What our customers say about their holidays

• Stephen - Verified booking

  'Holiday of a lifetime' sounds a bit clichéd but possibly doesn't cover our week on Harris in the Outer Hebrides adequately!

  !! Ok, we had a week of mainly sunshine and really warm temperatures (and we were aware that our own home in beautiful Cornwall had a week of much rain!) so maybe where we were staying wasn't that important? How wrong you would be! Corncrake Cottage was absolutely wonderful. We were expecting it to be from the range of photos on the LHH website, but sometimes photos don't live up to the reality. Not so in this case! The cottage is beautifully appointed and wonderfully designed. Comfortable and cosy we had everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack of goodies and even a welcome pack each for the dogs, along with bowl and mat for use during the week. Very thoughtful. If rain had forced us to be inside for much of the week it would have been a shame but a pleasure, to spend more time in Corncrake Cottage. The owners have thought very carefully about their property and the duplicate, Otter Cottage, next door. Dogs were allowed so our whippet and our friends' spaniel could come with us and enjoy those miles of unspoilt white sand beaches with us... Scarista Beach was just a five minute walk away and a real joy each day. (We loved Luskentyre as well!). The local shop in Leverburgh stocked an amazing range of things and were so friendly. We had one small issue with a window in Corncrake Cottage. The owner was with us sorting it within 10 minutes. Lovely to meet him and tell him what a great time we were having. If you want to spoil yourself for a self-catering holiday, consider Corncrake and Otter Cottages. They are unlikely to disappoint you in any substantial way. We would return like a shot!

  2 x reviews from both engineers which stayed at the property for work.

  Frist Great home to stay in and was made to feel very welcome. Lovely touches throughout like the heated blankets & snacks Everything you need in one place Cosy home and great location 10/10 would highly recommend Second Mr Macleod is a lovely gent and couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming on our arrival at this lovely property. All the rooms are incredibly comfortable, clean and homely. All the facilities were very clean and the shower was great! The kitchen is fully loaded for whatever you needed to be able to cook and again very clean and organised. Overall a very pleasurable stay and i would to come back with the family one day, hopefully in the summer time. 10/10 - 5 Stars from me. Thank you very much for having two engineers from Nederman, we hope to use you again in the future. Have a lovely Christmas.

  The two single beds were very lumpy and we couldn’t use the main shower because of sewage.

  We arrived late on a wild night after a long journey to a cold dark house which wasn’t very welcoming, all heating had been turned off. Not the standard we were expecting for a LHH property and the price we paid. The contact number given to call didn’t work so we could only call LLH who did nothing and then when we got home we called again. This time they said they couldn’t help because we didn’t prove it while we were there. I’m still waiting on LHH answering why they aren’t responsible for the wrong telephone number being given in all our correspondence. If we’d been able to call a local person we could have proved it. Their staff member we spoke to while we were there never mentioned this either. They have now closed the case without answering our question and haven’t responded to our last request for an answer.

  Dunard Villa was clean, comfortable and spacious.

  Prior to our arrival beds had been made, towels were available in kitchen and bathrooms and there was a "welcome pack" of basic food including bread, butter, jam, home-made marmalade, eggs and bacon in the kitchen. The property had good central heating and excellent hot water. The kitchen was very well equipped. During our stay there was no equipment or facilities which we missed or believed would have been necessary. The property is within easy walking distance of a large Co-operative supermarket and, indeed, the whole of Stornoway town centre. Shortcuts through the Lews Castle grounds give the walks added pleasure. People with limited mobility might note that there are a number of external steps leading from the pavement to the front door.

  Seaview is a lovely place from which to experience Barra.

  The views are amazing, you can watch the changing scenery for hours. It’s a comfortable stay. We were a party of 4, and the spare room provided that extra bit of storage and the walk in power shower that the older members of our party appreciated. Kitchen is excellent. Take some essentials for the first couple of days and enjoy cooking in a very well equipped kitchen. Once you find the Co-op you can stock up the fridge and freezer. We stayed early in the season and enjoyed the limited access to the neighbouring hotel. We would certainly return and recommend this property as an excellent base from which you can explore this beautiful island.
