We had a lovely week in this wonderful cottage. This place is really high level of quality. The owner, David, was really kind and always available with fast response to answer our questions.
The cottage is really a luxury place, with a very big kitchen, oven and microwave, big fridge, dishwasher and everything you can need. A nice living room, Two great bedrooms both ensuite and a third room that can either be used as an office or a third bedroom with a sofabed. The main bathroom has a shower, a jacuzzi bath and a sauna.
the master bedroom has a lovely view on the loch. The cottage is well situated to explore the whole island, with 40 minutes for the Butt of Lewis (North) and another 40 minutes to Tarbert (South) depending on the traffic ;). Not much network in the area but a very good wifi in the cottage.
First visit was November 2011 and in 2018 the excellent standards of luxury have not diminished.
Met the owner on arrival and told he is only a phone call away. The visit was trouble free. Early departure on leaving day so would like to say thank you for letting us use your home.
I chose to be here for my 65th Birthday and was not disappointed.
Thank you so much. Dave Wright
We stayed at Abhainn from the end of February into the beginning of March and had an an absolutely brilliant time. It's in a perfect location for getting around the island and very close to the Callanish Standing Stones which are well worth a visit. The equipment levels are excellent with everything you could really need including a washing machine/tumble drier, Full HD Sky TV package, a spa bath and a sauna. David was very polite and went out of his way to be helpful including leaving us a nice selection of cakes as a greeting present! We would definitely stay there again.
My partner booked this as a surprise birthday for me and we couldn't be more impressed with the cottage.
David met us and showed us round the cottage, giving us tips with where to eat and what to do. He was also always on hand should we have needed anything.
The cottage was beautifully equipped. There was also a lovely selection of home baked goodies for us on arrival.
The cottage had everything that you could ask for and was the perfect base for exploring the isle. I especially loved the bathroom and the extensive sky package, which came in extremely handed on the day the storm hit; movies galore.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage and we will most certainly be back.
I booked a weekend at Abhainn Cottage with my partner, initially for her Birthday, but also to pop that all important question!
Upon arrival, we were met by David, the very friendly owner of the cottage, who had also been helping me plan my marriage proposal.
The house was warm, clean and extremely luxurious! We were provided with fresh home baking upon arrival, which was a brilliant perk! David also delivered flowers, champagne, and chocolates to congratulate us, while we were out celebrating our engagement!
Unfortunately the weather was poor, to say the least, during our stay, however, nothing beats coming back and getting the cottage warm with a roaring peat fire!
I simply cannot recommend this cottage enough as a cosy base to explore Lewis and Harris!
Big thanks to David and Kathleen for our unforgetable stay ay Abhainn Cottage!
