The property was my grandfather's house and it was fully renovated in 2007. It has great sea views from all the rooms and is in a very peaceful village, away from the main road. The area has amazing beaches and walks, as well as good amenities such as a sports centre (including a gym and bowling alley), shops and some options to eat out. There's a great playpark for kids at Europie Dunes Park. The house has underfloor heating and an air source heat pump means that the temperature is very comfortable and steady. I am gradually upgrading the house to run on renewables. The shower is very good and the bath is a great size as well. It's 35 minutes from Stornoway and is well placed for trips up the West Side to the Calanish Stones and the Carloway Broch. Ness itself has a lot of history, unbelievable archaeology (Chris Barrowman's book 'Archaeology of Ness' is a great source), and some very interesting sites to visit and wildlife.

Welcome - fàilte. My name is Iain F Macleod, I am from the Isle of Lewis and thank you for thinking of staying at Macleod Cottage. I work in education and am also a playwright and filmmaker, so there's a good number of books in the house. I hope the place gives you some space to think and relax, be creative and get out in nature. If you need any help at all with your trip, feel free to get in touch. Regards, Iain F.
