“Amazing - one for the soul!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

We stayed in Am Bothan (Sand Street) for 6 nights. Superb location within easy reach of Stornoway town centre but just enough privacy and peace and quiet too. This little hideaway is perfectly located to travel all around Lewis and Harris and is a delightfully safe and cosy place to return to at the end of a busy day walking on deserted beaches and discovering what fabulous wildlfie swims the shores of this amazing Island. Am Bothan is a little gem and we'll definitely be back. Morag's welcome was first class and she was on hand throughout our stay - some larger hotel chains could learn a lot here! I cannot recommend this Island enough (Lewis and Harris) and if it's peace and quiet you're after at a fair price, Am Bothan's just perfect. Bathroom's a bit on the small side but there's too much to see to waste it lying in a bath :). Definitely worth investing in the Rough Guide to Scottish Highlands and Islands for the best beaches. If you're even remotely interested in surfing or sea swimming - don't forget to pack the wet suits and binoculars are a must too (dolphins, basking sharks, otters etc. )
I only hope this place doesn't get swamped with visitors so its charm and tranquility gets ruined before our next visit!

“A very comfortable stay with all mod cons very close to stornoway.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2011 via mobile

We felt totally at home within minutes of arriving and thoroughly enjoyed our short break. The house is very well appointed and furnished to a high standard with a delightful pony living next door to keep the kids happy.

The beaches on Uig and Harris are truly spectacular if you are lucky enough with the weather.

Stornaway is very close to the house and has pretty much all you would expect with a museum, restaurants and supermarkets.

All in all a very comfortable break a home from home.

“Perfect escape - next to broad bay but very close to all amenities.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2011

Stayed at craigroyston. Warm welcome from morag and much appreciated early access to house after 3.30am start.

The house has everything you need. I loved the full length windows all around the house so no matter where you were you could see triple/quad aspect windows.

Fab place to spend a sunny day or just relax and listen to rain and watch the clouds through the skylights.

Morag and graham have a great property here and highly recommend.

“Our Second Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2011

We have just enjoyed our second visit to Metagama Lodge and as before we have had a wonderful time. Morag and Graham could not have done more to make our stay special. There is so much to see and do on the island and the views can not fail to impress. If you would like to see some great photographs of the island then visit the website of James Smith, a local photographer from Brue, Isle of Lewis (www.oiseval.co.uk) he has definitely captured the spirit and warmth of the island.

A very comfortable house with plenty of room and great position alongside a working croft which had new born lambs. Excellent position for walking in to Stornoway and near great beaches as well.
