"The directions to the property were absolutely spot on, we had no problems finding it at all."
The location couldn't be better, easy to get to all the main tourist places and beaches.
The annexe is attached to the owners house and we met both of them during our stay. Both are lovely friendly people who were happy to chat but were also unobtrusive whilst we were in the studio. I needed to ask for help working out the heating system and after a power cut, Phill answered my texts within half an hour despite being at work himself.
The studio apartment is basic but is beautifully furnished with added touches such as Harris tweed cushions and curtains. The bed was comfortable with fresh bedding and the bath towels were soft and thick. Essentials that may have been forgotten were also provided. The room was warm and a pleasure to be in. All kitchen utensils, pans, crockery, glasses etc were available, we didn't come across anything 'missing'. The owner has left a suggestion booklet and looking back through it, everything previous guests have mentioned has been addressed.
We enjoyed meeting the family's animals especially the chickens who often looked through the door panels at us.
The door opens onto a gravelled driveway which is beside the road but there was little traffic so it was never an issue. The parking area for guests is just beyond the driveway.
We had an enjoyable week on Lewis and will definitely be back at Struthan in the future.

"Struthan’s location is undeniably beautiful, with easy access to stunning beaches like Reef and Uig."
The bedding was high-quality and very comfortable, which we appreciated.
However, the property has several areas that need improvement. The interior feels dark and lacks privacy, with the side window facing the owners' parking area and the front door opening directly onto the road. There is no fresh air really coming in as we had the side window open but no breeze and at times we had the front door open to allow fresh air but as we had our dog and the road is close we couldn’t have it open much for safety. Perhaps a window on the glass side panel in the door would help, Although the property initially appeared clean, a closer inspection revealed it could benefit from a thorough deep clean. The extractor fan in shower was dirty as well as the edge of the bottom of the shower. Empty diffuser left in bathroom.
The selection of glassware was disappointing, with mismatched glasses that seemed to be leftovers from the owners’ kitchen. Additionally, the noise from the owners’ living area above was quite intrusive; we could hear footsteps and even snoring, which further detracted from our sense of privacy.
The welcome booklet was lacking, with minimal local recommendations and several empty sleeves where information should have been. A small welcome basket would have been a nice touch to make us feel more at home.
Overall, our stay was okay, but addressing these small issues could significantly enhance the guest experience.

"Struthan is a perfect little holiday home for a couple, well equipt, attractively decorated and very comfortable."
The location was ideal with easy access to a choice of wonderful beaches. The hosts were unobtrusive but helpful and friendly. We can certainly recommend Struthan.

"Absolutely loved our stay and our first visit to the Isle of Lewis."
The booking was easy and straightforward, directions super helpful and arrival seamless. The accommodation was absolutely perfect, comfortable with everything needed to enjoy a relaxing break away from it all. The position is ideal to enjoy both Lewis and Harris, with beautiful beaches on the doorstep. The pictures really don’t do the accommodation justice!

"What a wonderful holiday!"
The property was in a lovely position to access all the gorgeous bays and beaches. Everything was clean, tidy and much more than we had expected. The hosts were so friendly and were on hand if we required anything. Being able to take our dogs was so good too !! We would love to return at some point.

"A great location for exploring this area of the Isle of Lewis."
The accuracy of the description on the website is mostly accurate (it says shower over bath and it’s just a shower) so we were fully aware that it was studio accommodation with limited space. It’s definitely for the outdoor kind of people to flop back in after a hard day’s adventuring and sightseeing. Everything you could need is provided, good WiFi (we had no phone reception in the cottage but was ok further down the road so a great bonus), thoughtfully stocked kitchen area and great shower room. Owners lovely and friendly. Thanks for a memorable stay .

Excellent for walks and exploring.
Owners were very helpful and couldn’t do enough to please. They didn’t mind my 3 well behaved border collies. Thank you for a lovey stay. Highly recommend.
Only thing missing was a washing machine but space is a premium.
