We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Hummingbird Oceanside Suites and wouldn’t hesitate to return. We especially loved the peaceful, quiet cove — the perfect place to recharge after a day of exploring all that Bowen Island has to offer.

Fantastic and peaceful stay

The property was excellent - everything we could possibly need, very well documented The location was quite remote, but so beautiful and full of wildlife - visible from the house (but not intrusive!) The house was warm and cosy even in a rather cold and rainy spring.

Lewis break

Location has some stunning views and variety of wildlife to watch. If you want a nice relaxing, quite break then this is ideal. Great location for local attractions, beaches and not too far from the main town, I would say a car is essential as it would be isolated without transport.

Stunningly remote

What a wonderful setting for a short stay in Lewis. Our host and co-host were very attentive and responded quickly to our requests for information. We had a great time visiting ancient sites and little towns and were amazed at the beautiful scenery and peaceful surroundings. A perfect escape from the busy lifestyles we tend to lead. Thank you John, Sheila and Dolina from a grateful group of Aussies.

Fantastic location

A warm, comfortable and spacious house, easily big enough for our party of five adults. The hosts were incredibly helpful and welcoming, a lovely plate of home baking was waiting for us when we arrived. The best bit was the location. It was central and convenient for exploring the island, but very peaceful and private. The views from the kitchen were amazing, and we saw otters playing on the shore below and eagles fly past our window. Thank you John and Dolina!

Great property in an excellent location.

The property was very comfortable and spacious. Everything necessary was available. We couldn't have asked for more and didn't expect what we found at at a very honest price. We cannot fault John for his cooperation and his management of the property. The information available was comprehensive and up to date. The position of the house is excellent if you have a car and want to visit all of the island. The maximum drive time was about 1 hour and fifteen minutes. We can only HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property for a vacation in the Hebrides. We hope to visit again and we would very happily stay at 5 Crulivig.

fantastic stay

Throughout this holiday experience John has fielded a million questions form me and also been unbelievable helpful and flexible as situations arose (potential issues with ferry being cancelled) the actual property was a shock as it’s significantly bigger than the pictures portrayed. The local assistance was also not expected and brilliant. The location was ideal with views to die for and easy little jaunt to go fishing. I don’t want to say much more as don’t want place to be fully booked for when we come back next year 

unieke, rustige locatie voor wandelaars

als uitvalbasis voor wandelaars ligt de woning goed, mooi uitzicht op het water en we hebben zeehonden gespot. Veel mogelijkheden om uit eten te gaan zijn er niet in de onmiddellijke omgeving en dan zou de keukenuitrusting iets uitgebreider mogen zijn.
