2 Bedroom House in Stornoway

About this space
‘Mo Eilean’ is a beautifully restored traditional Victorian stone house that provides our guests with a home away from home and an ideal base for exploring the island. It is set in a quiet, yet central street of Stornoway, the main town of the Western Isles. With only a 5 minute walk into the center of Stornoway, our tranquil harbor, Lews Castle, shops, restaurants, cinema, and sports center are on your doorstep. Arrival points of ferry port and airport are also only 5-10 minutes from our house.
The space
Everything in this house has been lovingly chosen to create a space which offers a charming marriage of old and new, traditional and modern. Where possible, we preserved and exposed special features like the original stone wall in the loft living room, the old wooden flooring, and formerly hidden fireplaces. Two modern wood burners add to the cosines of the living and dining spaces, while the spacious bathroom invites you to relax in a luxurious spa bath.
If you are not out exploring our unique island landscape with its breathtaking beaches, lochs, and coastline, your holiday home is furnished with ample home entertainment such as Amazon & Netflix TV, a Blu-Ray player with a wide selection of DVDs, high-quality Naim & Cambridge HiFi sound systems, PS4, free fibre broadband, a great selection of books, games, jigsaws as well as a laptop docking station, monitor, and printer for any work requirements.
For families with young children, we provide a cot, high-chair, car seat, and booster seat, pram, as well as a safety gate for our stairs.
On a sunny day, you can enjoy your own private patio garden equipped with a table, seating and a Weber barbecue. This space is also ideal to hang and store any leisure/sports equipment for surfing, biking or other water sport activities.
In terms of location, geographically Stornoway is the perfect base for exploring Lewis and Harris with all parts of the islands within easy reach by car.
Guest access
'Mo Eilean' is a fully equipped semi-detached self-catering house with your own front and back door access. You have parking right in front and the side of the house and a patio garden for your exclusive use.

Summary: This has been one of the most comfortable and amazing places I have rented in the UK. The host is very pleasant and lives next door. She met us outside and generously gave us a tour of the home. Before we even arrived, she asked for any special dietary requirements we had. Upon arrival, we found the fridge stocked with fresh eggs, milk, juices, and cheese. She also had fresh bread and a goodies welcome basket. She had ample information about the island--places to eat, things to see, everything. Literally everything was taken care of. There are board games, lots of relevant books, and even a PS4! The bath was amazing and the shower too. She had high end ishga products stocked.My only issue, and it really just comes down to my preference, is that i found the mattresses a little firm for my arthritic hip. I just kept a couple extra advil by the bedside. If I had any recommendations, I would say maybe get one softer mattress for those of us who have arthritis. Overall, this is probably the best VRBO on the Isle of Lewis and Harris due to its location and overall comfort. Even though the island looks large on a map, everything was within about an hour and a half away. Callanish was only about 28 minutes away. The Butt of Lewis was about 45ish minutes away. Luskentyre Beach was about an hour and 20 minutes away (if i remember right). I will definitely stay again!
