  • "It was a really comfortable stay at the cottage, very well equipped, a warm welcome with fire in the stove after a cold ferry trip from Ullapool :-) and a welcome package with local products from the owner."

    Perfect to relax and enjoy. Thank you very much.

  • "The property was immaculate and located in a beautiful part of the island close to a number of wonderful beaches."

    The hosts were responsive when called on and helped us locate the property on the first night despite it being late. The garden was large and the kids loved playing in it during the evening. The sunsets were amazing. The house had everything required including a very powerful shower.

  • "This property exceeded our expectations from the moment we walked through the door."

    A lovely welcome pack, all local produce. Everything you need has been provided for you. Would have given an extra star if it was there, we've stayed at quite a few cottages but this one was the best. My wife's comment sums up the holiday, ' so nice to walk in and not have to clean the cutlery draw before using it.'

  • "This is the best accommodation we have ever had in the Outer Hebrides."

    We have stayed in many accommodations here over many years. Excellent. The price of our stay was much lower than anything I could find on the internet at the time of booking. Supply of fruit and biscuits etc more than necessary. Many thanks A.

  • "What a lovely property."

    Am Blar Beag was the absolute favorite of all of our accommodations during our 16 day trip to Scotland and we covered a lot of territory. Cristina and Angus have gone above and beyond to ensure all wants/needs are covered. The welcome basket was delightful. If time ever allows, we will go back. Susan W. Comox BC Canada

    There is so much to explore in the Ness area with it's stunning beaches, scenery and wildlife (there were red deer and hen harrier close to the cottage) that a week wasn't enough to appreciate it all.

    From the furnishings really everything available. Coffee can be made, as mostly in England, with the coffee makers (known from Italy). The landlords were very friendly, we had telephone as well as personal contact, even a welcome package (at the weekend no grocery store is open on the Hebrides) was abundantly available. We felt very comfortable! A heartfelt thank you

    The house is just perfect, has everything you could ever need. So thoughtfully put together. Lovely to find a welcome pack to get us going. A great base for exploring the area. The kids loved the park at Eoropie. it is fantastic. The beaches here are stunning, the boys loved running in and out of the water, despite it being freezing!

  • "We were very pleasantly surprised by the size of the house, the lovely big kitchen and it had everything (and more than) we needed."

    We loved spending a week here discovering Lewis and especially all the facilities around Ness. We went bowling in Sporsnis which was great fun, ate cake (several times) at the Wobbly Dog and really enjoyed the Ness museum. But most of all we loved spending time on the amazing beaches around Lewis. You really don't need to go anywhere else if you get some good weather! (It was so lovely to find a basket with treats , some supplies in the fridge and fruit in a fruit bowl - much more than we would ever have expected and such a warm welcome. ) Thankyou, I, L & R Glasgow
