Lovely property, very clean and everything you can think of was available from how all appliances work to local bus times. The owner had the heating on longer for us as our arrival was late in the evening and returned an item I left behind almost immediately after I had left. Very kind and attentive people

Housed in a former mission hall, Snowberry Cottage has been recently renovated (2023) to provide charming self catering accommodation for up to four people on the Westside of the Isle of Lewis. With plenty of parking on site, there is enough parking for two cars. For those coming at a more leisurely pace there is also secure bicycle storage. A full kitchen with washing machine, electric cooker, microwave, dining area, fridge freezer, and yet a restaurant just five minutes walk away for those days when you think - “we’re on holiday!” - please note booking is essential for the local restaurant. Cosy lounge with a Smart TV (don’t forget your streaming passwords!), books of local interest and an assortment of board games. Featuring two bedrooms - one a king size double, the other with two singles - there is plenty of space for four people. Please note the house is not suitable for children under the age of 6. Due to Scottish licence legislation, no more than four people can be accommodated in the property at any one time. The property is on a good bus route (W1), just 20 minutes drive from the main town of Stornoway.
We enjoy beachcombing, trips to the local shore, gardening and tootling about these fabulous islands. We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay with us, and please get in touch any time with any questions.
The village of Borve has a hotel with restaurant and pub (booking essential), a small convenience store, a doctors surgery, a lovely rocky shoreline just a short walk away, and a pottery and gift shop - so whilst the property is secluded and cosy, it is within walking distance of some fabulous amenities. Please note the amenities are always closed on a Sunday, and there is no public transport on a Sunday. A short drive to many of the historic sites, the island is also renowned for its wildlife. Being on the Hebridean Way, on the way to the Port of Ness, the cottage is ideally situated for a break for anyone attempting the Hebridean Way. Situated in an area with very little light pollution, it is also a fantastic place from which to spot the Northern Lights when they appear. We cannot stress enough how important it is to book your ferries or flights in advance of booking with us, and cannot be held responsible for any charges you accumulate if you fail to book your transport to the island.
