Laxdale Cottage is a ground floor house with all rooms accessible off the main living room and guests will love how much space there is. It is in a fantastic location to visit Harris’s incredible beaches or jump on a boat from the pier a few minutes away and ferry over to Uist for the day, or that extra special trip to St Kilda. Less than 5 minutes’ drive from the property is the well stocked local shop (closed Sunday), which also sells fuel. Also there is a licenced establishment which is a couple of minutes walk from the cottage which also serves food.
Nature enthusiasts, keen adventurers, and those who love taking to the water for some swimming or sea kayaking will find Laxdale Cottage to be the perfect base to enjoy all the above with everything in easy reach. This fabulous island is blessed with some of the world’s most renowned white sandy beaches with the spectacular Luskentyre around 20 minutes away, with the closest beach being the wonderful Scarista beach a few minutes away.
There are also many vast sandy beaches on the road between there and Laxdale Cottage. Please take care on the beaches, they look benign but some do have sinking sands and strong currents. The crystal clear, turquoise waters which surround the coastline backed by the stunning Harris Hills are a sight to behold, and nothing short of breath-taking in real life. Harris forms the lower end of the landmass joining to the Isle of Lewis and Harris. Between the two isles you will be spoilt with choice for places to visit, between incredible archaeological sites, numerous Harris tweed factories, art galleries, museums and much more. However, the beautiful unspoilt and dramatic scenery, combined with the stunning natural environment, offer guests the ultimate getaway, and there’s no doubt you’ll come back feeling most refreshed after your stay at Laxdale Cottage.
