The Isle of Lewis draws visitors for its dramatic landscapes, wildlife and sense of remoteness. Stornoway, the main settlement, lies 20 minutes away with shops, restaurants and the woodland grounds of Lews Castle to explore. Birdwatchers and those who spend time outdoors will find sea eagles, otters and dolphins regularly in the waters around the island.
Loch View is a detached traditional house positioned to take in views across the water. Inside, it holds three bedrooms—a kingsize on the ground floor, a double and a twin on the first floor—with one shower room, making it suitable for families or small groups. The ground floor living space centres on a woodburner; the kitchen is similarly equipped with a woodburner and has a dining table, electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. Upstairs offers further retreat space. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included; parking for four cars sits on the property. Two small dogs are welcome if kept on a lead, as the surrounding land is sheep country. No smoking indoors.
The house sits on a front garden and comes with practical extras available on request—a travel cot, highchair and stairgate for those visiting with young children.

What guests say
We stayed one week August/September 2022 in this house. It was one of the best locations we visited. The house has a great view on the nearby loch and is in a walk distance from a beautiful beach. It has plenty of room for up to 6 people and is very well equipped. The kitchen has nearly everything you could imagine. Even good baking equipment is provided as well as some outdoor tableware to take to the nearby beach. Very good. We really loved staying there and enjoyed the silence. The looks in the nightly clear sky were absolutely breathtaking. I can recommend the Bernera walk which passes the house and a day trip to St Kilda. The booking experience was very good. Sally was very nice and clear in communication. Everything worked very well. The only issue I had was that I missed some mails in my SPAM folder. But even this could be dealt with very well. Thanks a lot to Sally. If possible we would definitely book again.

Well we have just arrived home in Oxfordshire after a blissful week on Bernera staying at Loch View. From start to finish our visit was spot on, we had excellent communication throughout with Sally, a pack of edible goodies for when we arrived and a very well equipped house. Everything from house binoculars to baking equipment was catered for. The house is 2 mins drive to a perfect little beach where we spent most of our time as have young children. We were lucky enough to see lots of local wildlife and made sure we fitted in a visit to Uig Sands Restaurant. We would absolutely visit again as our children had to be dragged away! Thank you for sharing your house with us.

We’ve just returned from what can only be described a fantastic week at Loch View. The house was immaculate and is very well stocked. The design/layout and the views were phenomenal. The location was exceptional and just a short walk from Bosta beach. We were also treated to many amazing displays of nature with 2 Golden Eagles swooping down from the hills behind on a daily basis and further up the road to a number of Stags and deers. If you want to relax, recharge the batteries this is definitely the place for you. Finally Sally was very attentive and quick to respond, and we would have no hesitation in recommending Loch View and we will definitely be back to stay.

We would thoroughly recommend a holiday in Loch View. Sally was extremely helpful throughout the booking process and continued to look after us throughout the stay. The location of the luxurious cottage was perfect for anyone wanting to experience Bernera and the Isle of Lewis. It was relatively easy to access all the delights and attractions of the local area from here. The property itself was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing break in spectacular surroundings. We particularly enjoyed the tranquillity of the area, the landscape and the opportunity to see some of the wildlife here. One week was just not enough to see everything and we would love to return soon.
