Traigh Losgaintir

Embracing the rhythm of the islands, Seòl Mara – Gaelic for ‘the tide’ – captures the eternal dance between land and sea that defines life in the Outer Hebrides. This completely renovated traditional cottage sits in one of Seilebost’s most coveted positions, where rolling hills meet pristine waters and every window frames a postcard-perfect vista of the legendary Luskentyre bay.

Your Island Sanctuary

This charming Island retreat has been transformed into a luxurious haven while preserving its authentic cottage character. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the gentle pull of island life – whether you’re warming yourself by the crackling wood burning stove on a crisp evening or stepping into the rear garden to drink in those mesmerising views across the bay to Luskentyre village, with Harris’s ancient hills rising majestically beyond.

Thoughtfully Designed Accommodation

Seòl Mara comfortably accommodates up to four guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom provides a peaceful retreat for couples, while two additional single bedrooms offer flexibility for families, friends, or solo travellers seeking their own private sanctuary after days exploring the islands.

Modern Comfort Meets Island Charm

The heart of the cottage features a fully modernised kitchen-dining area, expertly equipped for everything from morning coffee with your Tassimo machine to preparing feasts with local seafood and Island produce. Every convenience has been considered – washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, and microwave ensure effortless living, while the spacious layout makes cooking and dining together a pleasure rather than a chore.

Luxury touches throughout create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. Thick carpets invite you to kick off your hiking boots, while carefully chosen Harris Tweed accents celebrate the islands’ rich textile heritage. The elegant hardwood flooring in the entrance hallways and kitchen adds a contemporary touch that perfectly complements the cottage’s traditional stone walls.

Nestled along West Harris’s magnificent Atlantic coastline, Corran and Seòl Mara offer two distinct perspectives on one of Scotland’s most celebrated landscapes. Both properties provide luxurious comfort with oil central heating and modernised facilities, including revitalising pressurised showers – perfect for refreshing yourself after days spent exploring pristine beaches or before settling in to watch spectacular Hebridean sunsets paint the famous Luskentyre sands in gold and crimson.

Each retreat offers its own unique vantage point: Corran provides direct access across the dunes to world-renowned Luskentyre beach, while Seòl Mara commands views across the bay to this natural wonder. From these idyllic bases, you’re perfectly positioned to explore dramatic clifftop walks, discover hidden coves, and uncover ancient archaeological treasures scattered across Harris’s timeless landscape.

Whether you’re chasing the Northern Lights across unpolluted skies, seeking adventure on coastal paths, or finding tranquility watching the Atlantic’s eternal rhythm, West Harris provides the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with nature. Here, crystal-clear turquoise waters rival any tropical paradise, yet retain the raw, untamed beauty that makes the Outer Hebrides truly unforgettable – your gateway to one of the world’s last genuinely wild places.
