Peaceful Getaway

Susie was quite friendly and a wonderful host. The weaver’s shed is quaint, peaceful, and wonderful. Susie left us homemade lemon cake when we checked in and half a dozen fresh eggs we could make for breakfast. The shed overlooks a valley with a burn leading to a sea cove and it’s just a great spot if you want some peace after a day’s activities. I highly recommend staying here!

A Quiet Haven

We only had 2 nights at the Weaver's shed but would happily have stayed longer. Wonderfully peaceful and secluded and very comfortable. The sauna was a great boon.

Stay at Susan's converted shed in Tolsta

We had a great stay at Susan's, the shed is wonderful, it provided the kind of experience we expected. Susan welcomed us with home-made cake and eggs, and she was very helpful and reactive. Nice communication. We definitely recommend this place to dicover Harris and Lewis!

Wonderful getaway

Weaver's shed is a beautiful cosy wee cottage in a great secluded location with breathtaking views and only a short drive from Stornoway. I love that theres no wifi or TV and only just enough phone signal to send a quick text, perfect for a mindful retreat! I particularly enjoyed the luxurious bath and sauna that really made me relax and unwind. The host was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Tiny gem

This minute property is surprisingly well-equipped and has everything you need for a fun trip to a less well-known part of Lewis. A sauna is the crowning glory. Something different!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Loved the serenity. The sauna, large bath were very good. The small views from the window were charming with a bird feeder strategically placed for bird watching. The bed was comfortable. The refrigerator was miniscule (I was told prior to arrival it was"bench height") - it was knee height. Don't make the mistake I did and stock up on fresh food, there's barely any space. The cooking facilities were likewise minimalist. Less than one square foot of free benchspace. A constant and annoying juggle to cook a meal. On arrival I was anticipating meeting the welcoming and friendly, helpful host I had read about in reviews. Susie was in a rush, a long list of what shouldn't do, a reluctance to explain the workings of the cottage and a hurried departure. Thankfully her husband was far more forthcoming with local advise. I did appreciate, however, Susie giving me antihistamines as I developed an extremely uncomfortable allergic reaction to some plant or pollen on her property. I was, after 3 days spent indoors due to illhealth, able to drive around Lewis and enjoy it's beauty.

A cosy hideaway in a gorgeous location. The shed is a little bit larger than it looks in the photos, with a small sauna, bathtub and shower. We were certainly comfortable during our stay! Susie is super friendly and easy to get hold of, and we felt very welcome. We arrived by local bus, and exploring Lewis by bus is doable, but requires a tiny bit of planning since buses are not super frequent. We would love to come back to Lewis and the shed!

Das Häuschen hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Es ist traumhaft schön, liebevoll eingerichtet und hat alles, was man sich wünschen könnte. Die Lage ist einzigartig und man hat einen tollen Blick über die Bucht. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und hat uns wertvolle Tipps gegeben. Danke für die Brownies und die Eier.Das Häuschen ist viel größer, als es auf den Fotos aussieht. Besonders das Bad mit der Sauna und der Wanne ist ein Traum. Volle Empfehlung! Wir kommen wieder.

Warm & welcoming host . Beautiful accommodation and location.

We had a very friendly welcoming arrival from Susie. Her directions to get to property were excellent.The cottage was bigger than it looked in the pictures. It was snug and cosy and spotlessly clean, with everything we needed for our stay. And it smelled so nice. We loved the view and the remote location. Susie is a very thoughtful host. There was some home baking when we arrived, a little vase of fresh flowers and fresh eggs! The sauna was a bonus!
