothing that the host would not do to make our stay even more special

    Nothing.

    You have part of the house to yourself, an upstairs and downstairs which is very different from most other B&Bs. It's a good location to travel to tourist attractions in both Lewis and Harris. It's quiet and clean. Comfortable bed and lounge area downstairs.

    A little far from the Stornaway shops etc so you need to be organised to avoid unnecessary trips.

    Great welcome and communication from Mirko. A lovely self contained unit with great attention to the little details which made the stay very comfortable. Clean and well maintained in a natural location in betweenStornaway and Tarbert. Loved to be able to use the washing machine and hang washing out on the line. Lots of things for a continental breakfast.

    Great place to stay in the perfect, stunning location.. Everything was superb - hospitality, warm welcome from Mirko, a lot of great recommendations on what to visit (thanks for Bosta Beach - it is beautiful!!!). Very comfortable rooms, beds, living room. Warm and cozy, despite the rainy weather outside. Good choice of different food for breakfast, tea, coffee - just everything we needed! You can really feel like at home.

    Mirko and Janet were very nice hosts with lots of experience, all the amenities you could wish for were there (I mean really everything!), the rooms have lots of space, you get an entire apartment in their home, which feels super cosy with access to garden, laundry room etc. Everything you can want for breakfast is provided generously. The icing on the cake were the sweetest and cuddliest cats! If you are thinking about booking a stay, you don’t need to hesitate here!
