Local area

The Old Croft House is situated on a working croft in the centre of Back village, a fertile crofting township in the North East of the Isle of Lewis and Harris, the largest of the Outer Hebridean islands, just 7 miles North of the main town of Stornoway. Back is an ideal location for a visit to the Hebrides. The long white sands of Back and Gress beaches are a few minutes walk from the house in one direction. Walk the other way and you're soon striding across miles of heathery moor, dotted with trout-filled lochs and, through which the Gress river runs (noted for its salmon and sea trout). There are plenty of quiet single track croft roads leading into the moorland, ideal if you feel like doing some cycling.

Back is well supplied with amenities too. You will be guaranteed a warm welcome in the local shop and Post Office (1/2 mile away), which boasts the cheapest fuel on the island. The village also has a hairdresser, a pharmacy and a gift shop. If you feel like eating out there are a variety of restaurants in Stornoway, or various take-away outlets, a 15 minute drive from the house.
