Carloway Self Catering

About

5a was originally built in the early 1950’s when the family moved from the traditional stone house (An Taigh Clach).  A complete renovation of this two-storey property was recently completed and consists of an open plan kitchen / dining area, lounge with a multi fuel stove and ample wood and peat for the duration of your stay, family bathroom with bath and separate shower, master double bedroom, utility room and WC all on the ground floor. 

Double and twin bedrooms are located upstairs along with a small seating area for some quiet reading or just sitting back and relaxing.  Both the lounge and dining room have patio doors leading to the fenced garden. There are two decked areas with patio furniture to allow ‘al fresco’ dining and behold the stunning sunsets and the elusive ‘merry dancers’ (aurora borealis). To the rear of the property, the garage has been repurposed as a games room with pool table, dart board, wide screen TV, drinks cooler with seating for those just wishing to ‘chill’ and an infra-red sauna. 

We are currently in the process of installing an outdoor, off grid, wood fired hot tub which we hope to have operational by late summer 2023.  We are active crofters and guests are very welcome to join us ‘on the croft’ which could involve anything from lambing in the spring, sheep shearing in the summer, lamb sales in the Autumn, peat cutting and lifting or just pottering around in our polytunnel.
