Our self-catering accommodation comprises two unique and distinctive properties (The Other House and The Old Post Office), situated in different locations in the south of the Isle of Harris.

The Other House is situated close to our home in Borrisdale township, on the southernmost tip of the island. It occupies a secluded cliff-top location with uninterrupted views over the many islands of the Sound of Harris, to the mountains of the Uists beyond.

The Old Post Office is situated in a more central location by Leverburgh village, close to local amenities, with imposing lochside and mountain views and a large private deck and garden area.

Our interiors are furnished in vintage mid-century furniture, mainly from British designers/makers, complemented by furnishings in our own independently produced Harris Tweed – from our sister business Borrisdale Tweed.

Each property is based around a light and spacious open plan living area with adjoining well- appointed kitchen/diner, linked to a generous ensuite bedroom with king size bed.

The accommodation has satellite/smart TV with full internet connectivity for streaming, Bluetooth enabled speaker, Apple TV, fast fibre broadband (wi-fi – typical download speed 40-70 Mb/s). Both properties also have utility rooms with washing machine and tumble drier.

We remain one of the few self-catering providers in Harris offering a highly flexible booking policy, with a minimum three night stay all year round and check in any day of the week.

We are resident in Harris, self-manage the accommodation and undertake our own housekeeping, so are always available to assist if needed.

This is our second visit, the location is stunning with amazing beaches, walks and pubs/restaurants. The property is so exceptionally comfortable and Rob and Carol are perfect hosts. This is the perfect place to stay for a trip to Harris.

Amazing conversion, top-quality furnishings and gadgets, lovely host Carol. The only slight stress was keeping our clumsy mitts away from the beautiful vases and bowls. Total luxury and a spacious refuge from the occasional rain
