About the location:

HABOST
Stornoway 20 miles
The area known as Pairc, South Lochs is made up of a number of small villages and is situated in the south east area of Lewis. Habost is one of the oldest settlements. Visitors to this remote and peaceful Island will enjoy its spectacular scenery, beautiful beaches as well as our many historic sights such as the Callanais Standing Stones reputed to be older than Stonehenge and a well preserved Pictish broch and the Blackhouse village at Garenin. Stornoway is the main shopping town and Lews Castle museum is well worth a visit to view the world famous Lewis Chessmen. The Island is a great place to spot wildlife such as both of Britain's largest raptors, the sea and golden eagle, seals, deer, whales, otter and dolphins amongst many others.

Great house and strategic location

The house is perfect and the location at the middle of Lewis & Harris is really great. If you need to rest a bit at the house, you will love to watch to the (many sorts of) birds, sheep or rabbits

Comfortable house in a lovely setting

The house overlooks Loch Erisort in a beautiful, quiet setting. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortably furnished with a better equipped kitchen than is found in many rental properties. We found it a good location for visiting Stornoway, the west coast of Lewis, and Harris. The local area to the south and east is also worth exploring. We had a meal at the local hotel which was pleasant, but, we thought pretty expensive, so wouldn’t really recommend that.

Lush!

Aw what a lovely stay we had at the bungalow. Deceptively big and laid out so well for families. Very homely. So equipped to be able to cook and the welcome basket with bread, eggs, butter, milk and weetabix was so welcome as shops aren’t easy to find and have short opening hours! We were in awe of the view and look forward to hopefully returning soon.

Perfect Property

Extremely comfortable bungalow in a tranquil setting overlooking a Loch. It was equipped to a very high standard - even better than we had imagined. Our host Anne replied promptly when we contacted her. The location was ideal - halfway between Tarbert and Stornoway. We were a party of three generations and it suited everybody. If we return to Lewis and Harris, we would look no further than 7 Habost!

Nice Loch View in Convenient Location

The house was just as pictured and very clean. The beds were comfortable and living area was spacious. There was a nice view of the loch out the dining room window and it was fun to watch the sheep with their lambs around the property. The location made it a good place to explore Lewis: Uig, the Calanais Standing Stones, the Black Houses, and to Stornoway for groceries and restaurants. There is the convenient Ravenspoint Centre about 2 miles down the road with a nice little museum, store with essentials, post office, and small cafe. Unfortunately the gas pumps were not working, but there was another station with a small grocery about 8 miles north. The owner provided a lovely welcome basket which was appreciated since we arrived late on a Saturday. The owner was very prompt and helpful in her replies to questions we had and there were a lot of pamphlets on things to do in the area. We would definitely rent this property again.

Idyllic holiday home

We had a great week staying at 7 Habost. The house was very comfortable with everything you could need. Brilliant welcome basket awaited us in the kitchen including bottle of wine, bread, cereal, eggs, jam, tea, coffee!! The view was just stunning, beautiful watching sunsets and sunrises. My son particularly liked the fact we were staying next to “Granny Island’s” cottage from Katie Morag!! Perfect location for exploring Lewis and Harris with both being in easy distance. We look forward to our next stay 😊

Séjour à Lewis et Harris

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison confortable, accueillante, très bien équipée et avec une vue magnifique sur le loch. Idéalement située pour explorer la totalité de l'ile car à égale distance des deux extrémités de l'ile. Nous avons également apprécié le panier de bienvenue.

Home from home in a beautiful location

The house was spotlessly clean, comfy and very well equipped. Little touches like providing a welcome basket of food and a pair of binoculars to watch the wild life in the bay were much appreciated. The location near Balallan is ideal for exploring both Lewis and Harris.

Better than we could have expected. Owner left a welcome pack of tea, coffee, bread, biscuits, milk etc. This was just what we needed as we came of the ferry at 2015 hrs on a Thursday night and there was no shops open at that time. The location and views were excellent and the bungalow was superb.
