About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Large bungalow with spectacular views over Stornoway, the Minch and mainland.
Druim Mor House is a large detached modern house located in the quiet crofting village of Swordale, Isle of Lewis. Stornoway is only 7km away and there is a bus stop almost on the doorstep. It has 5 bedrooms, 2 of which are unusually large and appliances include WiFi, tumble dryer, dishwasher, fridges, freezer, 6+ televisions, etc. Spectacular scenery surrounds this self catering property. You will be mesmerised by the ever-changing light that dances across both land and seascapes. This is an ideal home for groups of friends or large extended families to holiday in. The village is quiet and friendly, whilst the garden is large enough for children to play. Swordale is located on the Eye Peninsula (Point – An Rubha) which is roughly 11km long. A narrow isthmus, the Braighe is only one mile in length and at one point barely 100 metres wide but it joins Point to the rest of the Isle of Lewis. You can see The Braighe from Druim Mor and you can also see Stornoway, watch the ferry arriving and view the traffic sailing into and out of Stornoway Harbour. The rest of the Hebrides is open to you: the Isle of Lewis, Gt.Bernera, the Isles of Harris and Scalpay are all within easy driving distance. The scenery en-route is breathtaking. Just a five-minute drive from the house is a popular cafe, shop, wonderful white sandy beach, museum and the ancient ruin of St.Columba’s, Eye Church. The burial ground of 19 of the Chiefs of the MacLeods of Lewis. Ten minutes to the end of Point takes you to Tiumpan Head, here is one of the best places to spot Whales, Dolphins and Basking Sharks in the UK.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 2.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board.

Perfect house for a large group
Lovely house, great location - our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer- hope to come back soon and spend more time in Stornoway and will definitely try to reserve this property again. Thank you so much John!

Peaceful and Perfect
We loved our stay in Druim Mor. Pictures do not do it justice. The house was large enough for my family group of 7. Charmingly appointed and equipped with everything that we needed. The location is just about 15 minutes outside Stornoway in a quiet neighborhood - an easy drive from the ferry - and boasts gorgeous views of the island. John the host was very responsive, helpful, and courteous. We'd definitely come back!

Amazing Family Vacation in Stornoway
This large house located in Swordle just 10 minutes from the town of Stornoway has everything you need for a family vacation! 5 bedrooms with lots of room for additional guests, this house is perfect to host large gatherings. It has an amazing view over the water where you can see ships and ferries entering the harbour. My family and I would absolutely come back to Druim Mor when visiting the Isle of Lewis.

A holiday in Lewis and Harris
A great place for our extended family, close to Stornoway but easy for the whole island.
