  • "Loch View is beautifully presented and cleaned to an extremely high standard."

    We were very comfortable here for our stay as Sally has thought of everything needed, especially the kitchen utensils and implements. We also very much appreciated the welcome basket. Sally was very prompt to contact us with any issues and was very considerate in checking that we had all we needed during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Loch View and won’t hesitate to return.

  • "When we walked through the door of Loch View, we immediately felt happy: the house is beautiful, spacious and full of light and it was spotlessly clean."

    The view onto the loch is beautiful and the location is very peaceful. On our first evening there, we had a phone call from the owner, who wanted to find out if everything was as expected and if there were any problems. She made us feel very welcome to call her during our stay if we wanted. This is a host who displays genuine concern with the comfort of her guests and it was as welcome as it is unusual. She is also a good source of local knowledge, as she clearly loves the island and knows it very well. We had a great time at Loch View, were sad to leave and definitely want to go back.

The property

Loch View is a lovely house near Bosta beach on the island of Bernera, Isle of Lewis.

The property has a woodburning stove, stunning loch views, and an open-plan, ground-floor living area, making it perfect for families or groups of friends on a scenic retreat in the Outer Hebrides.

When you enter Loch View, you'll find three bedrooms: a ground-floor double with an en-suite (including a bath, shower over, heated towel rail, basin, and WC), another double, and a twin room.

All rooms are tastefully decorated.

There's also a shower room with a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, basin, and WC.

The heart of the home is the open-plan living area, with its underfloor heating and woodburning stove.

The well-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing home-cooked meals to enjoy at the dining table.

The utility room has a tumble dryer and washing machine for added convenience.

Outside, you can enjoy the fresh air and take in the tranquil surroundings.

Whether you're starting your day with a cup of coffee or ending it with a glass of wine, this outdoor space is sure to be a favourite spot during your stay at Loch View.

The Hebrides are a paradise for nature lovers, with wild and remote landscapes, home to red deer, golden eagles, otters, and seals.

Looking out to sea, you may spot orcas, basking sharks, and dolphins.

Lewis and its neighbouring islands are renowned for their stunning beaches.

Enjoy a picnic, Loch View provides all the extras, and visit Bosta, less than a mile away, or travel further afield to Harris, famous for its beaches, especially Luskentyre, Seilebost, Huishinish, and Scarista.

The island of Lewis has a host of historical sites, including the ancient and iconic Callanish Standing Stones, which predate Stonehenge, and the Carloway Broch, an Iron Age structure over 2,000 years old.

Lews Castle is a perfect day out; explore the museum and grounds and stop off for lunch at the on-site café.

For a glimpse into more recent Hebridean history, visit the Arnol Blackhouse, a traditional Lewis thatched house that showcases how life once was on the island.

For a great meal out, try Uig Sands, which specialises in fish and shellfish (bookings recommended), or opt for the popular Italian in Stornoway, La Balena, known for its large portions.

For something a bit different, Crust Like That serves up delicious pizzas from a shipping container at Achmore in the summer, moving to Stornoway Distillery in the winter.

If you're in Stornoway, Becketts and Sons offers a great breakfast or brunch, with home baking and good coffee.

No visit to the islands would be complete without exploring one of its distilleries.

Visit Stornoway Distillers for their innovative gin, or head to Abhainn Dearg Distillery (pronounced Aveen Jarræk, meaning Red River in English) located in Uig on the Isle of Lewis.

Make your Scottish journey truly unforgettable with a stay at Loch View.
