Absolutely fantastic house,. Clean, comfortable and set up with everything you could need and more. The house itself was amazing but the views from the house Absolutely blew us away. You would never tire from looking at the views. Thank you so much to James for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.
Negative:
I actually can't think of any negatives about this house.

Spacious, warm, comfortable house in its own large, grassy grounds with simply spectactular, sweeping views from the sitting room, kitchen, conservatory and balcony (see photos looking over the fence). The house looks directly over the end of sea loch studded with islands, with views right across to the mainland. You can sit in the conservatory, even with the wind howling outside, and feel part of it all. It proved to be an ideal, central base from which to explore all parts of Lewis and Harris - we had comfortable day trips exploring up to the Butt of Lewis and down to Leverburgh via the amazing beaches at Luskaintir. Plus it's only a few miles from Stornaway with its Tesco and Coop supermarkets. There is a local store and fuel at nearby Cameron Terrace. I had my sea kayak and my husband his road bike, so we both also appreciated the hose in the garden for rinsing gear and the washing line for drying. We only had one car but there was lots of space for parking. Dog-owners might want to note that there are sheep grazing around two sides of the property. The local bus runs into Stornoway from 5 minutes walk away (used by one of our party, with bus timetables thoughtfully provided by our host).
Summary: Spectacular views, warm and spacious house, perfect location for exploring Lewis and Harris

Waking up to the view was exceptional.
Lovely House to stay in. Hosts were in contact with anything we needed. Clean neat and tidy. Freedom to roam where you want, when you want. Great walks & Drives.
Negative:
WiFi could be updated, very slow. TV in living room is adequate, when your here to galavant, But could do with a Smart TV.
I Galavant but my Wife isn't able to get out much. So enjoys the peace and quiet away from home, & likes watching TV while knitting. While taking in the stunning views.
Summary: Holiday Home Heaven.

Everything about the property met our requirements and exceeded expectations. It was extremely well stocked, from washing powder to cleaning equipment, even dressing gowns. In fact, the property provided extras that weren’t even mentioned in the description, such as a dvd player (with a great variety of dvd’s too), games, books and binoculars to to take in the fabulous views outside. The additional tourist information was very helpful and the owner was very quick to respond to any questions, with the offer to contact his father who lived locally if needed.
Negative:
Nothing
Summary: Photos do not do this property justice. It is a great location, a very spacious property. cosy and warm with all the ame
