"We had a fantastic time at Shore Lodge and the hosts were so helpful and accommodating, even allowing a later check out as our ferry was late afternoon."
There was also a delicious graze box with fresh Brie, salami, fruits and crackers which was perfect as we arrived really late at night. We loved the hot tub after a day of exploring the islands. There was everything you could need in a holiday home , finished to a really high standard and decorated beautifully. Highly recommend and definitely will be back.

"Shore Lodge is a first class venue to stay in Lewis."
Every need was catered for, plus some additional luxuries for an eventful stay. The modern design had the wow factor and was a pleasure to use as a base as it was located in an ideal place to explore the islands. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming, providing us with places of interest only known by locals. An amazing place to stay and would definitely recommend it to other holiday makers.

"It was a pleasure to arrive at Shore Lodge on a very wet and windy February night."
I was met at the door just to make sure I was comfortable and knew where everything was. A delightful and imaginative welcome pack meant I could relax immediately. The Hot Tub area is very private and perfect for watching the night skies. Lots and lots of stars and a very clear moon... no northern lights this time. Loved my time here; comfortable, spacious with a very well thought out interior throughout.

"I would highly recommend Shore Lodge for the perfect holiday location."
The cleanliness & comfort were second to none. It is an amazing home with lots of glass to show off the lovely views. The owner is so helpful and friendly and is very knowledgeable about places you can visit on the Island. The hot tub was fun. The bed and bedding were luxurious. Everything you need for a special holiday. Thank you so much from the both of us.

"We had a wonderful week in this beautifully designed and furnished 5* holiday home."
It has everything you could wish for. Lovely view out of the front which is all glass. Let’s in so much daylight. The hot tub in the back is great during the evening after a day out exploring the fascinating local area. Rosemary and Mark the owners are a delight and do everything to make your stay enjoyable. Scrumptious grazing box welcomes you on your arrival and they are happy to help with any local information re places to visit. We couldn’t believe it when our last day arrived. Still so much left to do. We will definately return to Shore Lodge.

"Lovely fresh cottage accurately described close to STORNOWAY with costal views."
Comfortable bed and seating, kitchen with smart appliances and all the peace and quiet one could wish for! Hostess really so friendly and warm and being brought up in Lewis had bags of local knowledge about every corner of the island - just a gem!

"Shore Lodge is beautiful, restful, calming."
The view is wonderful, even on a dull day, and those floor to ceilings windows really make the place. Even though it is a 1-bedroom place, it is so spacious and airy that you’d expect there to be at least 2 bedrooms. The decor is so clean and laidback, which just adds to the overall feeling of calm. I really appreciated Rosemarie’s welcome grazing box, which kept me going for several days (also the bread and milk, etc). I would definitely aim to return here, and hopefully for longer than my fantastic week.

"Shore Lodge is the perfect home from home."
It is comfortable, relaxing and has everything you would need for your stay. The owners made us feel very welcome and shared lots of information about places to visit in Lewis & Harris that we wouldn't have discovered otherwise. Would love to come back some day.

"Shore Lodge was excellent."
The only problem was the weather - exceptionally hot - but we were given an electric fan to assist. Great facilities, had a great holiday.

"Hygge Isle of Lewis style."
.. Absolutely spotless and so very welcoming. Entering this property is like walking into an inner calmness!! So peaceful it was very easy to relax and enjoy the space. Winter conditions outside just made it more relaxing.

"This is a truly special place to stay."
House is amazing with everything you need and more. Easy walk into Stornaway and other coastal paths and good base to explore the island further. Ferry 10 minute drive away. Certainly a warm welcome from the owners who feel like old friends and are so helpful with anything you need to make this a perfect holiday. We would return here in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

"Shore Lodge was perfect for my short trip to the Isle of Lewis."
Very close to Stornoway and the ferry. The bed is incredibly comfortable and the linen so luxurious I had to ask what make it was. I'm sure it was why I slept so well. The Hot Tub tucked away in a very private area at the back is such a wonderful treat. Lashings of hot water in the shower which was so relaxing after a long day. The kitchen is so well equipped. I want to rebook for a longer stay.

The property
Stornoway 1.5 miles.
Shore Lodge is a romantic, eco-friendly holiday home on the Isle of Lewis, located just outside of the lively town of Stornoway on a working croft.
This lovely home has fantastic sea views, with boats and ferries often crossing the bay, and is just a short walk from the beach, making it ideal for a couple, lone traveller, or two friends who enjoy exploring.
Inside, you'll find exquisite local art and a breath-taking glass wall with a view of the sea in the cathedral ceiling area.
A lavish welcome gift awaits you upon arrival, and a bright and airy open-plan living space complete with quality appliances and furniture provides everything you need to cook, dine, and unwind, including a fully-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and a sitting area with a Smart TV to unwind in front of.
Moving through the house, a contemporary shower room, in keeping with the property's high standard, provides a place to freshen up after a day of touring, with luxury bedding and towels provided.
When it's time to sleep, the bedroom has Egyptian cotton bedding and an inviting, king-size mattress with a zip and link function making it ideal for couples or friends sharing.
Outside, spend a romantic evening in the hot tub while looking up at the stars on the decking, or dine alfresco with an incomparable view.
In the spring and summer, you may hear corncrakes near the home, and year-round you might catch the local curlews, oystercatchers, herons, otters, seals, and other wildlife on the shore and coast near the house.
If you can pull yourself away from this wonderful home, go along the shoreline route to Stornoway for a variety of restaurants, cafés, and shops.
The property is also conveniently located on the Iolaire trail, with a spectacular coastline walk to the Iolaire monument and breath-taking sea views across the Minch to the Shiant Isles, the Isle of Skye, and the mainland.
Should you choose to explore further, the town also has a ferry port and an airport, but if you prefer to put on your walking boots, you can make your way to Lews Castle and gardens, which have mountain bike paths, walks, a castle, a museum, and a café, making for a terrific day out whatever your preference.
Add Scotland to your bucket list with a stay at Shore Lodge.
The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway.

About the location
STORNOWAY
Arnol 14.5 miles; Callanish Stones 16 miles.
Stornoway is the only town in the Outer Hebrides and is a bustling and growing area with a busy working harbour, a great selection of shops selling local gifts including Harris Tweed, leisure facilities and wonderful award-winning restaurants selling locally sourced food of the highest quality. Lewis is a place where the lilting Gaelic language is spoken everywhere! Visitors to the town will find plenty to keep them occupied, the magnificent Lews Castle Grounds and the iconic Lews Castle, many good museums and art galleries and also a smart golf course and clubhouse. The large, quiet sandy beaches are close by and provide visitors with wonderful views and the town itself forms a great base for a holiday exploring the unique islands that form the Outer Hebrides. On the north west side of Lewis you can visit the village of Arnol with its Blackhouse Museum, an unmissable visit for anyone wanting to understand the way of life that was once widespread in Lewis. Carloway Broch is nearby and is another fascinating landmark and incredibly well preserved. The Callanish Stones from the Neolithic are also well worth visiting. The whalebone arch and numerous Iron Age dwellings on stunning Bosta beach make for great days out. The friendliness of the local people will astound visitors to the islands and you cannot fail to be impressed with the genteel and contented pace of life you will encounter here.
