Guest Reviews

• Martina (9/5): Staccare da tutto - La camera era accogliente e pulitissima con una bellissima finestra con vista cavalli. La famiglia è stata gentilissima! Ci hanno lasciato utilizzare la cucina e ci hanno indicato una comodissima lavanderia nella zona. Dopo cena, è super consigliata la passeggiata di una ventina di minuti fino alla vicina spiaggia. Il posto è comodissimo per raggiungere Callanish sul presto ed evitare ogni folla. A 5 minuti di macchina c'è anche un community shop con lavanderia a gettoni, alimentari, souvenirs e possibilità di pranzare.

• Dawn (10/5): Great setting, people and birds! I'm visiting the islands for bird watching - Fantastic location and hosts. Very helpful & friendly. Brilliant to chat to over breakfast. It's a working croft so it was lovely to see and meet the animals too. I will definitely want to return if I visit the island again. Thank you 😊🙏

• Josh (10/5): Great hosts with lovely dogs - Great hosts with great dogs :) felt like a home away from home
• Alessandro (9/5): - Colazione tranquilla e proprietari gentilissimi
• brian (10/5): - Great base,home from home, lovely hosts.
• Julien (10/5): - Les hôtes sont des gens formidables. La chambre est parfaite. Je vous le recommande.
• Mareike (6/5): Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Insel. - Das Zimmer war gemütlich eingerichtet, das Gastgeberpaar kommunikativ und nett. Sie haben mir wesentlich mehr Infos über die Sehenswürdigkeiten, praktische Tipps für die Fortbewegung vor Ort und sogar eine Übersicht über alle 25 Callanish-Steinkreise gegeben als das tourist office in Stornoway. Für die aus Versehen zu wenig gebuchte Nacht haben sie mir super Hilfestellung gegeben, indem sie mir eine Übernachtung in Stornoway organisiert haben, wodurch ich 55 € Taxi morgens zur Fähre gespart habe. Das Frühstück bestand wegen der vorliegenden Hygieneerlaubnis "nur" aus Cerealien - ok, nicht mein normales Frühstück, aber gesund und gut sättigend. Die Mandelmich dazu habe ich mir selber gekauft statt der angebotenen Kuhmilch. Aber am letzten Tag zu sagen, dass das Trinkkakaopulver alle ist, diesen Beweis schottischen Geizes hätte ich nicht gebraucht XD
• Amandine (10/5): Parfait - Vous êtes accueilli directement chez Keith et Sharon au sein de leur foyer et on est parfaitement accueilli. La chambre propre sent particulièrement bon. Si vous aimez les animaux, vous êtes aux bonnes endroits! C’est calme malgré tout, on a dormi jusqu’au matin.
• Doineann (8/5): I would like to visit again. - The Beach Is Outstanding! I Should have phoned to ask for a booking in time, my bad :) x
• Angelika (10/5): Worth recommending - Lovely place, everything clean, convenient location, close to nearby attractions, very friendly hosts
• RipamontiPB (9/5): Piacevole - Pulizia della struttura e cordialità dei proprietari Colazione poco assortita
• dorothée (10/5): - Nous avons été parfaitement accueillis ! Ce fut un grand plaisir ces deux nuits nous avons vraiment passé un bon séjour.
• Steve (10/5): - The couple was very welcoming and friendly
• Will (10/5): A surprisingly unique and welcoming experience - The incredibly warm and kind hospitality. Sharon and Keith rescue animals in need and are willing to educate interested guests about this. We got to feed the horses and spend time with their lovely dogs and cats. Very close to a beautiful Hebridean beach too. This was all an unexpected bonus and we would love to return again. The fact we could only spend one night there. We’ll be back.
• David (10/5): Owners were kind and helpful, extremely knowledgeable about life on Lewis -
• Ros (9/5): Superb - The Location is ideal to explore the top of Lewis or even Harris, its in between with a good road next to it. Breakfast was tea/coffee with Cereals The hosts were very welcoming and friendly with lots of ideas of where to go and explore
• Ralph (9/5): Relaxing stay in a lovely environment - Very welcoming hosts who really looked after us
• Ron (7/5): good and educational, interesting to see an actual croft in action - With the loss of power, it was nice still have a coffee in the morning, no fault of the owners, power company caused the failure as well as on Skye.
• Tadeja (1/5): Avoid at all costs - Absolutely nothing. We fled from there. I don’t even know where to start. At the unprofessional and not very presentable host (owner of the house that lives with you basically), who did not hold her promise to keep the heating on, even though it is advertised that the property has heating, we asked beforehand if the heating will be working and were reassured the whole house will be warm, even though that was not the case and we were told that we should probably keep our sweaters on as it drops to 16 degrees or so during the night (while winds are blowing strongly outside and it is a cold November night and I bet you it gets colder than that even). Or should I talk about the cats and dogs (great dane for example), that live with you and the whole house smells like dog food and wet dog hair. But those are details one can overlook to a certain extent - if only the accomodation that you paid 100€ for (which is absolutely outrageous and ridiculous for the actual facilities provided - and the state they are in) would have kept the promise of keeping you safe and warm. The house looks sketchy, the host sketchier even. And as it turns out, even though we have fled, called the host 5 minutes after departure (as we definitely didn’t want to be in her house and enter any dispute), we have kindly asked for a partial refund - since we didn’t stay there and needed to search for new accommodation in the city 30 minutes away, she completely dismissed it and didn’t want to fairly approach the matter. It was a promise on her part that has not been kept - and it is the only reason why we have left, to protect ourselves from getting sick while sleeping in a cold uncomfortable room and have the rest of our travel ruined. We have made a grave mistake booking this accommodation and I would strongly advise everyone to stay far away from this host, but this was our bad judgement - I have to mention that we are utmost disappointed by the lack of help in this matter by Booking.
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - Pleasant stay, they immediately put me at ease and were very helpful with my trip by giving me information. very clean room.
• Anne (5/5): Passable - We did not get to stay in this location, but our interactions with the staff were helpful.
• Annie (10/5): House was fine and comfortable and everything as listed. Hosts were helpful. - Property as listed. Very comfortable. Pretty view of the horses from my room a couple times. Public transportation on the island is available but limited so check ahead.
• Monika (9/5): We felt extremely welcome and at home from the very first minute. - We loved the hosts and their friendly dogs and cats from the very begining.
