Dun Eistein is a traditional family house in the crofting village of Northton in South Harris. The house is not on a croft but there is a small garden with picnic table, chairs and bench.
Harris is an island of contrasts in the Outer Hebrides and boasts some wonderful beaches. Although named the Isle of Harris, it is in fact the southern part of Lewis and Harris. The northern part of Harris is hilly, the east is rocky with numerous lovely bays and the south west is flatter with many fine beaches. Northton is a good base from which to explore the island and from which to visit some of the other islands.
The house is generally child friendly and games, books and DVDs are available for your use. There is a small range of wellington boots (the sun doesn’t always shine!), buckets and spades in the porch.
Oil central heating, which is included in the cost as well as electricity, ensures a warm, comfortable home.

The house was excellent with lots of space for a family. Location was perfect for us and the communication with the owner was great. Kitchen was well equipped and we had lots of space in the dining room for high chair. Would definitely stay there again.
