“Katie’s cottage is in a stunning location on one of the best beaches on Harris We managed to explore the whole of Harris & Lewis from this base, getting to all points north, sout, east & west easily every day during the week of our stay.”

The cottage is very well equipped, very comfortable, secure for the dog and we’d happily stay here again.

“Wow! What an outstanding cottage and with amazing scenery, could not want for more.”

Mrs Charlesworth August 2023

“This property what can I say , clean, beautifully presented , well equipped for cooking and on the beach literally.”

The drive in is spectacular with views and wildlife galore ...not for the faint hearted if a 40 min drive for bread isn't your thing but we loved every minute.....Harris and isle of lewis are just stunning and definitely on our favourites list . Only thing with kids is the fact there is no loo upstairs ( in the middle of the night they wake u to go down lol ) but not really an issue . Can't recommend this property enough !!

“This is the perfect location you pinch yourself that you are lucky enough to stay.”

The cottage is so generous with thoughtfulness as to what you might need. This is our second visit and we booked the third visit while we were there.

“I stayed here 2 or 3 years ago.”

I regret to say that I was disappoined to see no progress since then in the back "garden"!

Mr Smith June 2023

“One of the best cottage lets we’ve ever stayed at.”

Cleanliness of the highest order. All amenities were excellent and the houseware and provisioning of cutlery, crockery, appliances etc was first class. A beautiful home from home for the week and in the nicest setting imaginable. Thank you to Alasdair for his messages and help during our stay and for the lovely welcome pack too. The weather was amazing which added an extra level to the stay but even without it, it would have been a lovely stay I’m sure.

Mrs Burgess May 2023

“A wonderfully equipped cottage in an amazing location.”

Loved walking along the beach and listening to the sea, so relaxing and everything we hoped for and more. Very romantic for two but equally would suit a family, just gorgeous!

“A wonderfully furbished cottage in a magic place!”

“We had the most fantastic week at Katie’s Cottage, the accommodation itself was lovely, really well appointed, especially the kitchen, and beautifully clean.”

The location is perfect; we were originally supposed to be there in April 2020 and we held onto the booking, looking forward to the holiday so much that we worried it might not meet our expectations, what actually happened is that it was even better than we expected - a slice of Heaven that was the perfect antidote to the last two years - we (the humans) and the dog, were very very sad to leave, and the test of a good holiday, can’t wait to return.

“Lovely cottage, great location.”

We had a great break. Just make sure you get all your groceries etc on the way it is a fair trek to a shop!

“We spent a very relaxing and therapeutic break at Katie’s Cottage.”

The cottage was lovely and warm, very comfortable, of a very high standard and it contained everything we needed. It was well worth the journey to the end of the road. Watching and listening to the sea on a couple of stormy days was wonderful. We were very sad to leave and will be back.

“Katie’s cottage is all about location, location, location!”

It is. Beautiful! The dog loved it. We loved it. Very clean, tidy and superbly equipped , the house is ideal for a family or two couples. Great break, great place.

Susan North Oct 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Katie's Cottage which was very comfortable and extremely well equipped.”

The bed linen and towels were of a quality very much appreciated. We definitely hope to return. It would have been helpful to have information about bin collection and WiFi password. We found this info in among guest book comments. A laminated information sheet (Covid wipeable) including refuse and WiFi info would be useful in addition to appliance manuals. Otherwise perfect holiday accommodation.

Very well refurbished and comfortable cottage containing all what is required. Interactions with Landlord easy. Very good walks around the area.

The property

Katie's Cottage is one of three cottages reached by a 30 minute drive along one of the most spectacular roads in Harris. Travelling through the hills and lochs, even having to pass through a castle grounds, you finally arrive to the most breath-taking scene of white sands and turquoise sea lapping up just below three cottages. This really is a dream location and one which will leave you with memories for a lifetime. The sea and island views are tremendous and there are 2 other beaches in walking distance. For those seeking a remote and peaceful holiday Huisinis may be the answer. The cottage has been newly renovated and completed in Spring 2019 and has 3 bedrooms sleeping five. It is a traditional house but with a contemporary interior and all modern conveniences. The cottage has Wi-Fi and there is mobile phone reception but, as with all remote areas this can suffer outages. We don't imagine you would be coming all this way to spend time on the internet as the area has so much to offer if you are willing to explore! The Harris Hills are challenging but rewarding and the coastal walks go for miles. The bay is suitable for windsurfing and diving and being almost on the beach the cottage is ideal for launching kayaks without having to transport them. The house is warmed by oil central heating and logs are supplied for the fire which is just supplementary as the oil central heating warms the house thoroughly. Come and escape to the cottage on the beach, you'll love it. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway. EPC Rating: Band E

About the location

TARBERT

Lochgilphead 14 miles.

Built around an inlet on Loch Fyne, Tarbert has long been both a harbour and a key strategic point in the history of Scotland's rugged West Coast. Tarbert once required three castles to protect it, and the ruins of one of these can still be visited today. Built around the natural harbour, fishing and sailing continue to play an important part in the life of the village. There are many annual events to interest all tastes including the sailing regatta on Loch Fyne, seafood and music festivals. The 87 mile Kintyre Way stretches from Tarbert to the south of the Kintyre Peninsula, and offers walking for all levels and with ferry connections to Islay and Arran, there is simply no better location to relax and explore this rugged and picturesque part of Scotland.

Note: Bring own linen for travel cot.
Note: Though electricity is included in the rent, electric for charging cars is not included in the rental.
Note: Please bear in mind that this property is located on an island and therefore only accessible by plane or ferry.
