Cottages in Schotse eilanden

'This is going to sound ridiculous--there are so many awesome things about this place, from the view to the high-tech everything to the fantastically deep bathtub--but as an American on a road trip through Scotland, I was *so excited* to have a real, actual, American-style clothes dryer to do laundry! So many rentals in Europe have those air-fluff washer/dryer combos, or just plain old drying racks for wet clothes, so to have a full-fledged electric dryer was the height of luxury. Silly, I know....

'We were welcomed at the door and shown to our well-appointed apartment. Spectacular views from the Castle across Stornoway harbour, and a very comfortable stay. Management are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Recommend the Castle cafe downstairs for breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.'

'Wonderful stay'

'We spent a wonderful week in an apartment in Lews Castle Stornoway. The apartment was very spacious, light and with high ceilings as befits a castle. Its location was excellent, in extensive grounds and in walking distance of Stornoway. It also had views of the harbour. We could watch ferries and cruise ships come in and out.'
