The most perfect place on earth. Outstanding stunning Cottage. We stayed in Taigh Iain. Rhoda the Owner of these two amazing Cottages was Absolutely the Best Host. Everything You need is in the Cottage. The Cottages have a large Spa Bath and sauna which are fabulous. The huge bed was SO comfortable. Everything/everywhere was SO clean too and We loved Our Welcome Bag filled with goodies.
You would never get bored of the view You have from the Living Room area and the wildlife.my Husband and I stayed here in October.
I came up with the crazy idea to come to Harris in January as part of my 40th celebrations and found Blue Reef Cottages online. The cottage was luxurious, the bed one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in and the view to die for. Rhoda is also lovely and friendly and welcoming.
We had the upset of having to leave 24hrs early because of the weather but hope to return. Beautiful beautiful place. Highly recommend the pizzas from Lorna’s Larder which is only about 10 mins away!
One of the most amazing places we have stayed, immaculately clean, luxurious, well equipped, spacious and stunning views. The perfect getaway. The owners were very nice and welcoming. We will certainly be back. Thank you.
Stunning cottage in a stunning location, with a great host. The view from this cottage (Taigh Iain) was breathtaking when the sun was out and pretty damn amazing when it wasn’t. The cottage has everything you could need (including loads of maps and mountain bikes). It is a lovely place to relax or a great base to explore the stunning beaches and the hills in the area. Rhoda and Neil are top hosts who make sure everything is in order without crowding you.
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.
We have already booked to return.
The design of the ‘cottage’, it’s location, it’s amenities, the views, nearby walks, the welcome bottle of Harris gin, the island itself, and of course Rhoda, all combine to provide a sublime experience in a utopian place. Believe all the other reviews, this place is very special. Go on, spoil yourself!
We had to postpone our trip a year because of COVID-19 travel restrictions in 2020. Rhoda was great and helped us reschedule. Blue Reef Cottages are even better than the pictures. It was well worth the wait and we finally arrived. We spent 11 nights here and look forward to returning. The cottage is exactly as portrayed in the description. Very clean and up-to-date. There was not one thing we could think of that should be added or changed. Along with the amazing cottage comes the amazing view. We walked down to the beach every evening. A beautiful peaceful place that we hope to return to soon. Thank you Rhoda for sharing your place with all of us.
We stayed for a week in September and loved this beautiful place, the sea views are stunning and the accommodation is luxurious and provides everything you could ask for. The surrounding beaches and scenery are fabulous to explore with Luskentyre beach being our favourite, it must be amongst the most amazing beaches anywhere in the world. Thanks to Rhoda who was a kind and welcoming host.
Second visit in two years and stayed in the Taigh Sheumais cottage. Essentially, just copy and paste my review from last year. Location, views, accommodation all absolutely wonderful, and Rhoda a great host.
A simply magical place. Walk in, relax, drink in the view and experience the luxury to guarantee a holiday to remember. Done it four times now and still can’t get enough of the experience.
Simply stunning! Perfect place for a relaxing mini-break. Our second time and definitely won’t be our last.
We have stayed here several times now over the last 4 or 5 years. It’s a truly magical place. The apartment itself is done to a very good standard indeed. The views are magnificent and Harris Island, well it’s awesome. The sky at night, with no light pollution, is jaw-dropping! You have to try this place if you can get in!
