Dunraven

Dunraven is a beautiful property and it is in an ideal location for exploring these magical islands.

The cottage is a real “ home from home” extremely well equipped with everything that you could ever need . It is warm, comfortable and tastefully furnished with stunning views. Alda, the owner is very welcoming, helpful and easily contactable should there be any queries.

When you visit and stay in a property like this you can only consider yourself to have been fortunate to have found it and to be able to experience it.

An absolute gem of a place in a Beautiful location Every home comfort is in the perfect spotlessly clean cottage With added bonus of the sheep cattle & rabbits.

. A perfect place to stay.

Beautifully decorated cottage in a breathtaking location.

We saw eagles several times a day and a hen harrier. The living room was very comfortable and the bathrooms luxurious. A couple of things were tired in the kitchen and could do with replacing but it didn't affect our stay. The location was perfect for exploring Lewis & Harris in both directions.

Great location & outlook

A very clean and comfortable property with good amenities.

It is in a beautiful setting with stunning views. Wonderfully located to explore all the island.

The cottage was beautiful and very well maintained inside and out.

It had everything you could need for an amazing break on Lewis. The rooms were so comfortable with amazing views in every direction. We had such a brilliant break, in part because the cottage was so lovely to stay in. Reading a few of the guest book comments it's clear our opinion is shared with others too. There wasn't a DVD player, though it was clear there had been one at some point and it was included in the listing. It would have been helpful to have one, as we'd brought movies with us, but it was just a small thing and not a critisism. It was such a lovely stay and we'd definately recommend it to others.

It is a wonderful property.

We missed some essentials though. Like a vacuum cleaner. And with a great stove like that, you might want to add some cooking materials like a scale, rolling pin and larger oven dishes. The WiFi code provided didn’t work, but we managed to get WiFi by scanning the QR code on the router. Unfortunately we couldn’t connect the tv with it, so we couldn’t use the facilities like Netflix/youtube provided. But all in all it was a great house with outstanding views. Not to far from a lovely town where you can get your groceries. We had a great time there.

We returned to Dunraven for two weeks, having stayed around the same time last year and loved it.

Lovely accommodation, beautiful setting, well-placed to access the rest of Lewis/Harris and its history and attractions. We enjoyed walking, trout fishing, the numerous beaches, Lews Castle grounds (and coffee shop - even open on Sunday!). The property owner was very welcoming and keen to make sure we had everything we needed.

Lovely cottage, exquisite furnishings and trimmings, well equipped and in brilliant location ideal for exploring Lewis and Harris.

Only drawback was having to put the whole house heating on for the towel rail in bathroom, perhaps an independent electric towel rail would be cheaper.

Lovely house in a very peaceful location.

Had everything we needed, and was all very clean and everything was in good condition. Location halfway down Lewis made it easier for seeing all points of interest in both the North and South, as well as only being around 20 minutes drive from Stornoway.

The cottage is top quality accommodation with everything you could possibly need.

Sitting on the patio with your morning coffee is priceless, with great views and perfect peace and quiet. The location is ideal to explore North and South of the Island. We had some problems with our car during our stay and to say the owner went above and beyond to help us out is an understatement. Would definitely recommend and we would happily stay again.

The cottage was just what we wanted.

It had everything and was very comfortable. It is positioned roughly central so was pretty easy to get everywhere on the island. Everything was of a good standard. From the cosy coal fire to the wifi. We would definitely return when passing this way again.

Really perfect location if you want see Lewis and Harris.

The cottage was fully equipped with everything you need. I would highly recommend.

The view was amazing.

We decided to recharge from our holiday and just stay in and enjoy the house and view.

Fantastic!

The best holiday cottage we’ve had stayed at. Everything is high quality, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need and the cottage is full of little touches to make it a home away from home. Owners are really friendly and helpful and we would definitely visit here again.

We spent two weeks at Dunraven and were thoroughly blessed.

The house is well appointed, has all you need and is situated in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Its location is ideal for accessing other parts of Lewis and Harris. We hope to return some day.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dunraven.

The cottage was clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed for a week self-catering in Lewis. The kitchen is very well equipped including a range cooker. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the double bedroom has a fabulous en-suite wet room. We found Dunraven to be the perfect base to explore the delights of Lewis and Harris and would definitely stay there again the next time we're visiting the islands.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage in a peaceful location with beautiful views.

It was easy to visit as far as the Butt of Lewis in the north and down to Harris in the south and lots in between on day trips. The welcome items were much appreciated.

Overall a very nice and comfortable cottage.

The beds could be wider and the heating system could need an upgrade, we just turned the heater off every day, it was simply too hot, but a winter/summer automatic would be nice.

A very comfortable and relaxing stay in this lovely cottage.

Quiet and well-equipped, and an ideal location for exploring Lewis and Harris. Wildlife and glorious views all around - perfect.

Beautiful, quiet location.

Very good position for travelling around Lewis and Harris. Comfortable beds and good, modern facilities in the property. Owner very responsive.property highly recommended - especially for two people.

Beautiful, cosy, comfortable cottage with everything you could need.

Stunning views all around the property. Very peaceful and quiet, ideally situated for exploring the islands. The welcome treats were much appreciated. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your wonderful cottage.

The standard of the cottage is excellent.

It is set in a peaceful and quiet location, with lovely views over the loch and surrounding hills offering an excellent base to explore both Harris and Lewis. Everything that you could possibly need was available in abundance and the generosity of the host was further evidenced by the welcome pack of milk, bread and biscuits (yummy

Absolute fabulous location!

Accommodation was lovely, very clean and well presented! Plenty of amenities and all the essential utilities! The owner was very helpful and available for any questions we had!

Lovely well appointed cottage in convenient location for exploring both Lewis and Harris.

Has beautiful views across the loch. Suggestions for improvement would be around the crockery (quality is good but only 6 plates) and similarly quantity of cutlery. The knives/peeler aren't very sharp. No cloths apart from one sponge. The limited pack of 6 dishwasher tablets looks miserly and is unnecessary (we're not going to waste them). So basically cottage is very good but a little bit let down by the kitchen equipment. Could also do with a footstool in the lounge.

Lovely property in a great location.

It is nicely furnished and very comfortable with everything we needed for the week.

This is a newly launched cottage in April 2019 and so has plenty of availability and no visitor comment history.

We had (for our 3rd time on Lewis) a great holiday – with sunny weather!

The cottage is well placed for touring the Isle. Being relatively central it’s within easy reach for Stornaway and with good runs to UIG, Ness and Tarbet. The cottage is excellent and was well appointed and our only comment is could there be more detailed instructions about how to turn the heating/boiler down/off. It was very warm. This year for the first time we visited Lews Museum which we think is great, informative and highly relevant to the people and culture of Lewis.

Dunraven is extremely well fitted out and a very comfortable property.

It is perfectly located for exploring Lewis & Harris and was always a joy to come back to after a day out.

Fabulous cottage.

Spotless and comfortable. Had everything we could have asked for and more. Owners were excellent. Would definitely recommend!
