Taigh Eachainn

Beautiful place to stay, well maintained and beautifully presented with everything you will need - a great "home from home".

I've reduced the comfort level slightly as the bed was far too hard and very uncomfortable (for our taste) BUT obviously mattress choice is a very personal thing and it's important to know that we would return to this accommodation. The location is so beautiful, peaceful and it is a real tonic for the mind and soul. The owner is a lovely lady who is happy to help. The local people are hospitable and friendly. A visit to Taigh Eachainn will NOT disappoint, make sure you tour the islands of Lewis and Harris and prepare to take hundreds of photographs, whether it's landscapes or nature there's plenty to see. The "buzz" on these islands is not WI-FI, pubs, clubs and shopping centres but miles of beaches normally found in Caribbean countries, spectacular landscapes, Golden Eagles

Ideal location .

Very peaceful with the beach on the doorstep. Many other beautiful beaches accessible within a few minutes. Well equipped self catering property with a welcoming and cosy feel.

This is a wonderful cottage to stay in well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds.

It’s in a perfect location near the beautiful beaches. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends.

Outstanding.

A fully equipped and beautifully presented cottage, with parking. One minute's walk from the beach. It was great to have both a bath and a shower in separate rooms. Cooker instructions, on the splash back, were very helpful and helped us with the cooker in the next cottage which was the same. An excellent guide to the cottage, its facilities and the island was provided by email as well as hard-copy at the cottage. Google would have taken us to the wrong cottage. The host's instructions were spot on. Even the weather was good, I only wish I could have stayed another week.

A fantastic stay in a very cosy well appointed cottage in a stunning location.

We even saw the northern lights! We would definitely recommend this cottage. The only down side was having to leave!

We had a wonderful time in a beautiful picturesque cottage by the sea.

Jane and Norman were perfect hosts providing us with information on the local area, what was on and were available if we needed anything. The cottage was perfect lovely and cosy just what we needed for a relaxed, chilled out winter break.

In the words of Mrs B 'Idyllic.

' Everything we could have wished for and more. Wonderful accommodation, great location and a fantastic host who we were fortunate enough to meet. The kitchen is my 'man cave' and was very well equipped. The property lacked for nothing and exceeded all expectations. Great for dog owners with a secure garden.

Beautiful space, very well equipped for cooking.

Very clean. Loved the back garden too. Very helpful hosts. could have spent a couple of months there!

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.

The location was perfect.

A lovely place to be (especially in good weather) and a handy base for exploring other parts of Lewis. Well-equipped and modern.

Cottage is in a stunning location and was ideal base to search around the island .

Everything has been provided to make your stay very comfortable and it was spotless clean . Beach on door step and two further stunning beaches less than a five minute drive .

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!

Perfect house in perfect area.

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.

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.

Vielen Dank für den super Aufenthalt!

Das Haus war sauber, gemütlich eingerichtet & sehr groß. Super Lage zum kleinen Strand. Sehr zu empfehlen!

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!

A lovely property in beautiful, peaceful surroundings.

For us this was the perfect holiday and we could have stayed here for ever!

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful cottage a stones throw from the beautiful beach and harbour would hope to visit again.

A delightful well equipped cottage in a fantastic location

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.

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.

The property was ideal, great location and very well maintained.

The property was well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Would have no hesitation on going back to this property in the future! Loved our stay at Taigh Eachainn - 10/10

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

We loved the house!

! It was cozy and restful. The kitchen had everything we needed and was very well organized to allow us to cook while there. The house instructions were very clear and the owner was very responsive when we had a question. We were sad to leave after 3 days and will definitely be back. Thank you!

We loved the house and found it welcoming and comfortable.

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

A well equipped, spotless, welcoming house, very close to the local beaches.

Very peaceful and greatly enjoyed by the 4 of us on our first visit to the Isles of Lewis and Harris.

Very comfortable and well-equipped house in a delightful location.

Couldn't have been more comfortable in this lovely home.

Lovely, comfortable house

Wonderful cottage!

Excellent house, wonderful scenery

Brilliant holiday in our favoured place.

Great Cottage!

A welcome return to a favoured home in a favourite spot.
