Settled along the coast of the Isle of Lewis, between Loch Cromore and Loch Erisort, the small but friendly crofting township of Cromore is isolated, yet thriving with the undisturbed beauty of the wild Outer Hebrides.This former fishing village offers footpaths that trail through breathtaking scenery, home to an abundance of wildlife including native nesting sea birds. To the west of the village you can discover the weatherworn ruins of the 16th century church of St Columba that lookout to sea. There are plenty of fishing opportunities, whether your preference is for the waves or the calmer lochs, and local amenities including a pub serving traditional food, a village shop and a café are within a short drive.

The owners have made this such a warm, cosy and welcoming home. Everything was spotlessly clean. Iâve never stayed anywhere on holiday that has a kitchen so well kitted out. Our dog was well at home here as well. This place was just what we needed, to recharge and reset, following some difficult times in our life. Thank you also to Karen next door for the lovely goody basket a lovely touch, and was much appreciated. Kathleen and Alan we hope to return thank you â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

Really homely atmosphere, & a very interesting library of local books about history, traditions & folklore. Karen, next door, does a super job keeping the property in order & is on hand should you have any issues. Particularly good in that it fully caters for dogs with all the extras they need. Thank you, Kathleen, for letting use use your unique home.
