Evenings at SEAcroft

Designed to be relaxed and unhurried. After a day exploring the Isle of Lewis, guests and visitors come here to settle in, eat well and enjoy the quiet rhythm of the evening.

The small dining room looks out across the Atlantic and is open to both residents and non-residents. You don’t need to be staying with us to dine.


The way we cook

Cooking at SEAcroft is shaped by the seasons and by what is available locally. We use the best Hebridean produce we can source – seafood from local waters, meat and vegetables from the island, and ingredients grown or reared on our own croft where possible. The food is generous, carefully prepared and rooted in this place. The focus is on flavour, warmth and ease rather than formality or theatre.

Dinner at SEAcroft

Dinner is served in the evening in our dining room overlooking the sea.

  • À la carte menu: Monday to Saturday
  • Sunday: Traditional Sunday roast

We serve wine, cocktails and other drinks, so you can enjoy the whole evening here without needing to drive elsewhere afterwards.

A place to settle in

With dinner, drinks and Atlantic views all in one place, the evening naturally slows. Tables are yours for the night, the atmosphere is calm and friendly, and conversation is always optional. It’s an evening designed to feel comfortable, complete and quietly looked after.

Our bar is thoughtfully stocked with Scottish whiskies, a wide range of gins – including many from the Outer Hebrides – carefully chosen wines to complement the food, a small cocktail list, and good alcohol-free options.

Its a place to slow down: a glass of wine or a cocktail as the light fades over the Atlantic, a book from our local library, or a board game by the window while the waves roll in.

Breakfast

Guest Reviews


  • What a treat! – One of the best rooms in anywhere, equal to and better than most 5 star hotels. Absolutely everything in it that is needed and all working perfectly. Andrew produced the most wonderful dishes to Michelin star standards with Sarah organising everything magnificently. How they manage this and run a croft is quite amazing!

  • Outstanding – What a fantastic place. Visited on my motorcycle, turns out not to be my brightest of ideas given the weather. Sarah was fantastic and very knowledgeable of the area. My highlight was the food. Andrew you have a talent my friend! That was truly outstanding and the scallops. The goats cheese massala OMG!! My motorcycle broke down, not a problem. Andrew lent me his van so I could pick up a new battery. You saved the day. My room was amazing, I saw a golden Eagle just fly past. The stars of a night the brightest I ever saw. You can’t plan the weather but my stay was just amazing. Thank you and hope to see you both again in the not too distant future, by car!!! Lol
