Exactly what we hoped

We loved our stay here on Lewis. The house had everything you could need, the coziest kitchen, books and toys for the kids, beach towels, beach things, and the best part, the owners are so lovely and provided so much info on the area and their family history which made it really special. The house is in a beautiful spot and near to a very well stocked community supermarket.

Gorgeous traditional cottage with absolutely everything you need and lovely welcome gift of fresh eggs from Mairi who couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay (arrived during storm Amy). Island was wet and windy but didn't stop us visiting everything, cottage was in an ideal location for so many things of interest and local shop nearby. Co-op in Stornoway was also the best one we've ever been to! We all had a brilliant time in a fab wee cottage.

We had such an amazing time on the Isle of Lewis and renting this cottage greatly enhanced the experience. The family who owns this property were helpful, communicated promptly and the cottage itself was so comfortable and quaint. Added bonus, it seemed to be centrally located for what we wanted to do. I highly recommend renting this property!

Atmospheric home in a beautiful setting

The location is truly beautiful on the lochside and the house is clean, very well equipped and with a real feel of the home's history. Communication with our hosts was excellent from the moment we booked.

Highly recommended

A lovely, comfortable and well-equipped cottage at a beautiful location. Kenny and Mairi were very helpful. The community shop in Carloway was very convenient for groceries. Fantastic beaches are nearby and it is only a short drive to the Calanais Standing Stones. A great base to explore the Isle of Lewis.

Wonderful private cotta

Very clean, perfectly appointed small cottage in quiet location. Close to the highway for access to elsewhere on the island. Hosts were very helpful and responsive, including leaving us a welcome snack. They had a binder full of local activities/recommendations. The kitchen had all the amenities you could wish for. Our stay was so peaceful,..

Wonderful little house in lovely location!

Kenny and Mairi did everything they could to make us feel welcome in their cottage. Lovely welcome gifts on arrival and some great books on walks on the island as well as wildlife were very helpful. The cottage is well located for exploring Lewis and Harris with some great points of interest in the near vicinity. The double bed was very comfortable and the towels luxurious! They had thought of everything. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful cottage stay

Kenny and Mairi were fantastic at communicating and making sure we found Lithir with perfect directions. The home was better than we imagined and the children loved all the hidden gems of toys, games, puzzles, maps, books and more. The views were beautiful and the house so cosy. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Perfect Spot for Traipsing and Exploring

There was nothing missing appointment-wise at Lithir and the setting is just right for exploring all that the Isles of Lewis and Harris have to offer! Communication was timely and smooth and the hosts couldn't have been more helpful and informative. Thank you, Mairi & Kenny for opening your family home!

Quiet and peaceful

The location of the cottage in Carloway is great for exploring the island of Lewis, it’s archeological sites, many walks and hikes. There is a well stocked shop in town for anything you need. The house is cozy and peaceful looking out on the loch in front. The kitchen has good supplies for cooking. It is the perfect place for rest and renewal in the beauty of the western isles, and also as a base for outdoor activities.

unexpected good

We came in late but had a very warm and nice welcom and good and helpful contact with the owner. The house was complete with everything you need, and for the first evening and morning there also was some food present. We had a stay of only 3 nights, but would have liked to stay longer. Hope to come back in future.
