    There's an amazing sense of calmness at Bosta that I can't quite describe.

    We enjoyed our stay here a lot. The set-up was very comfortable for two couples traveling together, with a good-sized and well-equipped kitchen, living room with coal-burning fireplace and comfy couches, two bedrooms, and one full bath. The beds are comfortable, and the cottage was very cozy during a chilly week. The view from the windows is indeed stunning! The location is great for touring around Lewis and Harris, as well as for walking.

    “The Valasay Croft house has it all!”
    Reviewed October 19, 2011 for a stay in October 2011

    We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience on the Island of Lewis and Harris. Staying at the Valasay Cottage made it all just perfect. Not only is the house the perfect refuge after a day of being "out and about" in this rugged, history filled, and amazing island, but Chris Ryan -- the husband of Anne who charmingly runs the self catering cottage -- is an excellent tour guide in his own right. We spent three full days touring with him and found him an interesting and well informed source on all that is Lewis and Harris.
