Lovely quiet cottage
The cottage was spotless. we arrived to find a bottle of wine and fresh eggs waiting for us. We were made very welcome by Maree's parents on her behalf. The location was ideal for us to locate our days out walking on and among the hills. We hope to stay again

Great cottage in spectacular setting
This cottage enjoys a fantastic setting in Harris, a short drive from some of the best beaches you will ever see, mountains, wildlife and 2 billion year-old rocks! There is a large, secure garden outside and inside is warm and spacious with every facility you will need. I would not hesitate in recommending this property.

Our great week at Macauley Cottage
Loved the cottage from the moment we stepped inside, it was a pleasure to come home to after a days walking and exploring. Delighted to meet the family, the friendly welcome we received made us feel really welcome. Many thanks, Alan, Jim and Michael.

Lovely cottage, good location for exploring Harris
Our group of walking friends had a great week at Macaulay Cottage. It was comfortable, clean, cosy and generally well equipped. Well placed on the famous "Golden Road", but not too far off the "main" road to be a good base - less than 15 mins drive into Tarbert. The host's parents on the nextdoor croft were friendly and helpful, and we loved the sheep and lambs, ably organised by Bob dog! We had generally good weather, out for walks every day except when we went sight seeing to Lewis - a long drive, but worth seeing the Callanish Stones, Uig beach and Arnol Blackhouse (from the outside). Plus visiting the Scallop Shack and the Hebridean Soap Company. Altogether, a wonderful holiday.

Macauley Cottage
Lovely host family who were most helpful to us. Large, comfortable and well furnished house with a well equipped kitchen. Good views over Grosebay and surrounding landscape. Excellent wifi and TV reception. This is an excellent base from which to explore south and north Harris. Only a short distance from shops, restaurants and petrol.
