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.

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.

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!

Wonderful Stay
My mother and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. So quiet and peaceful with the cottage provided with everything you need to make life comfortable. After we left we realised my mother had left behind her hearing aids. We contacted Mairi who posted them that day. They arrived home before my mother!! Thanks for a wonderful visit.

Peaceful Carloway haven
Lithir is an individual 50's bungalow in, for us, a very good location, with the loch immediately over the very quiet road, and the only sounds those of the local birdlife. The accommodation was practical and comfortable, and having use of the garage was very helpful, as we hired a kayak during our stay. The outlook from the bungalow was very scenic, with excellent views from 3 of the rooms. The opening of the new Carloway community shop, only 2 minute's drive away, was a major convenience, as it saved driving back to Stornoway for many daily essentials. The store is extremely well stocked, and I would highly recommend its patronage. We fell in love with Lewis - the coastal scenery is stunning, and the wildlife exceptional - we had very good views of otters, both British eagles, a pod of 8 Orcas, Minke Whales and very much more. All in all, we had a lovely stay here, and are very eager to return.

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!

A fabulous holiday
I'm so glad I found this house when searching for accommodation. From the outset, communication with Mairi & Kenny was spot on. As soon as you enter the house, you can see it's well looked after & spotlessly clean. I found everything I needed in the lovely new kitchen. There was even an air fryer. There was a lovely welcome card, yummy nibbles and fresh flowers waiting for us. A nice touch. The bedrooms are a good size with plenty storage & hanging space for clothes. The beds are comfortable, the bedding soft, lovely soft bath towels and best of all, electric blankets! Carloway is well placed to tour the islands. The setting on the loch is stunning & the stars magical. I would, and have recommended to friends & family. We will definitely book again. Thanks Mairi & Kenny.
