This was our 2nd stay here, as this cottage has completely ruined us for staying anywhere else. Beautiful, comfortable furnishings, a fully kitted kitchen, unbelievable views from everywhere in the house, particularly the dining room/window seats and the living room. Northton's beach is @5-10 minutes' walk from the cottage door, and there is a lovely little place called Croft 36 5-10 minutes' walk up the road that does a small but delicious selection of homemade butteries (Hebridiean pastry, just divine), hot and cold seafood sandwiches, veg and meat pasties, various pies, and made-to-order pizza. It is well worth the long journey to get here - a beautiful place. The owner was response to messages and has family in the area, who were extremely helpful with queries and easy to reach if you have any questions about anything. We can't reommend it highly enough. Thank you for another superb stay!

A wonderful warm, well equipped, comfortable cottage with lovely views from the big windows. Beautiful beaches a 10 minute walk away. The bread shed in the village to get fresh rolls, pizza and ready meals. Complete peace. Lovely

We had an excellent stay. The property is very spacious in every respect. Kitchen/diner, living room, bedroom, toilet and bathroom all give a comfortable sense of space and ease of movement. The bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped - everything we could want. The knives are good and sharp - not always the case at self catering places! The views are truly magnificent - coast, beach, mountains and also village buildings giving a human scale to it. Famous beaches are very close by and they deserve their fame. Beautiful sand, clean and fine, and great views of the sea and the land. Croft 36, Leverburgh Community Store and the Isle of Harris Brewery provided all the sustenance we needed - full of character, good tastes and friendly staff. We have an EV and were pleased to have a convenient charge point at Leverburgh Harbour. We were well supported by the host and a relative living nearby during a heating glitch and power cut. The place does have a very positive feel to it because of the building itself but also the style and commitment of the family who run it. Many thanks..The journey from Northumberland is long but well worth it and we would like to come again sometime.

It would have been perfect, if the door had been open when we arrived. We were told that it would be open with the key on the inside of the door. It wasnt and after a 7 hour drive arriving at 9.30pm. Communiction with the host is lacking.
