This is a great property, set in a small coastal village with amazing views over the salt marsh and sea beyond which is teaming with seabirds and waders. It is spacious, clean and has every home comfort you would need. The owners have gone out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A great base for exploring the island!

A true gem of a cottage

This was a wonderful cottage, the best in which we had ever stayed and we have stayed in a lot! The location only 5 minutes walk from a stunning beach and within walking distance of at least 2 others was fantastic. The cottage was spacious and was equipped with everything you could have possibly needed. The view from the front windows was so lovely. Local people were very friendly.

Super home in south west Harris

We’re repeat visitors to this lovely house and it never disappoints. It’s warm, comfortable, well equipped? quiet and in a super location. Would thoroughly recommend. It’s an easy walk to beautiful beaches and the Temple and an easy drive to even more beautiful beaches. Beautiful views across the Northton salt flats to the Harris hills/luskentyre. 5 minute drive to Leverburgh for shops/restaurant/ferry to Berneray.

Beautiful place and very comfy and cosy house

We love the village of Northton from a previous visit so knew the location would be perfect for us - easy reach of beautiful beaches and a great base from which to explore the island. The house had everything we needed and was warm and cosy even on the blustery and wet days! Thank you!

Gorgeous, spacious house, with beautiful views, in a great location!

This was the first time that the place we'd booked turned out to be even more beautiful and spacious than it appeared in the photos! A 10 minute walk from a gorgeous beach, mobile grocery delivery, a lovely coffee shop down the road, a sustainable local stall in the other direction, just steps from the cottage, with a view of a beautiful mountain and bay from the living room and kitchen. This house has just about every amenity and extra you could want. Thank you for a brilliant stay, and we look forward to coming back in the future.
