Gearrannan Blackhouse Village Cafe - Isle of Lewis - Photo album
Such a beautifully crafted place, and an absolute pleasure to visit. We had a lovely chat with our guide, who was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to show us how the fabulous Harris Tweed was made. Fascinating stuff! Definitely worth a visit.
The houses were interesting, however, my favorite part by far at this stop was the scenic coastal walk. It starts directly at the village. It requires a medium level of fitness as it’s an actual hike.
Ya wanna go back in time? This is the place to do so! Unfortunately it didn’t get to stay in the village. But I slept in me van and was able to explore this unbelievably beautiful village. I highly recommend this place!
The two guides absolutely made this experience for us today. What a fascinating place, we learnt so much about the history and have a new appreciation for Harris tweed! Gearrannan is a credit to everyone who has worked to preserve it and open it to the public.
A beautifully reconstructed village on the shores of the outer Hebrides. They’ve done a great job of it! There were many places to wander to to take photos.
The cafe had excellent food and coffee options.
You can also go on a shoreline walk from there.
Very interesting museum in a sttuning location. We have been there today and we can't recommend it enough. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit. In this place you can get to know real blackstone Scottish houses and traditions and walk around the wonderful landscape. Some of the houses are aco
Gorgeous location on the sea. Very serene, sheep everywhere. Difficult to get to without your own car, but possible.
Wow, amazing history, knowledgeable hosts. It is a place that cannot be missed. Beautiful.
We booked our Blackhouse for several days, but I would have happily stayed much longer. The renovation/ restoration has maintained the look and feel of the orginal while adding modern comforts, such as underfloor heating. Fully self contained (though you will need to bring in all your own supplies),
Very interesting history. The houses are built on a slope so the cattle down the slope provide warmth coming up the slope and everything else runs down the slope. They also have one of the first looms used to make Harris Tweed.
