About this property

This traditional crofters cottage is ideally located in the crofting village of Laxay, Lacasaigh in Gaelic. Only eleven miles from Stornoway, Isle of Lewis and thirty minutes to Tarbert, Isle of Harris.
Meadowcroft Cottage offers outstanding views across to the Harris Hills and makes an ideal base to leisurely explore the Hebridean Islands.

Originally built in 1880 this charming cottage has been extended over the years. It has now been completely renovated to a very high standard and offers visitors a very comfortable Hebridean holiday home with all modern conveniences.

Outside is an enclosed patio area, a sun trap, where you can enjoy outdoor dining.

We also have a herd (Blar a Bhard Fold) of pedigree Highland Cattle. They occasionally graze the adjoining croft. They will enjoy watching you as much as you admire them, but are quite shy despite their long horns.

The way of life as you would expect of a crofting village is relaxed, quiet, Hebridean style. Yet if it’s adventure you are looking for there is something for everyone. For a more sedate holiday set your own pace and see what’s on offer.

Helen is a wonderful host

Helen is a wonderful host who delivers a very personal touch. Unfortunately myself and my husband could not go on our trip but my parents went instead. Communication with Helen was great and was lovely to speak to Helen on the phone. My parents had a wonderful trip, the cottage was spotless and beautiful. I shall be booking to stay with Helen again in the future. And my parents would not hesitate to return to the cottage.

Family Holiday

We were met by the owner Helen on arrival. A most charming lady. She gave us a guided tour of the accommodation and left us many complimentary items which were lovely. The accommodation really was 5 Star and had everything we needed for our stay. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone and can guarantee they will have a great stay.

Hebridean tour

We stayed for 4 nights as part of our tour of the Hebrides. Such a well appointed house, immaculately clean. Plenty of space for a family of four. The bed was enormous and so comfortable. Excellent location for exploring all the sights of the island. Easy to find and not too far from the shops in Stornoway. The welcome basket was a really nice touch. We highly recommend!

Spacious and modern.

Helen’s property was stunning. Extremely clean, lots of space, showers were great, beds very comfortable and a good range of kitchen utensils. The property is situated in a great part of Lewis which enables visitors to easily travel around Lewis and Harris.
