Old Croft House, Back, Isle of Lewis, Western Isles, Outer Hebrides (Sleeps 1-8)


The Old Croft House can be found on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles. It is a high-quality holiday home that can sleep up to 8 people. It is set on a working croft in the village of Back. This family-friendly accommodation is ideal for those who want to explore the Outer Hebrides.

The holiday home has been thoughtfully appointed to ensure guests have a relaxing base from which to explore the area and to ensure it feels like a home away from home. 

You are not cut off from civilization completely here, whilst you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful Scottish location, there is Wi-Fi internet access throughout the house and a Smart TV for you to enjoy during your stay.

The Old Croft House is located on a working croft almost exactly in the centre of Back village, a fertile crofting township in the north-east of the Isle of Lewis. Just seven miles north of the main town of Stornoway, Back is an ideal location for a holiday in 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 the 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.

Tosson Tower Farm Cottages, Great Tosson, Rothbury, Northumberland (Sleeps 1-6)


Tosson Tower Farm Cottages are located in Great Tosson near the village of Rothbury in Northumberland. Tosson Tower makes an ideal base from which to explore the many attractions this beautiful part of the world offers. The accommodation is open all year round and is equally beautiful in the winter too!

From coast to country, history is all around you. From the mysterious "Cup & Ring" marks carved into the rocks in Iron Age times in the hills just above Tosson Tower Farm, to the highest number of castles and fortified houses in England and not forgetting the World Heritage Centre of Hadrian's Wall, once the most northern boundary of the Roman Empire.

Tosson Tower itself is the remains of a fortified Pele Tower, a defensive structure built in medieval times to defend against the bands of raiders who patrolled the "Debatable Lands" of the borders.

Castles are dotted up and down the coastline (all open to visitors) and are well worth a trip. From Lindisfarne on Holy Island, the birthplace of Christianity in the British Isles. The romantic cliff-top ruins of Dunstanburgh. Magnificent Bamburgh with its very own dragon legend! And not forgetting Alnwick, ancestral home to the Duke of Northumberland.
