The Lewis Longhouse - Self-catering house in Western Isles
Back, Isle of Lewis, HS2 0LR, Western Isles
Scotland,
Regno Unito
The Longhouse is architect-designed with not another building to disturb the stunning views across grass rushes to the sea. In summer you'll be strolling the raised boardwalk or eating on the dining deck. This serene, Scandi-style house has a really well-stocked kitchen with lots of cookery books and sharp knives for proper cooks. You'll find local treats waiting too.
Bedrooms, bathrooms (one facing south) and living spaces seamlessly spread themselves out, with the kitchen on the same level and a super second sitting room upstairs for escapees with computer and WiFi for those who must work. Glass doors glide open to a wraparound deck, perfect for a sundowner at dusk or a barbecue on a warm night - buy fresh shellfish straight from the boats.
Bedrooms have fabulous touches – modern chandeliers, Harris tweed throws and cushions, huge picture windows. Sip tea in bed, admire the views, feel lucky to be here.

Local points of interest from Linda Macleod Brown:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Linda Macleod Brown:
- Fly here in less than an hour from Edinburgh, Inverness or Glasgow! .. or take a few more hours and enjoy the roadtrip and sea crossing to a different world!
- Great walks on the doorstep, along our local beach 50 yards east or west to moorland, whatever the weather. And central enough for great day-trips all around the island. Or just sit on the deck and watch the birdlife and big skies to track that weather!
- Follow the Eat Drink Hebrides Trail, buy fresh langoustines, crab or lobster from a local fisherman, cheeses and local venison through the islands and sample your wares in the house for dinner.
- Look out for the Northern Lights, the aurora borealis, step outside on a crisp, clear night and take in the vast dark sky lit up with stars and a clear Milky Way!
- We provide guests with our own inside track for days out to help you plan your holiday with suggestions for every day for a week or more so you get the most out of your time at our Lewis Longhouse.
- In a quiet, edge of village location with open beach views, we are accessible by the local bus, handy for an evening out. EV charger at the house metered for guests with electric cars.
