Description

15 New Shawbost is a charming house nestled in the village of Shawbost on the scenic Isle of Lewis. Offering a welcoming base for families and friends seeking a tranquil escape, boasting a woodburning stove, beach proximity and allows pets. After parking up, you’ll be greeted by a house that sits in an elevated position, framed by generous gardens to the front and rear and backed by sweeping mountain views. Step inside and feel the warmth of a welcoming hallway that leads you through this thoughtfully arranged home. Begin your journey in the sitting room, where a woodburning stove glows invitingly, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the rugged coastline. Sink into the seating and flick on the Smart TV for a family film night, or browse the extensive collection of DVDs, books and games for a relaxed evening indoors. Move through to the kitchen/diner, a bright and practical space where you can prepare hearty meals using the well-equipped facilities. Picture yourself rustling up breakfast with the double oven and hob, before gathering around the dining table to plan the day ahead over steaming mugs of tea. When night falls, retreat to one of the three restful bedrooms. The double room offers a tranquil setting for a peaceful night, while the twin provides flexibility for friends or younger guests. A stylish bathroom completes the interior, featuring a bath for indulgent soaks and a walk-in shower for a refreshing start to the morning. Outside, the garden with its stretch of lawn invites you to savour a quiet moment with a book or let the dogs roam freely in the fresh air. The views here are truly special, with rugged hills rolling into the distance and a sense of space that makes this property feel wonderfully private. A local shop is within easy reach for essentials, and a traditional pub lies a short scenic drive away for an evening meal. The nearby beach is close enough for spontaneous walks along the sand, where the Atlantic waves roll gently onto the shore. If you’re eager to explore further, the historic Callanish Stones await with their awe-inspiring presence, offering a glimpse into ancient mysteries and panoramic views across the moorland. Venture to Gearannan Blackhouse Village to step back in time and experience traditional island life, complete with thatched cottages and cultural exhibits. For a livelier day out, head towards Stornoway, where the harbour bustles with activity, Lews Castle stands proudly amidst leafy grounds, and local eateries tempt you with fresh seafood and island delicacies.

15 New Shawbost is more than a place to stay; it’s a gateway to unforgettable experiences on the Isle of Lewis, promising relaxation, discovery, and cherished memories.

What guests are saying

We had a great week, best week of the year for weather, we enjoyed the house, would have loved to use the garden in the good weather but couldn't as it was so overgrown, the descriptive blurb says enjoy the garden, we had a dog that couldn't use it, there were no nesting birds that time of year, it's clearly not been done all year, maybe alter the description, it's just not accurate, shame really, we would definitely come back, so much potential

We loved the house and had a great week.

I know we had an email about the nesting corncrakes and that being the reason why the grass wasn’t cut, however, the garden is generally unkempt and the bushes haven’t been cut in a long while . It did block the front view. Also, the garden is quite large and I know there aren’t birds nesting front and back- some of the garden could have been kept tidier, the grass was so long the whole garden is unusable. I have photos if necessary.
