From the manager

This quality 5-bedroom house has awe inspiring views towards the town of Stornoway and the landscape beyond. The owners bought the house principally for the views. The house has 5 bedrooms (one en-suite), one other bathroom and a toilet/washbasin in the utility room. There is a large kitchen with dining area and substantial living room. The Master bedroom has a King Sized bed, bedroom 2 has a king sized bed and a single bed as well, bedroom 3 has a double and bedrooms 4 and 5 are twins. There is an infants cot available. The whole configuration is subject to change without notice.

The town is around 5 miles away, the airport about 3 miles and the ferry terminal about 5 miles. Shops, public transport etc are all easily available.

There is a substantial rear garden that has been used for football, barbecues or lazing around while admiring the views that often feature cruise ships passing into the harbour.

The house has been popular in the past with pilots, doctors, engineering staff and contractors working on the island who have often brought their families with them.

It is a perfect house to recuperate after a hard day surfing, trekking, fishing, hiking or enjoying Stornoway's rich culture.
