Great Property and Hosts

We were really pleased with Jan and Callum. They were very friendly and welcoming. The house was perfect, especially after a very rough campout on Skye. Thanks again, and we hope to be back.

Old Croft House

We had a lovely stay in the Old Croft house. In fact Croft from Croft and home from home. Everything you could wish for including the weather.

Blissful week

The property was exactly as it looked in the pictures, it was airy, clean and spacious with lots of room for the whole group to get together but plenty of quieter space for some 'me time'. We already know the island and have lots of family there and Jan and Callum offered to come and extend our table if they were coming over, asked where we needed safety gates and provided top class toddler safe equipment. The weather was great so we made very good use of the local.beaches and garden too. Great hosts and we look forward very much to coming and staying again if we may.

Great home, location and hosts!

We were a large group staying at the property for 4 nights. The place was just perfect. There was enough space, every utensil or item you needed was there, everything was good quality, the beds and towels were soft and comfortable. We made full use of everything we could, including the lovely little walk to the serene+almost secluded beach, the great BBQ facilities and the Internet TVs and fireplaces. We would absolutely stay here again in the future without hesitation. Callum and Jan were the perfect hosts! Thank you both - look forward to seeing you again! Latifa and Family

A lovely place to stay

We had a wonderful stay. The property is lovely with lots of homely touches. The hosts were really friendly and helpful - from a warm welcome with some milk and eggs in the fridge to advice about what to do on the island. I particularly enjoyed looking at the view from the sitting room in the light summer evenings.

Fantastic holiday

We've had a wonderful holiday in Lewis. The property was in a great location, very well equipped and comfortable (also spotlessly clean). The owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I would highly recommend the property.

Fabulous stay at The Old Croft House in Back

The Old Croft House is very clean and comfortable and has everything a guest might want, from a well-stocked kitchen to beach towels, games, maps and some really interesting books about the Western Isles. Jan and Callum are fabulous hosts who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, from tracking down wetsuits for hire to providing delicious, freshly baked muffins. They were hugely helpful and made us feel really welcome - we would definitely recommend The Old Croft House as a place to stay.
