Thanks for taking the time to review the property. We appreciate meeting up with you and the rest of the party and thank you for opting to stay at An Airigh.
Excellent location,very clean and had all the conveniences needed for our stay to attend my son's wedding. Ken and Isobel were perfect hosts on hand if needed, which we didn't. The vrbo details listed a hot tub being at the property. This was false.

Thanks for taking the time to review the property. You are correct in your statement referring to a hot tub in the description. This has now been deleted and should never have been included in the first place. We regret not having spotted this earlier and was an oversight on our part.
Great to meet owners lovely people helpful and thoughtful gave us good information about island and we enjoyed our stay , 5 minuets from Stornaway town centre by car . We had a great time done all the stone circle visits and went down to Harris beaches took 1 hour to get there well worth the visit .
The Kennedys were very friendly and welcoming. I really appreciated how well stocked the house was with just about everything we needed as well as some basic food and supplies to tide us over as we arrived late on a sunday evening. The house was super clean. We really enojoyed our stay.

OverpricedOld fashionedOverlooked on a housing estatePadlocked heating systemNo back doorPatio was just a square of uneven grey slabs witha dilapidated picnic tableBed was smallBathroom adequate Toiletcwas right up against the wall with a loose seat,difficult to use
Ideal base for exploring the island with all you could need to self cater and of a good standard. A bottle of wine and
tea & coffee on arrival a kind touch.
Beds comfortable and plenty of hot water. Road is quiet and parking straightforward. There is even a bakery/store round the corner. What’s not to like?
