  • "Old Croft House is a treasure, beautifully situated above a wide bay, excellently equipped, full of lovingly collected things. A very pleasant, cosy atmosphere, with the wood-burning stove adding the finishing touch. The generous room layout is remarkable, all the rooms have their own character, as do the bathrooms. Everything was just right for us right from the start, we had a very nice stay!"

  • "We all loved the Old Croft Cottage! The house was comfortable and full of character. It had everything a visitor needs and felt like home from home. The location was convenient for Tarbert, Scalpay and the wider attractions of Harris and Lewis. Our hosts were always friendly, helpful and super-quick to respond to any queries. We had a wonderful week - thanks!"

  • "The charming + very beautiful Old Croft house found a special place in our travelling hearts. We had a magnificent time. We highly recommend a stay. We much enjoyed the stunning views across the bay with our morning coffees + evening teas. Rod had been proactively attentive throughout our stay. We were made to feel welcome + comfortable at all times. We remain very grateful about it all + wish we could have stayed on longer."

  • "We have had a great week at The Old Croft - it is a beautiful, characterful, historical and interesting place to stay, much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside! It’s gorgeous and cosy inside, and the views are spectacular. It is well-equipped with everything you may need, hosts Rod & Katrin are helpful and easy to communicate with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a visit!"
