    “This was our first trip to Lewis with our friends. Our hosts Catherine and Ian met us at the cottage with a cheery welcome. We can honestly say The Fishermans Cottage was excellent from the superb decor, the quality towels and linen, and attention...”

    “We loved the out of the way nature of the house, exactly what we wanted to get away from town, it was a short walk to the sea, and a long walk along the coast.”

Hello, my name is Catherine. The cottage was built by my grandfather for his family in the 1940s. He had been a fisherman who owned his own boat, SY 424. My husband Ian and I have renovated the cottage to a high standard and hope you relax and enjoy your stay. We have a No Pet Policy in the cottage. I enjoy sewing and made all the curtains and cushions myself, mostly from Harris Tweed. I am available at any time for advice or assistance.
