“The house was great all round and we really enjoyed our week, thank you.”

Top tips for anyone staying - there is a bean to cup coffee maker so if you like your coffee take some beans, wish we had known but plenty of alternatives like a caffatiere. - we took our own camping chairs to sit out the front as the views are truly spectacular! There is a wooden bench but we wanted some comfy seats! - every cooking implement is provided so take plenty of food as the nearest Tesco is a 2 hour round trip but there are local shops near by but a drive away. I would highly ...

“The cottage was very well equipped, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and in a perfect location.”

We loved every minute there!!

“The house is beautiful, however it could do with a few practical things, for example, a mirror over the wash hand basin In upstairs shower room ( for shaving etc) the one above toilet is lovely but not practical, somewhere in shower to put toiletries while having a shower.”

Finally the industrial type lights in kitchen are also lovely but could do with spotlights above kitchen sink (like u have in sitting room) industrial lighting casts shadows making it hard to see if pots etc are 100% clean. These may seem minor things, but are quite important. That said we thoroughly enjoyed our time in ur home, it is very luxurious and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is coming to Harris! We shall return!

“Fabulous house right on the most incredible beach.”

Spotlessly clean with tasteful decor and everything we needed for our stay. A home from home.

“Unfortunately our holiday was not as we had hoped.”

Many cleaning issues that the owner tried to rectify. Forever finding broken glass in the kitchen(not great with a dog). Cleanliness was a big issue. Stained sheets etc. missing mattress protection… I could go on and on. For the premium price of the property, looking back at our stay, it was not good value for money in comparison to other properties in the area. Arriving on a Saturday evening and everything on the island closed on Sunday. To have no welcome pack of at least a carton of milk and bread. Again if luxury should this be included. Talked to many locals about our problems who had heard similar stories about the property. We had to haggle the owner for a more respectable offer of a refund. LHH then appeared to hold on to the refund for as long as possible. Would never use the company again.

“One Luskentyre was the loveliest property in the most beautiful location - the nicest we have experienced yet, and being able to have our dog along made it the perfect property for us.”

Both the owner and the cleaner went to extraordinary lengths to provide the warmest welcome and ensure everything was perfect with every last detail attended to and some beautiful touches. We have already booked a return stay. A wonderful experience!

- Mrs Brodie, July 2022

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Its always great to hear when guests have an amazing holiday. Thanks also for being in touch about the keybox issue as it's meant I have now had it attended to. I'm delighted you have booked a return stay, we're looking forward to welcoming you back.

“A few glasses are chipped, apart from that all was lovely.”

- Mrs Anderson, July 2022

Thanks for letting me know about the chipped glasses. These are now replaced. Thank you very much for your booking. Property Owner

“‘1 Luskentyre could not be better placed on the edge of the most beautiful bay on the whole Isle of Harris (we checked out the others).”

The view is the best I know. The cottage is incredibly comfortable, brilliantly appointed with every convenience and comfort you could wish for, and is the perfect base - for exploring the island on sunny days, for walks on Luskentyre beach when the weather is mixed, and for relaxing when there are grey clouds.’

The property

1 Luskentyre is very definitely a luxury holiday home in the most enviable position, sitting as it does, almost on the sands of the world class Luskentyre beach - voted one of the top beaches in the world by Trip Advisor. It also offers flexible entry and departure days during low season. Newly renovated, this former croft house is now a most charming, atmospheric and comfortable holiday cottage for 4, with the added luxury of a hot tub in an oak gazebo, discretely positioned to the rear of the house and facing the west, for magnificent sunsets. To the front is the breathtaking expanse of Luskentyre beach which will draw you out to explore, paddle or swim. Peacefully situated, away from the main Harris road south, yet within easy drive of Tarbert, Scarista, Leverburgh and even the attractions of Lewis. However, it is hard to see why you would want to leave this idyllic piece of heaven, other than to perhaps enjoy a meal at one of the excellent restaurants in Harris where you can enjoy seafood or home cooked meals. The cottage was newly renovated in 2020 and is tastefully furnished. The kitchen is large and well equipped and ideal for those who will enjoy cooking the fine local produce which can be purchased, from seafood to local meat. The community store in Leverburgh is well stocked and will, with enough notice, bring in special requests such as items from an award winning butcher in Lewis. Whilst the islands are noted for their fresh seafood, vegetarians need not feel marginalised as An Talla offers delicious alternatives as does the Temple Cafe at Northton. We are sure you will find 1 Luskentyre really is Number One! A week here will rejuvenate you for months but will leave memories for a lifetime. 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 D
