Seaview is a lovely cottage. Exceptionally clean and fitted out to a high standard. Having easily accessible ground floor bedrooms, walk in shower room - as well as 2 more bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor - met the needs of everyone in our group. The property was spacious but cosy and comfortable to be in too. The kitchen had lots of cooking utensils, plates and dishes, which made it really easy to prepare meals and eat in. Little touches like a hamper with bread and snacks, milk and butter in the fridge when we arrived, were a really thoughtful touch from the hosts, who were easily contactable if needed. I would definitely recommend Seaview cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and holiday in Lewis.
