The cottage was impeccably maintained and clean throughout. Tastefully decorated and comfortable. The shower is amazing also.

No complaints.

No 21 had everything you needed for a great stay. Light and spacious for a wee cottage but definitely cozy too.

Having to leave to come home!

The cottage is absolutely beautiful, in a stunning setting, with excellent facilities, and lots of beautiful little touches. The host really has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and cosy. Full information was provided in the cottage on how to use every appliance, as well as a wealth of information on local and island attractions and places to eat etc. Also very usefully, a lot of information on places to eat and visit locally was sent through electronically prior to our arrival to enable planning, which was great. Check in and out was smooth and contactless with a keysafe, and Donald checked on us with a message a couple of days into our stay in case we needed anything. I think this was the cleanest place I have ever stayed in. Everything is brand new. Furnishings and decor are perfect. We especially loved the sky lights, cosy throws for sitting watching TV or reading in the armchairs, and cute yard space with lights and seating to enjoy the surroundings. Sitting out with a coffee at sunrise listening to the wildlife was amazing. Thank you Donald for excellent communication throughout, and for a fantastic week in your adorable cottage!

There is genuinely nothing we could fault.

The cottage itself is exceptionally renovated with so much attention to detail and high quality furnishings and decor. It had everything you could need, including lovely toiletries. Many of the pictures and pottery in the cottage are made on the island. We had a good lunch at Port of Ness, a great pub tea at the Cross Inn, which is just an easy half hour walk away and has lovely staff, great Guinness and a good menu. I loved the gin tour at the Harris gin distillery. We especially liked all the beautiful beaches that are everywhere. We enjoyed Lews castle museum, which also has a lovely cafe. From there it’s a short walk into Stornoway. On the first night, there were deer behind the cottage, which are beautiful to watch. On the final night I watched the aurora borealis from the enclosed garden. On one of our drives we saw a pair of golden eagles and from the lighthouse we saw seals and many different birds. We felt the cottage was perfect in terms of location, comfort and as a beautiful base to explore.

We’ve previously stayed in cottages which could be listed as good, alright and downright awful. No21. didn’t meet any of these. It was an exceptional home from home. To just walk through the door and see the property and knowing this is where you’ll be staying makes the journey far north worth every mile travelled. Donald has thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as can be even if it is wild weather outside. Donald”s attention to detail also went beyond the property. Whether it was local information or relating to the cottage he was available at all times. We can’t thank him enough and this review doesn’t justify how great no.21 is.

I can't think of anything here :)

We had such a lovely time at this beautifully decorated cottage, exactly as shown in the pictures. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home! Donald, is an incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive host. He was always available for any questions or issues, and even made sure to pump up the radiators manually when the temperatures here in Scotland suddenly dropped, which we really appreciated. The cottage is perfectly located, close to the stunning Butt of Lewis and several breathtaking beaches. It was such a nice and cosy feeling to come home after a long day outside. We felt so comfortable during our entire stay, and the serene surroundings made it all the more special. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and peaceful getaway!

Nothing, I think you’d be hard pushed to find faults with this cottage

Everything about the property was perfect, as a builder with 50 years experience in the trade I always like to see the standard of the modernisation of properties we go to, the standard of work carried out at this cottage was exceptional. It has everything you’d need whether it’s for a short stay or a long stay. Anyone looking for a nice well equipped cottage need look no further than No 21, it is exceptional. The property owner was on hand in case you had any queries, thank you Donald

Location wise it is very north in the island so to get anywhere you do have to drive quite a bit just to get to the main loop road.

We absolutely loved how cosy and comfortable the house was and how close it was to the local beach!

21 is an absolutely perfect hideaway cottage, in a great location for North Lewis. Great care has been taken to provide everything you might need - facilities and fittings were all high quality, well thought out and everything was spotlessly clean. Donald was a terrific host - great communication and very welcoming. Highly recommend!

We loved it!

This is a very special property, so thoughtfully designed with every modern comfort while still retaining it’s character & charm. Every consideration has been made to ensure guests have everything they would need for a perfect stay. So clean, bright & modern - even has an outdoor patio to enjoy the amazing sunsets. Great communication from the owner Donald, who was so kind & helpful & gave us lots of information on places to visit/ local amenities etc. The location was ideal for us, as it was in a village with a wonderful local store (that sells everything!) & a treasure trove of a charity shop! It is also close (5-10min drive) to Port of Ness/ Butt of Lewis/ Eoropie Dunes Beach & Ness Heritage Centre. Also some good walking trails nearby. Great base from which to explore the Island.

Nothing to add here as we were very happy with every aspect of this booking.

My husband and I are just back from a wonderful 4 night stay at this lovely cottage. Donald had kindly sent an emails in advance of our arrival with information regarding the local services and he provided us with the keysafe number for easy access on arrival. The cottage was recently renovated to a very high standard and the decor was very tasteful. Very clean and tidy. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom. Comfortable bed. Catered for all of our needs. Will be recommending this cottage to our family and friends. Thank your Donald!

Fantastic cottage, beautifully finished, excellent attention to detail, everything has been well thought out, all self catering needs are covered. Perfect for two, I would say it's actually better than the pictures show. There are a couple of eating out options nearby and a grocery store with everything you need for a short stay.
