Brilliant self-catering house and lovely owners

River View house is incredibly well-equipped and furnished, and very spacious, bright and cosy (recently renovated, by the look of it). Everything was spotless, and the beds were comfy. Plenty hot water and heating too. Great views of the loch in the distance. We had to phone the owners on a couple of occasions: they were super responsive and came down to the house swiftly. A lovely, kind couple, whom we were happy to meet. Thank you for this extremely pleasant stay! Highly recommend this house.

Terrific stay

We have enjoyed just over a week’s stay in this cottage and it is perfect in every way. Spotless, comfortable, fabulous views, superb shower and great kitchen. Ideally located for sight-seeing and we were lucky enough to enjoy decent weather. Ann is friendly and accommodating and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Our Hebridean Adventure

We loved every moment of our stay at Riverview cottage. It was so clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Location wise it could not have been better and we visited some amazing places. We were blest with superb weather and spent time on some stunning beaches. We saw four golden eagles during the week - sighted two of them from the back garden! We will miss the lovely views from the cottage. The owner,Ann, called round to see us and was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful home and setting

Checking in was so easy. Owner called just after we arrived to check everything was as it should be and to let us know she was available by landline or mobile. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean with everything you could need. A true home from home. The location is also perfect to tour/explore the island an excellent midway base with views to the water and the Callanish Stone Circle, which is walking distance away. Cannot praise this cottage highly enough it was a pleasure to stay in.
