"A beautiful house very clean and everything we needed."
Lovely shower and comfy beds.
The situation is idyllic being so close to the beach and with other stunning beaches just a short drive away. We didn’t want to leave, as we had wonderful weather. It’s a beautiful part of Lewis. We’ll be back.

"We had such a fabulous week staying at Taigh Eachainn."
The property was just as described. It was spotless and so well equipped. We enjoyed time at the local beach, as well as exploring the beaches further afield. One of the highlights was a Seatrek trip, where we saw sea otters, seals and golden eagles. We enjoyed the slow pace of life on Lewis, and we bought a beautiful painting from the local Cliff Studio nearby to remind us of our holiday. Hoping to go back one day!

"Lovely peaceful stay."
We were situated perfectly to visit all the beaches and historical sites. The weather was typical Lewis style but it's what you make it and it wasn't going to dampen our spirits.

"This lovely accommodation is in the perfect location, effectively enjoying a private beach and with the most beautiful beach on West Lewis a 10 minute walk away."
The level of support from the owners with recommendations and advice as well as the facilities offered made this a real home-from-home experience for us and we would gladly recommend this property and look forward to returning in the future.
Thank you very much for your kind review and glad you had a good time. Hope to meet you again. best wishes Jane and Norman

"Comfortable, clean property next to beautiful beach."
Minor criticisms, sofas not very comfortable and could do with tidying up to the front of the property for example bins and empty planters. Janet, housekeeper, friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your review. Sorry you found the sofas uncomfortable. One of them is a sofa bed which we find useful but we should probably consider a replacement. It is useful to have your feedback. The council last year demanded that we have four enormous wheelie bins and really there is nowhere else to put them.

"We enjoyed a wonderful week-long stay here in April and could not have asked for a more comfortable or better situated place to stay!"
The setting is absolutely stunning, near a secluded beach and beautiful Reef beach, and not far from Uig. The cottage is lovely; homely and well-equipped, with everything you could need. A lovely shelter on windy or rainy days and a super base all round. The owners made us feel so welcome with our young family and provided a cot for our small baby and some crayons for our 5 year old, which she loved! The welcome basked was also much appreciated (oatcakes and shortbread demolished very quickly!). The WiFi was patchy but we didn’t expect otherwise for the location, and quite enjoyed the digital detox. We hope to return in the near future and couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

"The cottage was spotlessly clean the facilities were good (the week previous to our first week there were guests using both houses and they had moved many of the kitchen utensils."
The owner messaged me to check we had all we should have and arranged for us to access missing utensils).

"I would highly recommend staying at Taigh Eachainn cottage."
A stone throw away from a beautiful beach , safe, and spotless.
Taigh Eachainn cottage was cleaned to a high standard, the beds were the best we have slept in, when renting a cottage. The kitchen was well equipped, however come prepared, with kitchen utensils, (kitchen roll, kitchen foil , extra bin liners etc) for self catering. This was just a small thing and did not spoil out holiday.
We will certainly return to Lewis and Harris.
Dear Fiona, we am sorry you were disappointed not to find kitchen roll, foil or cling film. We do not provide these.They are readily available in the local shop.
We normally aim to provide 2 bin and compost bags and if this was not the case I can only apologise.
As far as kitchen utensils are concerned, we hope you enjoyed the wide range from food processor, kitchen scales, pizza cutter through to cake tins.
Best wishes, Jane and Norman

"The cottage is in an absolutely stunning location."
The view from the garden is amazing. We have had a fantastic week away, fantastic bird life right on your doorstep. We travelled to Tiumpan Head to see Minke Whales, Porpoise and Dolphins. The cottage has all you need and the beds are very comfortable, bathrooms spotless, shower was great. The only thing we would change and it didn’t spoil our holiday one bit was the sofa in the lounge which wasn’t very comfortable. We will be recommending this cottage to any friends who wish to visit Lewis.
We’re glad you had a good time.
One of the sofas in the sitting room is also a sofa bed which others have found useful for extra accommodation.
This is probably the one you found uncomfortable.

"This is one of those cottages that you really don't want to give a glowing reference for because you won't be able to get it again."
.. but the location in Bhaltos, with virtually your own white sand beach and the glorious bigger beaches of cliff and reef a stones throw away ... is nigh on perfect. As a paddleboarder, the bay and islands are a joy to tour round... and there's a garage where you can store your kit ... and a hose to rinse it off. The cottage itself was spotless and very well equipped... the Uig community shop stocks everything you really need (inc click and collect of essentials) and was very friendly. The Uig Sands restaurant was great... but you do need to book well in advance. All in all... a fantastic stay

The owners were easy to contact and left a delicious collection of home made marmalade, biscuits and fudge for us. It felt as if they wanted to make sure their guests had a good experience. Its situation just 2 minutes from the beach was perfect for our keen swimmers. A lovely house in a lovely peaceful township.we would certainly consider returning another time.

"A fabulous cottage a short stroll from a gorgeous beach."
The cottage was superb - well appointed/set out and cozy. We had dogs with us so the entrance vestibule was great for leaving the dog paraphernalia as well as coats/boots etc. A super kitchen/dining area with all mod cons and a lovely sitting room with log burner. One of the nicest cottages I’ve stayed in over the years. The owners were also super at providing all sorts of helpful information on the cottage and surrounding area. Will definitely return
