What our customers say about their holidays

  The Shepherds Hut was fabulous!

  It's position on the farm is great with private garden area and parking. Its been very nicely converted and was really comfortable and cosy. Having the log burner indoors was perfect but we also appreciated the electric kettle for a quick cuppa! The gas BBQ is great as was the toasty shower. We added breakfast and BBQ packs and the contents were delicious. Our labrador pup loved the Shetland ponies and the sheep right beside us - even when the ponies decided to moonlight laps around their field!! The hut is really well equipped and kitted out - the only suggestions we had was perhaps a hook on the inside of the door for coats and something heavy or a hook to hold the door open coz the boot rack stops the door going all the way back to the original hook. The outdoor light and solar lights around the path were perfect for evening - and the torch was appreciated too - but the dark skies were perfect for watching the stars. We explored the whole area and found lots of great walks, swims and places to eat!

  We went to Screel View for a bit of recuperation, after a very trying few months, and we absolutely achieved that aim. Relaxation, with a gentle hike down to Kippford for a cup of tea, was what we got, in the most beautifully furnished lodge! The photos of the cabin/lodge, and the area, really don't do it justice. When looking at the photos, you can't hear the silence, or smell the fresh air, or feel the soft carpet in the living room :-) The quality of the furniture and all the fittings is excellent, and every little detail has been considered to make a short stay perfect. The kitchen's beautifully equipped, and the hob and oven are a joy to use (not often I can say that about a holiday let!!). The beds....the mattresses are incredibly comfortable, not too hard or too soft, and the bed linen and pillows are top notch. I could go on and on ....probably best you just check it out for yourselves ;-)

  This was our second stay at Eagle Lodge and it was just wonderful.

  .. again. Norrie and Muriel are so welcoming and helpful. The house must have one of the best views over the bay of Uig and you can wander down to the sands in the evening. The house itself is spacious, comfortable, warm and fully equipped with everything you need for cooking. The jacuzzi is great - what a way to end your day, watching a sunset or seeing the first stars appear while you are in the tub. The place is also full of an amazing family history which encapsulates the history of the island. We will be back again next year for sure. The only negative note is that LHH don't provide a receipt / invoice anymore. This is worth noting as the house is perfect for groups, but not having the appropriate paperwork for accounts can be problematic for any professionals wishing to use the lodge. hopefully this will change in the future.

  A wonderful place! Recently home from a quiet festive break in Screel View, a beautiful welcoming & spacious lodge in a great location. Cosy, clean and well equipped. The lodge sits high and from the balcony, a stunning view. The most relaxing place. The festive and personal touches including the Christmas Tree and Welcome Hamper - thank you Barbara! With elderly folk we did require a car to get out and about….there is lots to explore. My husband and I took the forest walks direct from the door to scenic Rockcliffe and Kippford….at the latter we can highly recommend the quaint waterfront cafe The Ark. Communication with the hosts/owner was excellent. We are looking to head back to explore more of the area. For sure Screel View is the place from which we will do that. Thank you, we loved it!

  Eagle Lodge is simply the best , helped in no small way by Location !

  Location! Location! Uig on the west coast of Lewis is majestic, breathtaking and hypnotic, especially viewed from the hot tub on the deck as the sun sets ! A group of family and friends-including young grandchildren-experienced the most enjoyable, idyllic and amazing fortnight in August 2023 that will long live in our memories ! We will return hopefully soon! The accommodation, facilities, and comfort of Eagle Lodge is of the highest quality and standard, and reflects in no small part, the warmth , welcome ,attention to detail, and professionalism evidenced to us by our hosts Norrie and Muriel throughout our stay! This is a not to be missed holiday property!
