“Lovely comfortable house in a beautiful and spectacular location.”

Fantastic views over the Minch to enjoy from the hot tub. The house was spotlessly clean on arrival and has all the basics you require to enjoy your stay. The owner Hazel lives close by and was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.

“Braemore Cottage was lovely, a well equipped and spacious cottage with amazing views.”

The hot tub was great. Location very good, just outside Tarbert so a short drive after getting off the ferry. Please remember if arriving on a Saturday evening that there will be no grocery stores open until Monday. Luckily we managed to get a restaurant booked for dinner on the Sunday otherwise might have been a bit hungry! Would love to go back ,had a brilliant week and Hazel the host was happy to help with any queries.

“Very comfortable, calm and well equipped cottage, with stunning views.”

The hot tub brings that extra touch to make the place an ideal spot especially after a long hiking day. We really appreciated the warm welcome, attention and friendliness of our host. A wonderful stay altogether.

“Even better in reality than the pictures - and they were amazing!”

Fabulous relaxing stay with all the comforts of home and more as I don't have a Hot-tub. Hope we can go back at some point.

“Wonderful New Year spent at Braemore Cottage, exploring both both Lewis and Harris.”

The Cottage is perfectly located to go North and South, with breath-taking views over the Tarbert inlet, day after day we watched glorious sunsets from the hot tub, before heading in, lighting the fire, and enjoying some local gin. The cottage was perfect for us a family of 4, everything you need, beds very comfortable, and did I mention the hot tub! Hazel and Findley, the owners, stay locally, and are so welcoming and friendly. The island is a feast of amazing wildlife - stags, seals, otters, highland cows, eagles - its everywhere, not to mention the stunning beaches, walks, and food. The water is amazing, the air clean, zero pollution, zero stress, you feel so good spending time in his incredible corner of Scotland.

“Lovely comfortable and well- equipped cottage with super views providing an excellent base to explore Harris and Lewis.”

Stewart July 2022

“Braemore Cottage is a wonderfully comfortable and most enjoyable accommodation with good quality furnishings and fittings throughout.”

It is set in a stunning location with uninterrupted views across East Loch Tarbert from Kyles of Scalpay, from both the cottage and the adjoining private deck and huge hot tub! Just 10 minutes away from Tarbert, the situation is perfect for a peaceful base from which to tour all areas of Harris and Lewis. Especially in the knowledge of returning to this luxurious cottage at the end of your day out. On a couple of occasions we decided to stay home “chill out” and enjoy what Braemore Cottage has to offer. Thank you Hazel, Finlay and family for providing us with another most enjoyable summer holiday.

“Absolutely perfect, our first time using LHH and I can happily say zero complaints from us, house was perfect, beds and bedding were top quality extremely comfortable, cottage was exactly what we expected, comfortable, high quality and felt homely, addition of hot tub with great view was the cherry on the cake.”

Owners are just across the road from the property which was great if we needed anything (although we didn't). highly recommend staying here, we loved it.

The property

Braemore Cottage has been built and furnished to a high standard and offers luxurious comfort in spectacular surroundings. The hot tub is positioned to offer privacy but also a magnificent view out across the sea, where eagles frequently soar. The cottage is situated just 10 miles east of Tarbert, where the ferry arrives from the Isle of Skye. Here is the Harris Gin Distillery visitor centre and cafe and also the long-established Harris Tweed Centre. Head south of here for the fabulous expanse of sandy beaches all down the coast or head north for a day and explore the wild and mountainous Harris Hills. Or perhaps take a trip up to Lewis and visit the ancient Callanish Stones. The Isle of Scalpay is just a short distance and reached by bridge. This area has a fascinating fishing history and the owner of Braemore Cottage can also, if available, provide fresh shellfish in season. An area rich in wildlife, you can expect to see eagles, seals and otters close to Braemore Cottage and over on Scalpay, in spring and summer, you can enjoy walking through the flower rich machair - best achieved on the circular walk past the famous Eilean Glas lighthouse.Photographers and artists will find an abundance of subjects and the cyclists and runners can experience both undulating and challenging hills and tracks. Kayaking in the Kyles offer the opportunity to be accompanied by seals and otters but, whatever floats your boat, returning to the hot tub on the deck must surely be the icing on the cake! The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway. EPC Rating: Band B
