Druim Mor House is a large detached modern house located in the quiet crofting village of Swordale, Isle of Lewis. Stornoway is only 7km away and there is a bus stop almost on the doorstep. It has 5 bedrooms, 2 of which are unusually large and appliances include WiFi, tumble dryer, dishwasher, fridges, freezer, 6+ televisions, etc. Spectacular scenery surrounds this self catering property. You will be mesmerised by the ever-changing light that dances across both land and seascapes. This is an ideal home for groups of friends or large extended families to holiday in. The village is quiet and friendly, whilst the garden is large enough for children to play. Swordale is located on the Eye Peninsula (Point – An Rubha) which is roughly 11km long. A narrow isthmus, the Braighe is only one mile in length and at one point barely 100 metres wide but it joins Point to the rest of the Isle of Lewis. You can see The Braighe from Druim Mor and you can also see Stornoway, watch the ferry arriving and view the traffic sailing into and out of Stornoway Harbour. The rest of the Hebrides is open to you: the Isle of Lewis, Gt.Bernera, the Isles of Harris and Scalpay are all within easy driving distance. The scenery en-route is breathtaking. Just a five-minute drive from the house is a popular cafe, shop, wonderful white sandy beach, museum and the ancient ruin of St.Columba’s, Eye Church. The burial ground of 19 of the Chiefs of the MacLeods of Lewis. Ten minutes to the end of Point takes you to Tiumpan Head, here is one of the best places to spot Whales, Dolphins and Basking Sharks in the UK. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,153 square feet ## Similar properties ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117110000/117107100/117107030/944b1c16.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiet, rural hideaway in traditional old Schoolhouse, right on the edge of loch.

It has an amazing view over the water where you can see ships and ferries entering the harbour. My family and I would absolutely come back to Druim Mor when visiting the Isle of Lewis. ##### Kaitlin M.

Pictures do not do it justice. The house was large enough for my family group of 7. Charmingly appointed and equipped with everything that we needed. The location is just about 15 minutes outside Stornoway in a quiet neighborhood - an easy drive from the ferry - and boasts gorgeous views of the island. John the host was very responsive, helpful, and courteous. We'd definitely come back! ##### Jill D.
