 The hotel was built
in 1865 and has been in
the care of successive
generations of the same family since 1903. Over the years,
the
hotel has been the subject of numerous renovations and now offers a mix
of relaxing accommodation in both modern and more traditional styles.
Staying here, you’ll enjoy some of the elegance of times gone
by,
as well as more modern values of comfort and service.
Many of the original bedrooms rooms are
spacious and front facing,
while some of the more modern accommodation is smaller but with views
towards the sea. All have the en-suite facilities you would
expect, as well as TV and hospitality tray.
One of the hotel’s most celebrated
visitors, the novelist J. M.
Barrie visited the hotel during the 1920s. His initials, which he
himself etched, can still be seen in the dining room window.
Here, a good selection of fresh local food is served
in surroundings that still retain the essential character of
te
hotel.
There are a number of lounges in which to
relax, with coffee or a drink
from the bar – perhaps chosen from a huge range of malt
whiskies
– or to just view the attractive garden in front of the hotel.
Tarbert’s small shops, bank, ferry
terminal and bus stops are all
within a short walk of the Harris Hotel; the beaches of the west Harris
coast are around fifteen minutes drive and the north Harris hills are
about four miles to the north.

Suggestion
If you have not chosen to include Skye on your car touring itinerary, a
passenger journey on a bright, calm sunny day can be a pleasant
excursion from Tarbert, affording good views of passing scenery, as
well as just under five hours to explore on foot or by bus on the Isle
of Skye.
