Isle of Lewis Waterside Holidays
Cromore, Isle of Lewis
Outer Hebrides
A stone cottage peacefully situated beside the serene waters of Loch Cromore—featuring a king-size bedroom with a private decking area, a cozy woodburning stove, a sunlit conservatory, and private lochside access.
Tucked away in a tranquil waterside setting on the Isle of Lewis, this stone-built Hebridean cottage offers a romantic retreat for couples seeking nature, stillness, and scenic beauty.
