About
Welcome to our Historic 18th Century Hebridean Farmhouse full character & charm. We are a working Croft offering a unique taste of Hebridean croft life. Located in the small crofting community of South Galson on the far north west coast of the Isle of Lewis.
Ideal for visitors who want to get away from it all & stay a while to experience a peaceful more slower pace of life & enjoy the unique culture of this special area of Lewis has to offer.
We are just 500 metres from the beach with panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean & the dramatic coastline towards the Butt of Lewis lighthouse.
From our stone walled garden breathe in the quality fresh sea air & enjoy watching the ever changing scenery, lambs in the crofts & the abundance of wildlife, golden eagle & migrating birds. There are Coastal walks from the doorstep & we are situated on the Hebridean Way.
Close to many beautiful unspoilt beaches including Eoropie Beach, Port Stoth & Port of Ness. A short drive to the ancient Clach An Truisal standing stone, Steinacleit, Callanish standing stones, the Blackhouse at Arnol & the Gearrannan Blackhouse village. Explore a little further down the west coast to Uig with it's stunning beaches of Ardroil & Valtos. The Isle of Harris is a 1 hour drive away
