Lovely quiet cottage
The cottage was spotless. we arrived to find a bottle of wine and fresh eggs waiting for us. We were made very welcome by Maree's parents on her behalf. The location was ideal for us to locate our days out walking on and among the hills. We hope to stay again

Hebridean summer!!
Excellent accommodation with beautiful views from the cottage. It was immaculately clean with everything we needed. The beaches on Harris were amazing especially Luskentyre. We were so lucky with the weather as well so couldn’t fault the holiday at all.
