Fantastic place. Warm, homely and spacious. Facilities excellent and a lovely welcome pack!

Clive United Kingdom

The house was extremely well-equipped and laid-out. There was an issue with the heating in the lounge but Anne-Marie went to extraordinary lengths to ensure we were warm, coming in each day to light a fire for us as we were so pathetic we couldn’t do it ourselves! The area was very quiet and peaceful! Also Anne-Marie gave us a demonstration of her weaving skills, which was great!

Richard United Kingdom

It’s an amazing homely spotless clean cottage we all said beds and linen so comfortable Anne Marie our host was lovely kind and so helpful lovely food box thanks for scones beautiful Loved out visit to see her loom that she used to make Harris tweed so amazingly skilful all had a go We have stayed in lots of cottages can’t recommend this one enough Tolsta beach is beautiful 10 min drive We flew our kite fun we are all adults !!saw rest of the island beautiful is beautiful too so much to see enjoyed everywhere

Sue United Kingdom

Everything! Anne Marie is an exceptional hostess and the house is well equipped with lots of extras. She really has thought of everything and made everyone in our family group consisting of a baby, young children and 6 adults of all ages felt that they had a home from home. An amazing view, incredible local beaches, great village shop, welcome basket with fresh scones and a log fire and, most importantly a lovely lady with great local knowledge and a genuine interest in people. The icing on the cake was when she let my daughter and I have a 'go' on the tweed loom. We will be back!

Maureen United Kingdom

Location is perfect, close to an amazing beach, handy wee shop, horse riding and only a short drive from ferry terminal and main shopping. House itself has everything you would need to stay, warm and comfortable.

Robbie United Kingdom

Anne Marie was super welcoming and the property was lovely and had everything we needed. It was well equipped and beautifully presented. We had a welcome basket hamper, the fire was lit and there was even a Christmas tree, which were all lovely touches. Our stay there was amazing. The local area and the views from the property were so stunning and we also explored the island and coming back to Remuera after a day out was such a delight. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Frankie United Kingdom

Clean, well catered for, perfect location to get away from it all, welcome basket with freshly baked scones by the wonderful owner Anne Marie. Nothing was too much trouble and would definitely recommend and we will hopefully return one day

Nicole United Kingdom

Anne-Marie was a wonderful host, who made our stay delightful. If you get the chance to watch her weave Harris Tweed then take it - it's a fascinating craft. We really appreciated the lovely little touches - the Scottish treats to welcome us, the sand toys and beach towels, the gorgeous soaps, the fire lit for us when we arrived late on a chilly night. We had a brilliant holiday, and would definitely stay again.

Anne-mari United Kingdom

We had a lovely stay. The pictures don't give this place justice. Anne Marie was a perfect host. We would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Karolina United Kingdom

Beautiful house, very clean and tidy, friendly and helpful owners!!!
