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.

Lovely cabin with great view
Clearly lots of thought and care has gone into this cabin. Very clean and has everything we needed. Electricity was extra but even in February only came to just over 10/day. Host was lovely and welcomed us with cake and biscuits . Went home happy, having had a very good visit to the islands

Fantastic cottage and exceptional location
This is a clean, warm and comfortable cottage which is very well equipped. It has fantastic views over the loch. The hosts are exceptionally kind. For example, we notified that we would arrive late. It was dark and wet on arrival but our hosts had the lights and fire on and even the electric blanket. We had a super holiday and would definitely stay again. Mgt & Eddie, Livingston

Idyllic home from home holiday let
Never stayed in such a well equipped, homely, comfortable and clean holiday let! Everything had been thought of. The addition of being able to use The Sheiling by the Loch was icing on the cake, what a special place! Beaches out of this world too!

Wonderful stay
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.

Lovely clean and well kitted out property in a good location with lovely view. We really enjoyed our stay part from the very expensive electricity meter which ticked over at an alarming rate.

The chalets are located in the perfect, quiet area to enjoy the Hebrides- all amenities, great views, and firm bed! But what makes the stay special, is Christine. Her warmth, vibrancy, caring and soul makes you never want to leave! Thank you Christine - your new friends from the Hudson valley ny

This chalet exceeded our expectations. Never been to such a well equipped self catering accommodation ! Absolutely fabulous. And the view astounding. Impressed so much booked to stay for 2 weeks in 2023! Really couldn’t fault it. And the property managers so nice and friendly. Typical island folk!!

Best VRBO Experience since we arrived in Scotland!!
This is a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom chalet with a million dollar view! It is immaculately clean and the owner’s pride ownership can be seen throughout this well decorated and maintained property. The host provided lots of informative reading information about Lewis and the kitchen was fully stocked. The host anticipates all of the travelers needs and is easy to communicate with. This is a five star property and if I ever return to Lewis I would definitely stay here again!

Then property was as described and was fully equipped with everything that we needed. The owner was communicative and reassuring. So was his mother who welcomed us with cake. One tiny addition that would have helped us after a long drive would have been a little milk for us to make tea? That is quite picky though.

Disappointing
Location as expected, sadly the lodge was not. We spent the 1st evening cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms as all were dirty, having to drive to Stornowy for more cleaning supplies as were running out at gone 9pm. The big bathroom smelt of stale urine throughout the stay, despite us scrubbing the toilet and Lino several times. The towels were thin, small and at least 2 were ripped or had holes in them, 2 also had stains on them. The sinks and taps were dirty and the shower had mould in it and didn’t drain properly. The toothbrush holder/ pot was filthy inside. The kitchen worktops had old food stuck on them, coffee granules, peas and crumbs by the plenty. The cutlery drawer and trays were full of crumbs and hairs and the cupboard fronts and shelves were dirty and smelt musty. We washed what crockery/ cutlery we needed before we used it and kept it all on the worktop for the duration of our stay. The dishwasher had no rinse aid or salt in it and was so noisy it either kept us awake or spoiled our evening. One half of the toaster didn’t heat up at all. The fridge had a big hair in it and wasn’t clean. The kitchen sink was the worst we’ve ever seen. All the bedroom furniture was dusty and we found hairs on the bedside tables and ornaments and stains on the doilies, on a cushion on the bed and on the pillow cases. The rugs on the floors and sofas were full of bits. If we could have found somewhere else to stay we would have left but Vrbo didn’t reply to our request.
