  • "The cottage was beautiful and very well maintained inside and out."

    It had everything you could need for an amazing break on Lewis. The rooms were so comfortable with amazing views in every direction. We had such a brilliant break, in part because the cottage was so lovely to stay in. Reading a few of the guest book comments it's clear our opinion is shared with others too. There wasn't a DVD player, though it was clear there had been one at some point and it was included in the listing. It would have been helpful to have one, as we'd brought movies with us, but it was just a small thing and not a critisism. It was such a lovely stay and we'd definately recommend it to others.

  • "It is a wonderful property."

    We missed some essentials though. Like a vacuum cleaner. And with a great stove like that, you might want to add some cooking materials like a scale, rolling pin and larger oven dishes. The WiFi code provided didn’t work, but we managed to get WiFi by scanning the QR code on the router. Unfortunately we couldn’t connect the tv with it, so we couldn’t use the facilities like Netflix/youtube provided. But all in all it was a great house with outstanding views. Not to far from a lovely town where you can get your groceries. We had a great time there.

  • "We returned to Dunraven for two weeks, having stayed around the same time last year and loved it."

    Lovely accommodation, beautiful setting, well-placed to access the rest of Lewis/Harris and its history and attractions. We enjoyed walking, trout fishing, the numerous beaches, Lews Castle grounds (and coffee shop - even open on Sunday!). The property owner was very welcoming and keen to make sure we had everything we needed.

  • "Lovely house in a very peaceful location."

    Had everything we needed, and was all very clean and everything was in good condition. Location halfway down Lewis made it easier for seeing all points of interest in both the North and South, as well as only being around 20 minutes drive from Stornoway.

  • "Lovely cottage, exquisite furnishings and trimmings, well equipped and in brilliant location ideal for exploring Lewis and Harris."

    Only drawback was having to put the whole house heating on for the towel rail in bathroom, perhaps an independent electric towel rail would be cheaper.

  • "The cottage is top quality accommodation with everything you could possibly need."

    Sitting on the patio with your morning coffee is priceless, with great views and perfect peace and quiet. The location is ideal to explore North and South of the Island. We had some problems with our car during our stay and to say the owner went above and beyond to help us out is an understatement. Would definitely recommend and we would happily stay again.

    It had everything and was very comfortable. It is positioned roughly central so was pretty easy to get everywhere on the island. Everything was of a good standard. From the cosy coal fire to the wifi. We would definitely return when passing this way again.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Dunraven."

    The cottage was clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed for a week self-catering in Lewis. The kitchen is very well equipped including a range cooker. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the double bedroom has a fabulous en-suite wet room. We found Dunraven to be the perfect base to explore the delights of Lewis and Harris and would definitely stay there again the next time we're visiting the islands.

    The beds could be wider and the heating system could need an upgrade, we just turned the heater off every day, it was simply too hot, but a winter/summer automatic would be nice.

  • "Lovely well appointed cottage in convenient location for exploring both Lewis and Harris."

    Has beautiful views across the loch. Suggestions for improvement would be around the crockery (quality is good but only 6 plates) and similarly quantity of cutlery. The knives/peeler aren't very sharp. No cloths apart from one sponge. The limited pack of 6 dishwasher tablets looks miserly and is unnecessary (we're not going to waste them). So basically cottage is very good but a little bit let down by the kitchen equipment. Could also do with a footstool in the lounge.

  • "We had (for our 3rd time on Lewis) a great holiday – with sunny weather!"

    The cottage is well placed for touring the Isle. Being relatively central it’s within easy reach for Stornaway and with good runs to UIG, Ness and Tarbet. The cottage is excellent and was well appointed and our only comment is could there be more detailed instructions about how to turn the heating/boiler down/off. It was very warm. This year for the first time we visited Lews Museum which we think is great, informative and highly relevant to the people and culture of Lewis.

The property

Stornoway 12 miles.

Enjoying a superb setting alongside the picturesque Loch Erisort, on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, is this attractive detached cottage.

Ideal for families or couples travelling together, the cottage offers extremely well-presented accommodation and whilst it is suitably remote it still offers easy access to a wealth of activities, making it the perfect location.

Inside, there is a warm and welcoming sitting room with beautiful furniture positioned around a wonderful open fire and a feature window showcasing some incredible views of the nearby loch.

This is an especially appealing spot and is somewhere where you can chill out with friends and loved ones, get warm and cosy by the fire and take in the ever-changing panoramic views from the windows.

If you’re feeling peckish then step into the stylish, fully fitted kitchen which has everything you could possibly need to rustle up some fantastic food for your holiday party.

Leading off from the kitchen is an elegant dining area with a rustic dining table, all set up ready for you to sit down, enjoy some communal dining time and make the most of spending quality holiday memories together.

The bedrooms are wonderfully appointed with stylish furnishings adding a chic finishing touch to the rooms.

The master bedroom has French doors opening onto a patio area and a sumptuous en-suite shower room, making it the perfect place to wake up in the morning.

The adjoining double bedroom is just as attractive a space to spend time in and once again has stunning views from the windows.

The cottage is as charming outside as it is on the outside with fenced gardens and a slate patio area, so take your pick of what views you want to take in, grab a drink (and maybe a jumper – this is Scotland after all!) and breathe in that intoxicating Hebridean air and relax; this is what holidays are made of.

Getting out and about is a must when you’re staying at Dunraven with a whole host of activities on the doorstep.

Take a walk along the Hebridean Way, a 200 mile stretch of some of the most beautiful scenery you’ll find anywhere and a great way to immerse yourself in the islands’ culture while getting some fresh air.

If you want to find out about the wealth of wildlife on the islands then pay a visit to North Harris Eagle Observatory, Bunavoneader Whaling Station and the Callanish Alpacas, all less than an hour’s drive from the cottage.

Tarbert is just a short distance away and Stornoway is also nearby and both are well worth a visit.

A lochside retreat awaits with a visit to Dunraven.

The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway.

About the location

STORNOWAY

Arnol 14.5 miles; Callanish Stones 16 miles.

Stornoway is the only town in the Outer Hebrides and is a bustling and growing area with a busy working harbour, a great selection of shops selling local gifts including Harris Tweed, leisure facilities and wonderful award-winning restaurants selling locally sourced food of the highest quality. Lewis is a place where the lilting Gaelic language is spoken everywhere! Visitors to the town will find plenty to keep them occupied, the magnificent Lews Castle Grounds and the iconic Lews Castle, many good museums and art galleries and also a smart golf course and clubhouse. The large, quiet sandy beaches are close by and provide visitors with wonderful views and the town itself forms a great base for a holiday exploring the unique islands that form the Outer Hebrides. On the north west side of Lewis you can visit the village of Arnol with its Blackhouse Museum, an unmissable visit for anyone wanting to understand the way of life that was once widespread in Lewis. Carloway Broch is nearby and is another fascinating landmark and incredibly well preserved. The Callanish Stones from the Neolithic are also well worth visiting. The whalebone arch and numerous Iron Age dwellings on stunning Bosta beach make for great days out. The friendliness of the local people will astound visitors to the islands and you cannot fail to be impressed with the genteel and contented pace of life you will encounter here.

Note: Though electricity is included in the rent, electric for charging cars is not included in the rental. Note: Please bear in mind that this property is located on an island and therefore only accessible by plane or ferry.
