Vacation rentals with beach access in Stornoway

Christine and Howard were exceptional hosts. Their generosity was more than anything one could wish for . The breakfast the welcome basket, there was so much to choose from . We felt right at home and very comfortable from the start and they were both ready to help and support in anyway. Howard is a mind of information and brilliant to chat to , he was very helpful and gave us lots more of information of where to go on our walks. Thank you Christine and Howard x

This is a fabulous place, and once we found it, we enjoyed every minute. The staff is helpful and made us feel welcome. The rooms are large, and staying in a castle is pretty special. My only complaint is that the description of where the unit is located is very misleading. We were told the apartment is "ON the Lews Castle grounds", which are over 600 acres. For travelers like us, completely unfamiliar with the castle, that's very confusing, and an accurate description would be more helpful and enticing. The unit is IN Lews Castle. And it's great!

We had a lovely stay in the annexe - which is actually a lovely one bedroom house. It was immaculate when we arrived and we loved the furnishings. The shower was great - double shower with rainforest shower head. The bed was really comfortable and we both slept so well. Lighthouse and lovely beach just along the road but there are glorious beaches all over the island - stunning! Highly recommend Joanne’s ‘annexe’ which was just lovely to head back to at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. Thank you for letting us stay 😁

Beautiful, comfortable room in a castle! Lovely luxurious break from camping. Staff were excellent and very friendly and helpful. Great for exploring Stornaway for a night. Wished we stayed longer!

Our host Christina was fantastic. She helped us check in with our luggage and was really friendly and knowledgeable. Loved staying in the castle. We are definitely coming back next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our apartment at Lews Castle. It’s spacious and well appointed, very very nice and high end. The grounds are beautiful and the location is VERY close to the town of Stornoway! Thank you!!!!!

A beautiful house in a stunning area. The house had everything we needed and it was all of great quality. Sandra and Kevin were so friendly and helpful, making us feel really welcome. The beach is just a short walk away, with many more gorgeous beaches in the area. We saw Golden Eagles, White-tailed Eagles, Otters and heard and saw Corncrakes. We will be back. 😀

Even though the photos in the listing didn't match the place where we stayed, the apartment was beautiful, spacious, and fully-equipped. Sleeping inside a real castle was truly a unique experience. The city of Stornoway was easily accessible on foot, and the host was always responsive and available.

The house is in a perfect position, very quiet. In a fantastic area.

We absolutely loved it I think this has made Lewis our new favourite island. I saw most of the marine life I was wanting to see from the balcony: seals and birds. The kitchen was great for cooking and eating in. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for a wonderful stay x

A beautiful little place in the peaceful setting of Port Ness. Chris was very helpful with detailed instructions so finding the place, getting in and figuring out heating etc was super easy. The house is spotless, well decorated, quiet and comfortable - all you can ask for. Walking distance to Eoropie beach and about 40 minutes drive from Stornoway, which adds to the quiet experience. Highly recommended and would stay again

Great little spot, having a photo of the place was key to finding it as Google didn’t have the right location on the street 🤣🤣. Warm, peaceful place. We were not used to the short nights though only dark from 11pm till 4:30am 🤣🤣. Was perfect for the four adults & 2 kids and perfectly located to explore every corner of Lewis & Harris. Iain & Fiona had the cutest little basket of Scottish goodies for us to try. Thank you we had a fantastic stay.

lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings, the view is amazing!! we were looking for a peaceful stay but within driving distance to amenities and this is what we got. Reef beach is very close by and after travelling length and breadth of island was our favourite. Richard was there with advice, he helped with directions as sat nav gave up, was there when needed and was a lovely host. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you. 🙂

Perfection! Comfortable. Amazing views of the ocean and lochs. Close to coastal hikes. Twenty minutes to Stornaway and the ferry. Harris about an hour

We had a brilliant stay at Taigh Lemon. The house was spotless, well appointed and had super comfy beds and bedding. It was also well equipped for small children which was beneficial for us. Our only observation would be that it isn’t immediately obvious on the listing that the house isn’t detached and that the owner’s house is right behind it. This didn’t impact our stay at all, but we were quite surprised that the house wasn’t as standalone as we expected.

We had a fantastic stay at Margaret Ann’s lovely property in Lionel. We were welcomed with fresh flowers, biscuits and chocolates on arrival which was a lovely touch. Tigh Gagan is a great base for exploring the island and was a home from home, there was lots of literature on what to do. Margaret Ann was a great host contacting us to ensure everything was well and provided us with clear directions to the house. I would highly recommend Tigh Gagan.
