Arnol House | Detached spacious Isle of Lewis cottage in tranquil position with loch view

3 Bedroom House in Arnol, Carloway

Three bed roomed detached house situated yards from the shore of Loch Carloway (Sea loch). Recently renovated, it is in the perfect position on the West Coast of the Island to visit such historical sites as the Callanish Standing Stones and the Carloway Broch. Also in the village are the world renowned Garenin Black Houses which give an indication as to how Islanders lived in days gone bye. There are two fantastic beaches (Dalmore and Dalbeg) within 5 minutes drive and some stunning inland and coastal walks accessible from the property. There are many trout lochs in the locality and Salmon fishing on the Carloway River (Permits available from Carloway Angling Club). Sea angling, beach fishing and pier fishing are also popular activities.
The property has recently been refurbished with a new kitchen, bathroom, new wooden flooring and carpets throughout. There are 2 double bedrooms, one with a double bed the other with two singles. A third bedroom has bunk beds ideally suited for children. A cot is also available.
There are fishing rods for use, beach furniture and numerous children's toys kept in the detached garage. Wi Fi is also available
Guest access
Guests will full access to all parts of the property with the exception of one locked cupboard in the bunk bedroom.
Interaction with guests
There will always be someone on hand to deal with any enquiries. A full list of things to do will be available in the house
Other things to note
When booking it is essential to check that if you are bringing a car that there is space on the ferry as in Summer they tend to be well booked.
There is no shop or petrol station in Carloway. The closest are either at Barvas or Cameron Terrace/Leurbost where you can get a good selection of food, wines and spirits and both have
petrol/diesel. They also carry a diverse range of other goods – from midge repellent. There are fishing rods for use, beach furniture and numerous children's toys kept in the detached garage. Wi Fi is also available and fishing gear to surf equipment (Barvas). In Stornoway there are two supermarkets – Tesco near the ferry terminal and the Coop on the way out of town toward the west side.
The Doune Braes Hotel provides meals (best to book) and takeaway food. It has a bar and lounge. Forty North (Bragar) does the same but you need to pre-order takeaway and collect. Menus for both Doune Braes and Forty North are in the folder but may be subject to change.
There is of course a wide selection of restaurants in Stornoway - An Lanntair has a top class chef in Kenny Mackay and Digby Chick is recommended. Don’t go past Cameron’s fish and chip shop without sampling!
Getting around
A car is essential
Ferry:
Most people travel to Lewis by sea using Caledonian McBrayne. They operate twice daily services from Ullapool to Stornoway, or alternatively they operate a shorter ferry crossing between Uig (Isle of Skye) and Tarbert (Harris). The Ferry fares are really competitive as opposed to flying and hiring a car.
Carloway is about 24 miles from Stornoway, and about 45 miles from Tarbert. Follow signs for Càrlabhagh (Carloway) on the A858. Remember to look out for the Gaelic name on road signs. When you reach Carloway you pass over the only flyover in the Western Isles and turn hard left heading for the pier signposted Cidhe Càrlabhagh. Follow the road to the right and it is the last house on the right with a distinctive red garage door
Flying:
The only airport on the island is in Stornoway . Flybe operate daily flights to Stornoway from Inverness, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Eastern Airways operate flights, Monday to Friday, to Stornoway from Aberdeen.
Car Hire:
There are a number of car hire companies including Stornoway car hire, Lewis Car Rental and Isle of Harris car hire.

Summary: We loved our stay here on Lewis. The house had everything you could need, the coziest kitchen, books and toys for the kids, beach towels, beach things, and the best part, the owners are so lovely and provided so much info on the area and their family history which made it really special. The house is in a beautiful spot and near to a very well stocked community supermarket.

John D. Jun 17, 2025 05:30:30 PM

Summary: A lovely, comfortable and well-equipped cottage at a beautiful location. Kenny and Mairi were very helpful. The community shop in Carloway was very convenient for groceries. Fantastic beaches are nearby and it is only a short drive to the Calanais Standing Stones. A great base to explore the Isle of Lewis.

Summary: We loved staying in this peaceful cottage. Lovely spot for exploring the Isle of Lewis!

Summary: The house was in a nice area near Carloway. You have views of the water from the front of the house. The instructions that were sent prior to arriving were very detailed. Being an older house and next to the sea, it is very understandable that we could smell a lot of mold in the house. It was so strong it made both of us feel unwell. If you are susceptible to mold, I would contact the owner to see what remedy that have done. We did not contact the owner about the issue during our 3 night stay as we know there was nothing they could do to fix it.

Kris G. May 15, 2025 06:29:21 PM

Summary: Very clean, perfectly appointed small cottage in quiet location. Close to the highway for access to elsewhere on the island. Hosts were very helpful and responsive, including leaving us a welcome snack. They had a binder full of local activities/recommendations. The kitchen had all the amenities you could wish for. Our stay was so peaceful,..

Summary: The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a holiday on Lewis. The rooms are spacious, the community shop is near by, and there a many places to walk. It’s like home away from home and the perfect place to explore the isle of Lewis.

els d. Sep 13, 2024 04:13:57 AM

Summary: We came in late but had a very warm and nice welcom and good and helpful contact with the owner. The house was complete with everything you need, and for the first evening and morning there also was some food present. We had a stay of only 3 nights, but would have liked to stay longer. Hope to come back in future.

Summary: Kenny and Mairi were fantastic at communicating and making sure we found Lithir with perfect directions. The home was better than we imagined and the children loved all the hidden gems of toys, games, puzzles, maps, books and more. The views were beautiful and the house so cosy. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Summary: What's not to like? A very comfortable cottage by the side of the loch in Carloway, We were all very comfortable and spoiled by the well-equipped kitchen, ideal for self-catering. Plenty of instruction books for those not familiar with induction hobs, lots of reading material about the locale, nice to have the well-stocked community shop nearby. A wonderful place to stay as a base for Lewis and Harris. Thank you!
