From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and character of this lovely property. It provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable family getaway. What truly stood out was how much my family loved the experience. There were plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, from exploring the surrounding area to cozy evenings spent together. The location is also fantastic, with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to disconnect and recharge. We were thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail and the welcoming vibe throughout our stay. It felt like a home away from home, and we cherished every moment we spent there. Without a doubt, we are already planning our return to Old Mission Hall. Itâs a special place that holds a special spot in our hearts, and we canât wait to create more beautiful memories there. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delightful escape! Karen and Kathleen, thank you both from us all.

The first thing we noticed as we stopped outside was the silence,there was no noise at all. We went inside and it was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in, the welcome pack that was left for us was fantastic, there was enough for 6 and there was only 2 of us. There was everything you could need in old Mission Hall and it was all good quality even the dogs were thought about. The bed was lovely to sleep in, really comfortable and waking up and opening the curtains to the view of the Loch and surrounding countryside was heaven. Karen the housekeeper is lovely she made us feel really welcome when we met her. Old Mission Hall is a place I could call home and it was hard to leave there. The isle of Lewis is a beautiful place and everyone we met were so friendly and proud of where they lived. We will be back soon. You can see how popular Old Mission Hall is when you try to find a gap in the bookings.
