The Nicolson House is a traditional croft house in the small village of Lemreway, at the head of Loch Shell in the South of Lewis, Isle of Harris and Isle of Lewis. Sleeping up to six, it offers a sitting room with an open or electric fire, a fully equipped kitchen, a modern bathroom, and a newly installed sauna room to relax in after a day outdoors. Bedrooms enjoy views over the village and harbour, and the setting is almost equidistant from the north of Lewis and the south of Harris, making it a good base for hillwalking, trout and sea fishing, and birdwatching. From the village there are views of the Shiant Islands and, on clear days, Skye and the mainland. Ravenspoint Museum and Kinloch Historical Society are both within easy reach.
