Cottage review

This cottage is centrally located to visit Lewis. The host was available at all times and there was an informative book at the property. It is fully stocked and has all the amenities you could want. We stayed a week and ate most meals there. If I was to return I would stay there again.

Fantastic Cottage in Great Location

Ann was great host, checking in to ensure all was in order and offer assistance if needed. The cottage was clean and beautifully appointed. Would definitely stay again. Great location to some of the best sites to visit. Only issue was google maps (which Ann informed me about) not recognising the address correctly, but then I just used Breasclete Community Centre and was accurate every time.

Riverview Cottage is a well maintained, cozy, and well-equipped cottage. We spent a week here and couldn’t have been more pleased with the accommodations. The kitchen was very well-equipped. The separate washer and dryer made it easy to catch up with the laundry after a bit of traveling. Located 5 minutes from the Calanais Standing Stones, the cottage is conveniently located to other attractions on the west coast of Harris. While we would recommend doing any major provisioning in Stornoway, the Carloway Community store is only about an 8 minute drive away should you run out of milk or bread. Stornoway itself is an easy 30 minute drive away. We would definitely consider staying at this property again if we returned to Lewis & Harris.

Amazing stay in a gorgeous house!

Starting our holiday on Lewis couldn't have been more welcoming than this place. So we'll looked after and cosy. All facilities you could need are provided. We weren't far from great beauty spots and beaches. Perfect communication from owner. Idyllic in one word.
