  The Best Stay We've Ever Had - Truly Exceptional!

  We recently stayed at this incredible property in Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, and words can't fully capture how extraordinary our experience was. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the most thoughtful and luxurious welcome pack, which included champagne, local products, and even a decanter of fine whiskey. It was such a warm and delightful start to our stay! The property itself is absolutely stunning. The attention to detail in every corner is remarkable, with beautiful linen, plush towels, and stylish furniture that made us feel like we were in a five-star hotel, but with all the cosy charm of a secluded getaway. The fully fitted and equipped kitchen had everything we could possibly need to prepare meals, and the log burner in the living room made for the most perfect, cosy evenings. There was even an electric car charging point! The hosts Annette, Alex and Paul were just great, nothing was any trouble to them and they helped us remarkably when the ferries were disrupted and we had to stay unexpectedly. We certainly felt safe and valued. The views from the property are breathtaking. Whether you’re gazing out the windows or enjoying a drink outside, the scenery is nothing short of magical. It’s the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature. We’ve stayed at many places over the years, but this one is truly in a league of its own. This property goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a five-star experience – it’s the best place we’ve ever stayed, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

  We’re just home from a fantastic week at Old Mission Hall.

  The directions and general information pack we were sent ahead of our stay were very helpful and contained lots of helpful tips for our stay. The cottage itself was tucked away down a track with ample parking available. The cottage and garden is very private, in no way overlooked and has a beautiful view over the loch. The unenclosed part of the garden featured a regular pair of sheep visitors who accessed the space from the loch who were very entertaining! Watch out for the sheep pop they leave though! The cottage itself is incredibly well equipped - and the welcome basket was lovely. It also had all the things which are so often missing in self catered stays but make a stay so much more comfortable. A kitchen with proper trays and knives, and tin foil etc. And a dog friendly cottage that felt actually friendly from than just tolerating - doggy bowls, poo bags, a spare crate etc. Apologies for any sane we left as we had daily trips to different beautiful beaches! The place was very well appointed for all your practical needs as well - good water pressure for the shower, lots of sockets and spare chargers, internet and a smart tv for watching on an evening. We were blessed with some good weather in our week - which did mean that like all conservatories, it got a bit warm in there! A lovely stay in a lovely cottage - thanks for having us.

  The cottage exceeded our expectations.

  It was a real home from home with the bonus of a stunning view and lots of visiting birds. Liz was so helpful in showing us places to visit. Rob built a gate while we were there which enclosed the garden for our medium sized pooch, but a tether was also provided. The cottage was comfortable and we loved the conservatory and little reading snug. It had so many touches that showed how thoughtfully it had been set out for guests needs. It was well maintained and a new panel radiator and large fridge freezer had been installed the day we arrived. A bonus was to find a laundry room in the house. The location of the property was ideal for touring the island as it was about 1 mile away from the middle point of the main road that runs from top to bottom of the island so nearly all sights were no more than an hours drive at the most. Stornoway and the lovely Lews Castle and the Callanish standing stones being the closest. All in all a super cottage and definitely a good choice. Highly recommend.

  Our stay at Old Mission Hall was truly remarkable and exceeded all our expectations!

  From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and character of this lovely property. It provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable family getaway. What truly stood out was how much my family loved the experience. There were plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, from exploring the surrounding area to cozy evenings spent together. The location is also fantastic, with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to disconnect and recharge. We were thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail and the welcoming vibe throughout our stay. It felt like a home away from home, and we cherished every moment we spent there. Without a doubt, we are already planning our return to Old Mission Hall. It’s a special place that holds a special spot in our hearts, and we can’t wait to create more beautiful memories there. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delightful escape! Karen and Kathleen, thank you both from us all.

  Old Mission Hall is a hidden gem.

  The first thing we noticed as we stopped outside was the silence,there was no noise at all. We went inside and it was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in, the welcome pack that was left for us was fantastic, there was enough for 6 and there was only 2 of us. There was everything you could need in old Mission Hall and it was all good quality even the dogs were thought about. The bed was lovely to sleep in, really comfortable and waking up and opening the curtains to the view of the Loch and surrounding countryside was heaven. Karen the housekeeper is lovely she made us feel really welcome when we met her. Old Mission Hall is a place I could call home and it was hard to leave there. The isle of Lewis is a beautiful place and everyone we met were so friendly and proud of where they lived. We will be back soon. You can see how popular Old Mission Hall is when you try to find a gap in the bookings.
