Mangersta Croft Holidays

We had a magical 5 nights at Mangersta, what a beautiful spot in a wonderful part of the island - wish we had been able to stay longer! We booked both a Shepherd's Hut and a pod, both of them were brilliantly equipped, super comfy and cosy. We did some gorgeous walks along the cliffs and some amazing swims at the idyllic Reef Beach (about 20 mins in car - thanks to Elsie for the recommendation!). We'd love to go back...

We stayed for 3 nights as a family of 4(2 young children of 4 and 8) in the garden hut/cabin. Derek and Elsie were excellent hosts and very welcoming and always had time to chat or answer questions about the area and also gave great tips on where to visit. We had a lot of fun and the kids loved the wildness of the Uig coast and Mangersta beach (5 min walk) and also the fire pit where we sat and had a few drinks with other families and the hosts. A great 3 days and the cabin had all you needed for a getaway with toilet, shower, induction hob, fridge and a small tv with dvds including which the kids loved. Mangersta beach is great and 5 mins walk and is secluded. When the tide is out you can walk on the rook pools on the left hand side of the beach and also a hidden cage on teh right hand side (you can ask teh owners about this). Ardroil beach (nearby), Callanish stones, trip around Bhaltos loop, Gearrannan Blackhouse Village (there is a fee) Carloway , Butt of Lewis all in a day was a nice way to get out. If you go to Harris then Luskentyre is a must but keep going as you will see other amazing beaches within 10 mins (Seilebost beach ,Sgarasta Mhr Beach) and the mountain scenery is priceless. Lews Castle grounds in Stornoway is a nice walk with the kids and also a Gruffalo trail.
