Aird Uig accommodation from AU$566

Our stay at this fabulous cottage was fantastic. The property was spotless on arrival and there was everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The location meant that access to Lewis and Harris were easy and what a great view. It’s clear a lot of thought and care has been given by the owners to ensure a great stay. Thanks for a great few days. We need to stay longer the next time.

This was our second holiday at this cosy, homely cottage. Mairi is so thoughtful - everything was provided, and there was also a lovely welcome pack on our arrival. Beds are very comfortable, and this location is incredibly quiet, so you are guaranteed a perfect night's sleep. The wildlife on Lewis is amazing - this year we actually watched Black-throated Divers courting on the loch whilst sat at the dining table, and then 3 Cuckoos in a chase around the trees in the front garden, plus Corncrakes calling at night. Amazing. This year we brought our kayaks, and I have to say that Lithir is about as good as it gets as a kayaking location. You can store your kayak in the garage on its trolley, just roll down the drive, then the slipway is about 30 metres along the road. You can then explore the inner loch if the weather's dodgy, otherwise paddle out beyond Carloway harbour and the world's your oyster. Also worth a mention is the local Carloway Community Shop and café. This is about 2 minutes away and provides pretty much everything you'll need, with very friendly and helpful staff, and saving you driving back to Stornoway for a groceries top-up. All in all, if you want Hebridean hospitality in the best location for exploring Lewis, come to Lithir.

Amazing cosy compact accommodation - immaculately clean and very helpful hosts - David was particularly helpful with information and assistance when our ferry was cancelled due to storm Kathleen. Beds very comfortable and the added touch of assorted cereals and goodies went down a treat. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED XX
