Atlantic View - Cottage on the Isle of Lewis
This stone cottage has been extensively renovated and upgraded to be presented for holiday lets in 2011.
As a family house, it was important to me to do this house justice by completing all work to the highest standard whilst also maintaining the character of the property. This can be seen in the cornicing and other period features, The latest high performance insulation combines with a new central heating system to ensure your comfort all year round.
The cosy lounge has a lovely cottagey feel enhanced by high ceilings deep window ledges and a feature alcove where youll find local interest books and maps. Resting on a slate hearth is a multi-fuel stove since no cottage is complete without dancing flames!
The kitchen is a lovely bright room which is bathed in sunlight all afternoon and evening thanks to 3 windows on 2 walls. We have maintained the cottage feel by fitting shaker style kitchen units in cream under an oak effect worktop.. Leading from the kitchen is a porch where wet outdoor clothes can be stored.
2 sunny bedrooms ensure that you are well rested to make the most of your holiday. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed, built in wardrobe and ensuite shower room and the twin room has versatile zip and link beds which convert from 2 singles to a large king size bed.
The large family sized bathroom has a free-standing shower cubilcle, with powerful thermostatic shower as well as a bath, washhand basin and toilet. You’ll find an electric shaver point here too.

"This is a simple croft house which has been carefully and beautifully restored and furnished with care. The owner had thought of everything and is close if there are any problems. There's nothing missing and even fresh cake had been baked and flowers put in vases. We enjoyed our all too short time here. A fabulously beautiful part of the world, away from urban living and close to the atlantic. High speed wifi will keep you in touch if that's important. Would very happily go back."
"From the moment we booked this Holiday anne made things easy for us, we felt sure this would be a great stay - it was! The Cottage is very well equipped and appointed, spotlessly clean and perfect for a stay on the Isle of Lewis. Nothing is too much trouble for anne & Chris - and as everybody knows everybody on the West Coast, anything you need can be organised. We are returning as soon as we can!"
