Suitable for families, couples and groups of friends. The original house - built over 100 years ago by Bannatyne MacLeod, a son of one of the original families to settle in Scalpay in 1842 - has been renovated to the highest specification by his descendants, ensuring that its family warmth, comfort and the best features of its harbour view are shown to best effect. The house has a welcoming entrance area to kick of your boots and enjoy the warming properties of underfloor heating and the comfortable living and dining areas. The sun room, with its wonderful view, will encourage you to relax over a wonderful dram or gin from the award-winning Isle of Harris Distillery. The living area is fully equipped with TV, sound system, Nintendo Wii and Wi-Fi. There is a luxury family bathroom downstairs and a lovely en-suite upstairs with rainfall shower. Toiletries are provided. The 3 bedrooms - a twin bed room with balcony, a master with super-king-size bed and en-suite and, downstairs, a bedroom with a king-size bed - all enjoy luxury bedding and Harris tweed furnishings. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you are likely to need, including double oven, electric hobs, microwave, refrigerator, Tassimo coffee machine and dishwasher. The utility room houses the washing machine, tumble dryer and clothes driers. There is also a clothes drying area outside.

To start each morning in the sunroom with a cup of tea, looking out at the spectacular view was a gift. The bedrooms were all lovely and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook some wonderful meals. The weather was superb and we were also able to dine outside on the terrace. It was a joy to communicate with the owner, Fiona. We loved the little additional touches, like the local shower gels and shampoo from the Isle of Harris. The Outer Hebrides were better than we imagined. I definitely recommend the hike around the island of Scalpay which you can do right from the house, including a visit to the lighthouse, a definite highlight. The most magnificent beaches are only a short drive away. I hope we can return! And when we do, we will definitely stay here. ##### Amy K.
