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:
- Follow our inside track for days out; published annually for our guests to help you plan your holiday; full of our suggestions for every day of the week to make the most of your stay.
- 5 minutes walk to our local beach, visible from the deck. The house is central enough for great day-trips all around the island.
- Buy fresh langoustines, crab or lobster from a local fisherman, cheeses, venison and home bakes through the island's delis or honesty boxes and enjoy a picnic by one of the many beaches.
- Look out for the Northern Lights, the aurora borealis on a crisp, clear night or just take in the vast dark sky lit up with stars and a clear Milky Way! Sit on the deck, daytime, under big skies and look out for wildlife from corncrakes to deer.
- We're in a quiet, edge of village location with open beach views, 5 minutes walk away, but on the bus route, handy for an evening out. EV charger at the house.
- Enjoy the roadtrip through Scotland and sea crossing to the islands, as part of your holiday, looking out for dolphins and porpoises on the way!
