Absolutely amazing, would definitely go back.
The house was amazing, it was like a show house, very tastefully decorated and furnished. The location was perfect for exploring Harris and we only wished that we had more time there.
Nothing- the whole experience was outstanding.

Beautiful, comfortable cottage.
The location was absolutely amazing. Lovely island, very peaceful. The sheiling was fantastic, spotlessly clean. Had everything you need and more! Beds very comfy, lots of towels and hot tub as an added extra.

It is a lovely property clean and in a beautiful location .
The location is amazing. If you walk up to the bench the view is spectacular
I thought the hot tub would have been ready to use but you had to heat for around four hours

Had potential to be really lovely, just a shame it didn’t quite live up to it.
The mattresses were comfy and there was a lovely couple of bags of biscuits and a wine in the fridge on our arrival. The actual island of Scalpay itself is lovely as are Harris and Lewis.
I’ve never written a bad review but I have to agree with some of the other reviews: the photos make it look like it’s remote with a garden & states it’s a sea view. It’s not. The neighbours we met were lovely but you can be seen from all the bedrooms. There are only 3 not 4 by the way. The 4th advertised is the sofa bed in the games room, but the games have been removed. There are only 6 chairs, which are fraying a little, & you can’t fit 8 round the table. The hot tub was full & dirty when we arrived & you have to fill it, pay for extra wood after your first bag and then drain it, all details of which are sent over just before you arrive. It states it takes hours to fill and drain so we sadly didn’t attempt it. The bench in the pictures is a little walk away, they state to follow the lights but as they’d been blown over it took us three attempts (we fixed the ones we could see to help the next guests) The Wi-Fi codes in the pdf they sent are wrong so that should be amended to save stress. There’s no kettle and we couldn’t ever get the boiling tap to get to boiling point so resorted to pans on the hob for making hot drinks. One bathroom sink takes ages to drain, one doesn’t fill and the waterfall tap doesn’t quite fit the sink so when you turn it on it splashes back at you (change of outfit required) There weren’t enough bedroom lamps for the beds. There were missing light bulbs. It would be nice to have a table and chairs outside to enjoy. The garden is really just a little walkway covered in nettles so not good for children. We’d also been told we could have the place to ourselves on our last day but then told it had been double booked and we’d not only have to leave early but also clean it. When I asked if we’d could expect compensation I was told they ‘weren’t sure what the inconvenience was’ All that’s stated to do when you leave is turn the heaters and switches off & leave the used towels in the bath.

Overall quality standard of accommodation in lovely quiet location, with good support if required.
The standard of fixtures and fittings was very good and well laid out. The owner was very good at supplying initial information prior to travel and support when required by telephone/text during stay. Nice welcome pack and additional help from local staff. Supply of coffee for coffee machine was nice touch (although milk frother is missing tube for white coffee). Good selection of wines in honesty wine rack.
Unfortunately the wood fired Hot Tub was not up to hygiene standard expected upon arrival as water clarity left a lot to be desired. Had to empty and refill on first night which was not ideal. This may be due to responsibility for emptying and refilling left to guests ( I doubt previous guests had done this!) Maybe consideration for onsite staff to ensure tub is clean and fresh water is in place prior to new guests arrival.

Beautiful house. Stunning location. The bits you pay extra for are not worth it
The interior of the house is beautiful and small touches on arrival very nice
We were unaware about the time scale and adding around for the hot tub and gave up. The internet was really poor and the coffee machine couldn’t work as no pipe for the milk
