Putting this into context, we had struggled to find any places open serving any food / coffee etc all morning while driving round the north of Lewis so happening on this place was simply wonderful! The local Historical Society have done a fantastic job at taking the old school house and sympathetically creating a modern multi-purpose facility for the community; the cultural centre with interesting exhibits and a lovely little cafe (oh and a little shop selling local arts and crafts amongst other things) Notwithstanding our dire need to eat, this was a truly wonderful little gem of a place with really friendly and helpful staff.

It also seems to us that this place was an important community meeting point which is a great thing. …

The Historical Society has made an amazing effort to refurbish their premises- more light and airy but with the same high quality cafe and shop with a very informative museum giving insight to the local history and rich culture.

This is a local museum, shop and cafe based in an old school. It's been modernised recently and there is a lot more space for the old artefacts and art exhibitions. The shop is well stocked with gifts, souvenirs and books. Well worth visiting.
