Comfortable House in a Beautiful Setting
Our stay was wonderful. The house was extremely comfortable, and the location was absolutely beautiful. It was perfect as a base for exploring the island, and the host offered lovely touches with the helpful restaurant suggestions and provided grocery basics. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to the island.

Fabulous Stay
This has to be one of the best properties that we’ve stayed in, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The welcome pack on arrival was appreciated, especially as we arrived on a Sunday where shops etc are closed. The property is in a great location with easy access to most areas of Lewis and beyond. Loved it, thank you 🙏

Croft cottage
This is a really cosy wee hose to stay in with a lovely atmosphere. Well stocked kitchen if you want to cook - which we didn't , it was a holiday! Beds were comfortable and the house warm. We felt we could really relax in this house. Good communication with the host

The host kindly left us some supplies which were very welcome after a late arrival. Property was spotless, a fantastic spot, loads of space and well stocked with kitchen things, towels for the beach and wonderfully comfortable beds. Fantastic stay. Thank you

Fantastic Stay!
We were thrilled with our stay at the Mackenzie 25! Louise was marvelous at communicating with us, and made our check in process effortless. She had kindly stocked our refrigerator with necessities, as well as some treats. The house was spotless, the bathroom linens were incredibly soft, the beds were comfortable, and the living room was cozy. …and the view down to the sea was beautiful! We had a mix of weather, both rainy and windy, as well as sunny and bright, and we enjoyed every minute. We hope to return to the Mackenzie 25 again in the future! Thank you, Louise!

Lewis short Break
Lovely location close to the beach. The information supplied could have been better - e.g. Shop close by - but no info of where. One of the bathrooms was a long way from the bedrooms - through the kitchen and lounge.We managed as we just stayed 3 nights however a longer stay would have been difficult . The garden was well fenced for our dog as beside a busy road.

Thanks for your review.Sorry if our directions to the shop weren't clear. There was a bathroom fitted specially so guests wouldn't have to go through sitting room and kitchen to use the other bathroom. Thanks for your suggestions.

Very enjoyable stay at this property and quite central.
On arrival this property was spotless, there was basic extras in fridge which was very much appreciated even a bottle of prosecco, Nice touch, I would definitely recommend this property, friendly communication with property manager, what more do you need.

Very good location for visiting all the important places of interest. Lovely beach 15 minutes walk..perfect for a wild swim. Great view from garden but cottage is located on main road ...fortunately not too busy. Owner very generous and thoughtful, leaving beach towels and toys, books, games and DVDs.

A brilliant holiday cottage with everything you could possibly need. Our 15 yr old Border Terrier Jasper loved snoozing after a busy day exploring. Spotlessly clean and in a gorgeous location. Would love to come back x

25 is a great choice and Louise went out of her way to be helpful, as well as including goodies in the fridge…😀 The location, in such easy reach of Gress beach, was perfect for us.

We were very impressed with all aspects of the property, facilities and position. An ideal base to see everything the island has to offer with great views, walks and beach walks directly accessed from the house. The house is cozy, warm and very homely and the owners can't do enough for you, one of the best holiday rentals we have every stayed in would highly recommend.
