We offer our guests the opportunity to be collected and returned either to the airport at Stornoway or to and from the Stornoway ferry terminal.

- Short term lets holiday accommodation in Scotland is required to have an operating licence from the local authority. We are delighted that our licence from Western Isles council was granted on 12th January 2023 Number ES00005F which will run for three years. The short term lets legislation was passed by the Scottish Government to ensure that all lettable accommodation meets the requirements of the law principally for the safety of our valued guests. We are required to publish documentation that shows Pabbay House meets the requirements. This documentation is within the Pabbay House welcome folder available for guests to view.
Whats around us
On a clear day there are outstanding views from the house across the minch to the mainland of Scotland. The mountains of Assynt and Sutherland can be clearly seen. One of the advantages of the Island of Lewis being situated in the North of Scotland is that between October and April the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis can be seen on a regular basis.
Alternatively again due to the latitude the Island of Lewis experiences very little darkness during the summer months. In fact around the turn of midsummer there is no darkness at all, there is a transition from daylight to dusk and back again to daylight in a very short period of time. To fully appreciate this one really has to experience it for themselves.
The house is ideally situated for all the outdoor activities the Outer Hebrides has to offer. This includes fresh water and salt water fishing, bird watching, hill walking, cycling, or simply enjoying the stunning scenery walking along one of the many beaches in close proximity to the house.
