Wonderfully rural, peaceful and and scenic without being too remote to visit all the sights. The cottage is just so cute and beautifully restored. It is really well equipped with modern and luxurious furnishings. Of particular note is the excellent walk in shower, big fluffy towels and free standing bath in the bedroom if you fancy a soak, as well as a large TV with sound bar. It is just perfect for two. The cottage also benefits from a garden with wooden seating overlooking a small loch.

Steve and Kim are great hosts and left us all sorts of welcome goodies,plus all the pantry and bathroom basics. There are also lots of maps, guide information, books, DVDs and games for you to enjoy.

The island of Harris & Lewis is quite unique. It might not be the warmest place in the country and it is very windy ( so make sure you bring ear muffs or a hat) but it is stunning and we are so glad we visited. We would not hesitate to return and would definitely stay at The Old Post Office again.

PS Check out The Verandah restaurant, which is only about a 15 min drive away. Excellent food and personal service. Run by a friendly husband and wife team and only has 20 covers so booking essential. read less

The cottage itself wants for nothing. It is generously filled with thoughtful extras, luxury items, a very comfotable bed, good quality linen, towels and soft furnighings. I was there in winter and really appreciated how warm the cottage was and how I always had plenty of hot water to fill the beautiful bath. The inside and outside of the cottage was immacuately clean and beautiful in design and so very comfortable. Traveling around is easy, I always felt safe and the roads were well sign posted. The days were short but the sunlight hours left plenty of time to get around and see things. The village is central to everything and the return drive to the furthest point north or south is easily achievable from the cottage in one day. If you are reading this tying to decide wether to stay in stornway or another village, do yourself a favour and stay at the Old Post Office. I loved it. Its a long way from my home in Australia to the Isles of Lewis and Harris, but I know I will be back and I know I will stay at the Old Post Office. I hope my enthusiasm for the Old Post Office had come through in this post. I can't recommend it highly enough. Steve and Kim are great hosts, thoughtful, professional, trustworthy, honest. I want to go back already. read less

It feels like a 5-star hotel with kitchen, surrounded sound TV and Netflix - plus a wee wine cellar fridge! Highly recommended to anyone visiting Lewis. Close to the Carloway Mill and the Blackhouses. And about 30 min drive to Stornoway. Definitely would go back there again in the future. read less
