About this property

Self catering holiday chalet Erisort

The two chalets, ‘Erisort’ and ‘Orisaigh’, are located within the village of Leurbost, in the North Lochs area of the Isle of Lewis, and a 10 minute drive from the main town of Stornoway.
Built from Siberian larch timber, each chalet sleeps 4 persons.

In addition to 2 spacious bedrooms, there is a fully fitted modern kitchen, a bathroom with shower, and a separate toilet. The open-plan dining and living room area commands extensive panoramic views over sea lochs and the hills of Lewis and Harris. Patio doors open onto an extensive decking area that is ideal for barbecues and outdoor dining. Both chalets provide wheelchair access and are suitable for individuals with impaired mobility.

The chalets are fitted with modern appliances and a WIFI connection is also available.
This is a truly inspirational place for all the family to enjoy their holiday and to return home with unforgettable memories of these magical Hebridean Isles.

Each chalet has an adjacent dog kennel and separate outhouse, which provides washing and drying facilities. Separate parking is available directly outside the chalets, with sufficient space for several vehicles. A licensed local shop, and petrol station, is conveniently situated within a short drive or 15 minute walk. The shop offers an extensive range of groceries and fresh daily produce. In addition, the shop complex features a hairdressing salon and small cafeteria.

As an additional attraction, guests will be able to enjoy the benefits of a well-fitted sheiling (bothy) called ‘Airidh Nisreabhal’, which is the Gaelic name for the nearby hill and loch situated in this majestic location. It is conveniently placed en-route to the famous and mystical ‘Callanish stones’ and is just a short 3 minute drive from the chalets. The sheiling provides an excellent vantage point for bird watchers and hillwalkers, or, alternatively, a place of tranquility and relaxation for surfers, fishermen, businessmen, honeymooners and indeed anyone else who would like to enjoy the peaceful island country life.


The Chalet is fitted with an Electricity meter which can be topped up at the local shop 1.5 miles away.

We had a very good stay in this very comfortable and well equipped chalet overlooking Loch Erisort. We met the very friendly and knowledgable owner and she was very helpful during Storm Amy when we didn't know if we were going to be able to leave the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

We spent a cosy 2 nights in the Erisort Lodge , everything was perfect . Comfy beds , good shower , well equipped kitchen . tons of local brochures on things to do , maps etc . The location of the lodge is perfect for both Harris and Lewis . We had a very friendly call from Christine before our arrival giving us directions and she even popped by after her nightshift to say hello in person at the lodge itself . What a lovely thoughtful thing to do . The silence and the views were wonderful and we ate delicious Loch Leurbost mussels in the Boat Shed restaurant in Stornoway. Would def recommend this stay to anyone

Beautiful view; well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and furniture. Close to everything.Add “French press for coffee” to listing. Porch light should be lit if guests are arriving after dark. Not sure why electricity can’t be included in the cost if the rental plus the host can’t except credit card for utility payment

An absolute treat after a long time camping and in our motorhome with daughter hiking the Hebridean Way in pretty atrocious weather. Lovely to be in the cosy comfort of the lodge. Communication with Don was good and nice that Christine popped by in the first evening to say hello. Ask about the shelling - we didn’t have a key but had a peer in on our way up to Stornaway and it would be a fab writing or artist place while you are staying. Couldn’t quite fathom the electrics as the local shop wouldn’t allow us to top up meter but all worked out in the end. Recommended.

Beautiful setting, convenient location. We were able to see all the sites we had wanted on Lewis. If you are there on a Sunday, plan better than we did and either make a reservation at one of the few open restaurants or plan for take away. Chalet was everything we expected it to be.
