As you can see I'm grey and bald. Its been a hard life! I studied engineering and then computing and then started an IT company which kept me occupied for the next 30+ years. My wife and I are grandparents, but there's life in us yet. We love travelling. Europe (Germany in particular), USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Namibia and South Africa. I want my guests to come and enjoy my houses in and around Stornoway, experience the lifestyle and the stunning scenery. Get out and see the place! Even in bad weather, its beautiful.

This is a 3 bedroom semi detached house. The living room has a commanding view over Loch Erisort towards The Clisham, at 799 metres the highest mountain in the Outer Hebrides. The house forms part of a small housing scheme built around the 1960's from Swedish kit. Many guests have told us the bedrooms are surprisingly spacious [one is 15 feet long]. There is a kitchen with dining area, living room and bathroom. Bathroom is new and has a shower but no bath. The house does have stairs. Children are welcome. If you have any special requirements for your children, please let us know in advance. Floors downstairs and upstairs are laminate. We find this more hygienic. There is a small garden at the front and a generous garden at the rear.

Halfway between Tarbet and Stornoway, the house is situated in picturesque Balallan which, at almost 4 miles long, is the longest village on the Isle of Lewis and indeed Northern Scotland. Balallan lies along the northern side of Loch Erisort. There are many areas nearby suitable for hiking, fishing or kayaking.
