Struthan

Although the apartment is compact it is well appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

It is really well located for touring the whole Island but particularly for the Western Beaches which are beautiful. Despite some cold, wet and windy weather we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was lovely to return to a warm cosy apartment at the end of the day. The hosts were welcoming, helpful and friendly.

This was a well thought out accommodation for 2 people.

Well appointed and tasteful. The facilities were very comfortable and warm. Shower was spacious and efficient! We were very happy with the space and the view from the front of the cottage was amazing! Host was friendly and helpful. If there was one aspect that needed a tweak was the space for drying plates etc. it is a tad small... Would happily stay there again and would recommend it for a couple.

Lovely hosts apartment had everything we needed .

Beautiful scenery would definitely be back

Great little holiday place with fabulous views, in a stunning area of Lewis.

Brilliant base for our exploring Everything very clean on our arrival. Bed comfortable. Kitchen area small but well equipped. Really enjoyed our stay and was sorry to leave.

We had a fabulous holiday in Struthan.

The accommodation is great , finished to a high standard with everything you need and great hosts. The view from the garden is breathtaking. Western Lewis is stunningly beautiful , it has everything you need: beaches , lochs, wild life , community shops ,walks and historic sites to visit. Whilst walking to Reef beach we even saw a Golden Eagle and Sea Eagle. We highly recommended this accommodation.

It's a lovely apartment with a well designed layout and had everything we needed for a great weeks holiday.

Rhona and Phil were very welcoming hosts and nearby if we had needed anything. Thank you for an enjoyable and relaxing break.

A lovely little property.

Perfect for getting away from everything. Close to beautiful beaches and countryside.

very nice place, ideal for 1 or 2 guests and the dog.

good location. clean. warm.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The studio was exactly what we had hoped for.

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.

This was an excellent place to stay.

Everything was so thoughtfully laid out. It was immaculate The bed was very comfortable. No piece of equipment was missing that we might have needed. The hosts were friendly and obliging. Couldn't fault it. A great base for exploring the island, in a lovely setting.

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!

This property was amazing so comfortable and spotlessly clean.

would definitely recommend this gem of a place to stay

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 .

We had the best holiday here.

The accommodation was really superb and totally fitted the bill. Excellent location too. We will definitely be returning.

Great location for visiting the area - very comfortable and well furnished accommodation with excellent hosts.

Had a lovely stay up here, great location for the reef beach.

Cottage was fab and the hosts were great. Thanks for our lovely stay!

Really nice apartment, nice owners we had a lovely time

Excellent small accommodation, perfect for two and in a wonderful location.

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.
