The towels are luxurious and the toiletries are classy. There are even pods provided for the Nespresso machine! The fridge is stocked with essentials, and even some non-essential treats. Just as importantly, I was given a proper warm welcome on arrival. I loved my stay here. PS The eggs were delicious."

10/10 Excellent
"It was a great cottage to spend 4 nights with my family. We attended an event in Stornoway and explored various parts of the island. It’s certainly an easy location to get to from the ferry being only a 5 minute drive away and great for when you’re leaving on the 7 am ferry! The kitchen is well stocked with cooking items and the bedrooms are cozy. The only negative is that’s it’s on a busy road which is sometimes noisy - but not too bad. Titus also easy access to a lovely walking trail down to the beach."

Not a single complaint, only that I had to return to reality. Thank you so much for such an incredible stay!"
