Our holiday cottages in the Isle of Harris offer complete seclusion from the outside world, allowing couples to reconnect and spend time together on winter breaks whilst taking in the stunning scenery and exploring all the island has to offer.

Climbing to the top - exciting and challenging!

Our tallest peaks, Clisham and Ceapabhal, offer not just beautiful sights, but exciting challenges to mountaineers. Often covered in snow in winter, the views from the top are astonishing. And even if you don’t wish to climb, hiking around Harris in winter shows off the landscape in a way no other season can. Whether covered in snow or peaceful and dry, as nature goes to sleep plenty of country paths, otherwise inaccessible in summer, clear up for walkers.

Testimonials

This location is simply stunning, and the cottages do it justice. On sunny days, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer delightful panoramic views of Ceapabhal, Taransay and the North Harris Mountains: on rainy days, the views are as spectacular, as you enjoy a grandstand view of the weather arriving from the North Atlantic.

On a sunny day, you can sit outside and relax; on a wide day, there are always the sauna and whirlpool bath. It is an amazingly relaxing location that we love, and the owners are always available to advise on the locality, including whether the local scallop diver has been able to harvest or the langoustine and lobster fishermen able to collect their pots.

This is a great location: we love walking (and eating) our way around the islands, but golf, kayaking, sea swimming are all possible nearby.
