Link to more photosThe 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.
