The Experience
Harris has its own character – rather wild, very few trees and the sort of white sandy beaches you might see in the Caribbean. You’re surrounded by wildlife and should spot seals, otters, dolphins, Minke whales, thousands of waders at low tide, corncrakes in spring and, soaring above you, white-tailed eagles – the largest UK bird of prey. In the porch you’ll find a telescope for stargazing on clear nights and in winter you may see the Northern Lights.
There’s tartan and tweed indoors, with lots of local art, an open fire in the sitting room presided over by a painting of a sweet Scottie dog, and a second seating area in the dining room with wood-burning stove and Harris tweed curtains. It’s got a cosy, comfortable feel, the kitchen has gear for even elaborate cooking and there are lots of books and games. Bedrooms (one downstairs) are traditional.
Sprawl in the garden on sunny days, or pack a picnic and head for endless fine beaches.

Such an incredible little cottage in the most stunning part of the Isle of Harris. The owner Jo is amazing, with great communication and advice during our stay. This is not the first time we stayed here, we are repeat visitors for good reason.

A great property in a truly exceptional location. Just a couple of minutes walk from one of the greatest beaches on the planet and within reach of all that the island has to offer. The property is very well appointed with everything we needed for our stay and had more than enough of space for the five of us (plus dog). The addition of a decent telescope is a real treat and allowed us to view the moons of Jupiter one clear evening. The host was very quick to respond to questions and provided excellent information prior to our stay.

Location
The neighbourhood
Hop over a stile and you can climb Beinn Dhubh, which is quite a puff but views from the top all the way to Skye (on clear days) are worth it. Tarbert is 10 miles away for two grocers - one has a butchery and is an off license as well. Here is the Isle of Harris distillery, not just for whisky but gin, or visit the Harris tweed shop. Take a boat trip to St Kilda for more birdwatching.
Local points of interest from Jo Blythe
- Set back from the road in the much sought after hamlet of Luskentyre - close to Luskentyre beach which is often voted in the Top 10 beaches in the world. The cottage also sits at the foot of Beinn Dhubh with its amazing views even out to St Kilda.
- A Walkers & Cyclists paradise - the Hebridean Way passes a couple of miles away and there are many beautiful walks on the whole island from short loops to impressive mountain adventures. Boat trips available out to St Kilda and some of the closer islands.
- The Isle of Harris is a haven for wildlife. Frequently spotted in Luskentyre are Golden Eagles, Sea Eagles and resident otters down on the shore. Fishing available in nearby lochs and estuary by arrangement with local estate.
- Luskentyre is a very safe beach for swimming and nearby there are great beaches for surfing/boogie boarding and if you're a keen kite surfer/windsurfer/kayaker Luskentyre beach and estuary has it all.
- Many historic places to visit including St Clements Church in Rodel at the bottom of Harris and The Calanish Stones, Brock, Black House village and much more in Lewis (Harris & Lewis are one land mass divided by a mountain range.
- Delicious freshly caught seafood available straight from the fishermen and some top notch restaurants serving locally sourced food from Venison to Hand Dived Scallops. Yummy fare from food vans in key locations and some lovely cafés and galleries too.

Introducing
Jo Blythe
Jo (a volunteer for a children's hospice) and Mark (publisher and keen fell runner) live in Oxford. They've had this croft as their family holiday home for many years and they and their three children come up as often as they can. They love the wildlife, boat trips, sailing, walking on the beach and the beautiful views.
Had a wonderful stay in this lovely house. It was warm and cosy, tastefully decorated, comfy beds and good showers. The location is fantastic, so close to Luskentyre Beach. Jo was a great host, very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.
