The cottage offers all you might need during your vacation. It is decorated in such a lovely way that we will remember it as the most beautiful cottage we have ever stayed.

Not any faults at all. Couldn’t be any better.

Owners, Cottage & Location were perfect. Cottage offered over & above our expectations. Special Place.

A beautifully restored fisherman's cottage in a quiet spot near a beach, exceptionally clean, thoughtfully and extremely well set up so that it felt like a home away from home for the few days we stayed. Catherine and Ian welcomed us, explained the heritage of the cottage, gave us hints about places to visit and provided a generous range of Scottish produce. I highly recommend the cottage.

Nothing at all. It was fantastic.

Superb cottage. Clean, comfortable, very well equipped and well located for everything we wanted to do. Probably the best cottage we have ever had. Ian and Catherine made us feel very welcome!

The cottage was perfect, the hosts Catherine & Ian have gone above and beyond with all the amenities/extras they have provided within the cottage. Ian met us at the cottage on arrival and was most welcoming and gave us some history on the cottage which was lovely. The welcome pack is the most thoughtful and generous I have seen. Although we had no issues on our stay you could tell that if you did the hosts would do everything they could to help you. I would highly recommend staying in Fisherman’s cottage.

This was our first trip to Lewis with our friends. Our hosts Catherine and Ian met us at the cottage with a cheery welcome. We can honestly say The Fishermans Cottage was excellent from the superb decor, the quality towels and linen, and attention to detail. There was nothing they hadn't thought about. The welcome pack was overly generous, with local provisions, even chocolate bars, for us to enjoy. The ensuite bathrooms were stocked with local products. Which left fabulous aromas throughout the house.. we rated this 10 star, and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area, to come and experience their Hebridian hospitality. Thank you both for a memorable stay.

Nothing to dislike, simple as that.

Simply everything was first class. Could not have asked for a better place to stay.

There was nothing to dislike. All was taken care of including a fridge with extras as a surprise. We Also loved the hosts who had a really cool family history and connection to the area and home.

We loved the out of the way nature of the house, exactly what we wanted to get away from town, it was a short walk to the sea, and a long walk along the coast.

Catherine and Ian have thought of everything in there cottage, you can definitely travel light for your stay here and a lovely welcome hamper along with breakfast in the fridge all the facilities you need and more in the house .

The cottage was extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. The owners had equipped it with everything we needed and been very generous with supplies.

Probably the best self-catering accommodation that we have booked through Booking.Com. The cottage is beautifully furnished, comfortable and very well equipped. We absolutely loved it. Whilst not centrally located, Lewis & Harris are small enough for the cottage to be used as a base for exploring both parts of the island. Catherine and Ian were great and generous hosts and made us most welcome. Fisherman's Cottage is an absolute gem.

The hosts Catherine and Ian were absolutely marvelous hosts. Exceptionally friendly and they really did think of everything! The apartment is equipped with everything (!) you need and the attention to every detail in decor and comfort is outstanding.

Not a thing

This was the best appointed cottage of the many we have stayed in, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Almost every need one could think of was met, whether in the kitchen, bathrooms (we always find it convenient to have two bathrooms!) or other rooms. Catherine and Ian, our hosts, met us in person and very kindly showed us around, and also made sure during the week, that we were enjoying our stay. The location is also excellent, a few miles drive from Stornoway, so we were easily able to enjoy the local sights and pristine beaches. A trip with Stornoway Seafari is recommended.

Fisherman’s Cottage is a beautiful and immaculately presented accommodation in the heart of a picturesque island village, near to wonderful beaches and walks, and a short drive to Stornoway and other visitor sites such as the Callanish Standing Stones and Gearrannan Blackhouse Village. So much care and attention has been paid to providing a very comfortable stay, including a delicious welcome pack.

The cottage was superb, decorated perfectly to a very high standard, very comfortable and fully equipped. The hosts welcomed us to the cottage, showed us how everything worked, gave us numerous helpful tips for sight seeing, restaurants, their local knowledge was invaluable. The welcome pack was full of local and very delicious produce, made such a difference as a number of cottages we have stayed at dont even leave a pint of milk. Locally made toiletries were also in the bathrooms. All in all, I cant praise this cottage highly enough. Exceptional cottage and exceptional hosts. thank you for a fantastic holiday. Lovely harbour just a couple of minutes walk and also a gorgeous beach 10 minutes walk
